Management success : New strategies for effective management of pesticide pollution and associated eco‐toxicities such as teratogenicity are highly sought after. Herein, the teratogenicity of the pesticide nereistoxin and its derivative thiocyclam towards aquatic life was significantly constrained by a synthetic receptor, cucurbit[7]uril, through selective encapsulation of the pesticides, as evidenced by the rate of hatchability, morphology development, and tyrosinase activity of zebrafish larvae incubated with the pesticides in the absence and in the presence of cucurbit[7]uril. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Ruibing Wang et al. on page 41 in Issue 1, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/asia.201701527).
