Article Synopsis
- Neonicotinoids, like imidacloprid, are common insecticides that negatively affect birds, leading to issues such as reduced fat stores and delayed migration.
- A study on Zebra finches found that low doses of imidacloprid during early growth improved body condition and enabled compensatory growth even under food restrictions.
- The research reveals that early exposure to low doses of neonicotinoids can have lasting effects on adult birds, influencing their lean mass and metabolic rates.
