A recent study from the University of Saskatchewan concluded that imidacloprid (neonicotinoid) and chlorpyrifos (organophosphate), two of the most widely used insecticides worldwide, pose a serious risk to the migratory ability of wild songbirds. This result could have major implications for regulation decisions of these pesticides.
