Field relevant concentrations of neonicotinoids reduced behavioural rhythmicity. (a) Representative actograms of the activity of single flies for control or 50 μg/L imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam or thiacloprid. Blue bars indicate activity, grey background indicates lights off, white background lights on. Mean rhythmicity for flies exposed to 1, 10 or 50 μg/L (b) IM (F3,112 = 2.5, p = 0.060), (c) CLO (F3,116 = 14.2, p < 0.001), (d) TMX (F3,118 = 23.7, p < 0.001) and (e) TCL (F3,118 = 0.05, p = 0.987). Each data point represents a single fly, n = 28–32 flies per treatment. Pie charts show the increase in the proportion of the population who were arrhythmic (rhythmicity statistic (RS) ≤ 1.5) for 50 μg/L: (f) IM, (g) CLO, (h) TMX and (i) TCL, compared to controls.
