• Abundance of non-target pests in transgenic Bt-maize: A farm scale study (2005, methodology): “However, Dutton et al. (2004) detected, using ELISA, only small quantities of toxin in Z. scutellaris that had fed on Bt-maize Event Bt11, which contains a higher concentration of toxin than Event Syngenta 176 (Dutton et al., 2003).”
• Biological Activity of Cry1Ab Toxin Expressed by Bt Maize Following Ingestion by Herbivorous Arthropods and Exposure of the Predator Chrysoperla carnea (2006, background): “A major concern regarding the deployment of insect resistant transgenic plants is their potential impact on non-target arthropods, in particular on natural enemies that are important for natural pest regulation (Groot and Dicke, 2002; Dutton et al., 2003).”
• The impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies: a critical review of laboratory studies (2005, methodology): “suggested testing approach for non-target impacts of GM crops (Dutton et al., 2003).”
• Genetically engineered crops help support conservation biological control (2019, background): “, 2006c) also lacked exposure given the very low concentrations of Cry proteins in the pollen of this event (Dutton et al., 2003; Nguyen and Jehle, 2007).”
• Expression of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac protein in cotton plants, acquisition by pests and predators: a tritrophic analysis (2006, background): “Conveyance of Bt proteins in the prey/host body to predators and parasitoids has been investigated as a potential route for nontarget impact of Bt transgenic plants ( Raps et al. , 2001; Head et al. , 2001; Bernal et al. , 2002; Dutton et al. , 2003; Schuler et al. , 1999 and 2001 ).”
• Canopy- and Ground-Dwelling Predatory Arthropods in Commercial Bt and non-Bt Cotton Fields: Patterns and Mechanisms (2005, background): “Thus, several suggestions have been made to improve experimental risk assessment of Bt-transgenic plants (Marvier 2002, Dutton et al. 2003).”
• Transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and biological control (2006, background): “Ecological risk assessment for regulatory purposes is commonly organized in a step-wise (tiered) approach, where the assessment increases in complexity and realism based on the knowledge gained during previous test”
• Exposure of arthropod predators to Cry1Ab toxin in Bt maize fields (2006, background): “Besides the investigation of the toxicity of an insecticidal protein expressed by a transgenic plant, it is important to assess the extent to which nontarget organisms are exposed to the toxin (U.S. EPA, 1998; Cowgill & Atkinson, 2003; Dutton et al., 2003).”
