Summary

Neonicotinoids, a widely used class of insecticide, have been found in surface waters globally. They pose a risk to non-target species found in aquatic environments such as aquatic macroinvertebrates. To better understand the effects of the neonicotinoids imidacloprid, clothianidin and their mixtures on aquatic communities we ran a 30 day mesocosm test. Rock trays were colonized with natural benthic communities in the Cache La Poudre River, located in the mountains of Northern Colorado, and relocated to a laboratory experimental stream setting. In total there were 33 experimental streams: 3 controls and 30 treatments consisting of both single compound and binary compound exposures with 5 treatment levels for each exposure series.

Purpose

These data were collected to better understand the effects of imidacloprid and clothianidin and the interaction between the two on aquatic communities. This dataset helps fill in gaps in aquatic life benchmarks for neonicitinoid(s) by expanding the number of taxa for which effect concentrations are known and broaden our knowledge of effects of these compounds at the community level, and quantifying exposure and risks in rivers of the U.S.
