Resumen:
Glyphosate (GLY) is a broad spectrum herbicide used for weed control. During the evaluation stages for product approval, only lethal effects studies on invertebrates were reported. However, the possibility that GLY causes sub-lethal damage to non target organisms such as insects that forage in agricultural ecosystems cannot be discounted. Honeybees are the main agricultural pollinators and a well known model for learning and memory research.
