The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Genetically engineered crops help support conservation biological control (2019, background): “Nectar is an important source of carbohydrates for adult parasitoids and some predators (Coll and Guershon, 2002; Lundgren, 2009), although there is no evidence that nectar contains Cry proteins.”
RNAi-Based Insecticidal Crops: Potential Effects on Nontarget Species (2013, background): “…et al. 2010), and, arguably, the commercialization of Bt crops has had few if any consistent direct effects on the abundance of nontarget organisms under field conditions (Marvier et al. 2007, Duan et al. 2008, Wolfenbarger et al. 2008, Lundgren et al. 2009, Naranjo 2009, Peterson et al. 2011).”
Mitigating the effects of insecticides on arthropod biological control at field and landscape scales (2014, background): “This does not mean, however, that GM crops automatically fit well within an IPM framework (Lundgren et al., 2009).”
