The research, led by and colleagues from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) , investigates the presence of pesticide residues in European hares living within agricultural landscapes in Denmark. This species is often used as a bioindicator for the health of agricultural ecosystems. Key Findings

: It highlights that hares are consistently exposed to various chemical "co-formulants" and active pesticide ingredients, even outside of peak spraying seasons, due to their diet and habitat. 126597

: A significant aspect of the research is the detection of multiple residues simultaneously, pointing toward the "cocktail effect" where various chemicals may interact in ways that increase toxicity. Scientific Contribution The research, led by and colleagues from the
