Our meta-analysis on the impact of neonicotinoids on birds is out at Ecology Letters: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ele.14534
A massive effort by my co-authors putting together such a comprehensive dataset (1612 effect sizes from 49 studies). The results unfortunately show consistent negative effects of neonicotinoid exposure on bird health, behaviour, reproduction, and survival and might be a contributing factor to the extensive bird declines globally.

#Neonicotinoids of course "...developed by scientists at #Shell and #Bayer in the 1980s." 🤢
