The broad utilisation of neonicotinoids in agriculture has led to the unplanned contamination of adjacent terrestrial and aquatic systems around the world. Environmental monitoring regularly detects neonicotinoids at concentrations that may cause negative impacts on molluscs. The toxicity of neonicotinoids to some non-target invertebrates has been established; however, information on mollusc species is limited. Molluscs are likely to be exposed to various concentrations of neonicotinoids in the soil, food and water, which could increase their vulnerability to other sources of mortality and cause accidental exposure of other organisms higher in the food chain. This review examines the impacts of various concentrations of neonicotinoids on molluscs, including behavioural, physiological and biochemical responses. The review also identifies knowledge gaps and provides recommendations for future studies, to ensure a more comprehensive understanding of impacts from neonicotinoid exposure to molluscs.
新烟碱类农药在农业中的广泛使用导致了全球范围内相邻陆地和水生系统的意外污染。环境监测经常检测到新烟碱类农药的浓度可能会对软体动物产生负面影响。新烟碱类农药对一些非靶标无脊椎动物的毒性已经得到证实；然而，关于软体动物物种的信息有限。软体动物可能会在土壤、食物和水中接触到各种浓度的新烟碱类农药，这可能会增加它们对其他死亡来源的易感性，并导致食物链中更高层的其他生物意外接触。本综述探讨了不同浓度新烟碱类农药对软体动物的影响，包括行为、生理和生化反应。该综述还确定了知识空白，并为未来的研究提供了建议，以确保更全面地了解新烟碱类农药暴露对软体动物的影响。
