Effects of neonicotinoids on bees: an invalid experiment

Research output: Contribution to journal › Letter › peer-review

Abstract

We use a recent study on the effects of neonicotinoids on bees as a concrete example to reinforce the advice of OEPP/EPPO (2010) that strong inference is impossible if there is no true replication and that analyses based on pseudoreplication are invalid.
