Abstract
Estrogen binding to estrogen receptors (ESR) triggers signaling cascades within cells. Historically, a major emphasis has been characterizing estrogen-induced genomic actions resulting from binding to nuclear estrogen receptor 1 (nESR1). However, recent evidence indicates the first receptors estrogens encounter as they enter a cell, membrane ESR1 (mESR1), also play crucial roles. Membrane and nuclear ESR are derived from the same transcripts but the former are directed to the membrane via palmitoylation. Binding and activation of mESR1 leads to rapid fluctuations in cAMP and Ca+2 and stimulation of protein kinase pathways. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) that mimic 17β-estradiol can signal through mESR1 and elicit non-genomic effects. Most current EDC studies have focused on genomic actions via nESR1. However, increasing number of studies have begun to examine potential EDC effects mediated through mESR1, and some EDC might have higher potency for signaling through mESR1 than nESR1. The notion that such chemicals might also affect mESR1 signaling via palmitoylation and depalmitoylation pathways has also begun to gain currency. Recent development of transgenic mice that lack either mESR1 or nESR1, while retaining functional ESR1 in the other compartment, will allow more precise in vivo approaches to determine EDC effects through nESR1 and/or mESR1. It is increasingly becoming apparent in this quickly evolving field that EDC directly affect mESR and estrogen signaling, but such chemicals can also affect proportion of ESR reaching the membrane. Future EDC studies should be designed to consider the full range of effects through mESR alone and in combination with nESR.

Abstract
The seven-spotted ladybird beetle, Coccinella septempunctata L., as a dominant predator of aphids, has played a crucial role in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in agricultural ecosystems. To study the risk of insecticides to C. septempunctata, the neonicotinoid clothianidin was selected for evaluation of its influence on C. septempunctata at lethal and sublethal doses. The LR50 (application rate causing 50% mortality) in the exposed larvae decreased from 19.94 to 5.91 g a.i. ha-1, and the daily HQ (hazard quotient) values increased from 3.00 to 10.15, indicating potential intoxication risks. We also determined NOERs (No Observed Effect application Rates) of clothianidin on the total developmental time (10 g a.i. ha-1), survival (2.5 g a.i. ha-1) and pupation (5 g a.i. ha-1). Moreover, clothianidin at a NOER of 2.5 g a.i. ha-1 did not profoundly affect adult emergence, fecundity or egg hatchability. The total effect (E) assessment also showed that clothianidin at 2.5 g a.i. ha-1 was slightly harmful to C. septempunctata. These results suggested that clothianidin would impair C. septempunctata when applied at over 2.5 g a.i. ha-1 in the field. Conservation of this biological control agent in agricultural ecosystems thus requires further measures to decrease the applied dosages of clothianidin.

Abstract
The increasing demand for lessening the chemical input in agricultural ecosystems requires an efficient combination of pesticides and biological controls. Thus, fully understanding the compatibility of pesticides and beneficial arthropod predators is helpful and essential. In this study, we evaluated the influence of nitenpyram on both larvae and adults of Coccinella septempunctata using exposure doses of 10, 25, 50, 100, and 150% of the maximum recommended field rate (MRFR) (3, 7.5, 15, 30, and 45 g a.i. ha-1, respectively) and a blank control based on a preliminary acute 72-h toxicity experiment. In the long-term test, the LR50 (application rate causing the mortality of 50% of the individuals) of nitenpyram for C. septempunctata decreased from 73.43 to 63.0 g a.i. ha-1, while the HQ (hazard quotient) values remained below the threshold value of 2. Nitenpyram did not significantly influence the survival rate, fecundity, pupation, or adult emergence at 150% of the label rate (lowest LR50 = 63.0 g a.i. ha-1), and its demonstrated NOER (No Observed Effect application Rates) values are all above 45 g a.i. ha-1. Likewise, the total developmental time and egg hatchability were not significantly affected at 100% of the label rate (NOER = 30 g a.i. ha-1). The assessment of the total effect (E) suggested that nitenpyram could be classified as harmless to C. septempunctata below/at a dose of 30 g a.i. ha-1. The lowest LR50 and NOER values were both above the maximum recommended field application rate for nitenpyram (30 g a.i. ha-1) for controlling aphids in China. All results indicated that the on-label use of nitenpyram is compatible with the natural enemy C. septempunctata in agricultural ecosystems.

Abstract
Long-term effects of a single application of imidacloprid on ladybird beetle, Coccinella septempunctata L., were studied in indoor laboratory microcosms, starting with the 2nd instar larvae of C. septempunctata but covering the full life cycle. The microcosms comprised enclosures containing a pot with soil planted with broad bean plants and black bean aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch, as food. Exposure doses (0.85-13.66g a.i. ha(-1)) in the long-term microcosm experiment were based on a preliminary short-term (72h) toxicity test with 2nd instar larvae. The measurement endpoints used to calculate NOERs (No Observed Effect application Rates) included development time, hatching, pupation, adult emergence, survival and number of eggs produced. Furthermore, for these endpoints ER50 (application rate causing 50 percent effect) and LR50 (application rate causing 50 percent mortality) values were calculated when possible. The single imidacloprid application affected survival (lowest LR50 4.07g a.i. ha(-1); NOER 3.42g a.i. ha(-1)), egg production (ER50 26.63g a.i. ha(-1)) and egg hatching (NOER 6.83g a.i. ha(-1)). Statistically significant treatment-related effects on the whole development duration, pupation and adult emergence could not be demonstrated (NOER≥13.66g a.i. ha(-1)). The lowest L(E)R50 values and NOERs derived from the laboratory microcosm test with C. septempunctata are lower than the reported field application rates of imidacloprid (15-60g a.i. ha(-1)) in cotton cultivation in China, suggesting potential risks to beneficial arthropods.
