Supplemental data for: Comparison of established and novel insecticides on survival and reproduction of Folsomia candida

In this study, the effects of six insecticides including two neonicotinoids (thiamethoxam, clothianidin), a diamide (cyantraniliprole), a ketoenol (spirotetramat), a pyridine (flonacamid), and a butanolide (flupyradifurone) on the survival and reproduction of the parthenogenic collembolan species Folsomia candida were investigated and compared. The raw data from this study has been deposited in their data repository. The neonicotinoids, the diamide, and the butanolide were found to have the most significant impact on survival and reproduction, while less significant effects and in some cases no effect on survival and reproduction were reported in the ketoenol and pyridine insecticides at the concentrations tested.

All significant impacts were reported at concentrations below expected environmental concentrations of the active ingredients investigated in agricultural soils.
