Azoles represent the most used family of organic fungicides worldwide and they are used in agriculture to circumvent the detrimental impact of fungi on yields. Although it is known that these triazoles can contaminate the air, the soil, and the water, field data are currently and dramatically lacking to assess if, and to what extent, the use of tri...

Triazole compounds are among the most widely used fungicides in agroecosystems to protect crops from potential fungal diseases. Triazoles are suspected to have an impact on non‐target species due to their interactions with non‐fungal sterol synthesis and wild birds are likely to be contaminated by triazoles fungicides as many of them live in agroec...

Neonicotinoids are insecticides widely used as seed treatments that appear to have multiple negative effects on birds at a diversity of biological scales. Adult birds exposed to a low dose of imidacloprid, one of the most commonly used neonicotinoids, presented reduced fat stores, delayed migration and potentially altered orientation. However, litt...

... Some experimental studies have shown that azoles can affect physiological functions and have detrimental effects on fitness in animal models (Cao et al., 2019;Souders et al., 2019;Sun et al., 2020;Bellot et al., 2022b). A few studies have also demonstrated that the consumption of triazole-coated seeds may impair reproduction and physiological functions of granivorous birds living in agroecosystems (Fernández-Vizcaíno et al., 2020;Lopez-Antia et al., 2021). ...
... Several studies have demonstrated that contaminants can alter the functioning of the HPT axis and the metabolism of vertebrates (e.g., Braham & Neal, 1974), but most of these studies have focused on polychlorinated biphenyls (French et al., 2001;Smits et al., 2002;Tori & Mayer, 1981;Verreault et al., 2007;Voltura & French, 2000), organochlorine pesticides (Blévin et al., 2017), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (Allen et al., 2016;Lema Sean et al., 2008), per-and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (Ask et al., 2021;Blévin et al., 2017;Sebastiano et al., 2021), and neonicotinoids (Zgirski et al., 2021). The potential impact of endocrine disruptors on metabolism remains neglected, especially regarding contaminants of emerging interest such as azoles. ...
