Figure 7

Sensitivity of ALNs from Bombus terrestris and Apis mellifera to esfenvalerate. (A,B) Use-dependant decrease in the sodium peak current amplitude in control condition (left; (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01) and with esfenvalerate 10 µM (right). Scales on Y axis are identical. (C) Mean percentages of modified voltage-gated sodium channels in esfenvalerate-exposed ALNs. (D) Decay of the pyrethroid-induced tail current after ten consecutive depolarizations expressed as R600. No species-dependent difference was detected. ns = not significant.
