Worldwide pollinator declines are a growing concern amid the scientific community and the public at large. While modern agricultural practices have been identified as a major factor contributing to the pollinator crisis, most of the research on this topic has focused on the effects of insecticide use on pollinators. In contrast, far less effort has been invested in understanding the possible downstream effects of herbicide use on pollinators via its effects on the plants on which pollinators rely for floral resources. This oversight is especially alarming because herbicides surpass insecticides as the most widely used class of pesticides worldwide, and instances of pollution from newly adopted herbicides, namely synthetic auxin (“auxinic”) herbicides, are rising. Vero Iriart will present the findings from her ongoing postdoctoral research project, which aims to assess the effects of novel auxinic herbicide exposure on plants, pollinators, and plant-pollinator interactions. In doing so, we apply a holistic framework by investigating the impact of other relevant biotic factors present in agroecosystems (e.g. herbivores and soil microorganisms) that may also be important for mediating the consequences of herbicide exposure for plants and pollinators.
