- Another View on Bt Proteins - How Specific are They and What Else Might They Do? (2006, background): “While dead insects, which were killed by the toxins, provide a suitable nutrient source for the spores to germinate and continue vegetative growth, a possible role of the toxins in interactions between microorganisms in soil or in dead organic matter was also proposed (Addison, 1993).”
- GENETICALLY ENGINEERED ORGANISMS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: CURRENT STATUS AND RECOMMENDATIONS1 (2005, background): “For example, prior to the introduction of Bt corn that targets the European corn borer, only a small percentage of corn was treated with insecticides to control corn borer infestations (Obrycki et al. 2001).”
- Transgenic rootworm corn: assessing potential agronomic, economic, and environmental benefits. (2004, background): “been raised that the benefits of transgenic corn are limited because the ecological effects on nontarget species are poorly documented and need additional study (27).”
- Ecological Engineering for Pest Management: Advances in Habitat Manipulation for Arthropods (2004, background): “During the past few years, since the late 1990s, the percentage of field corn treated with insecticides in the US has remained at approximately 30%, despite a significant increase in the hectares of Bt corn planted (Obrycki et al. 2001).”
- Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “There continues to be debate about the most appropriate approaches to assessing risk to non-target organisms in transgenic crops ([18, 34–37]).”
- Arthropod Abundance and Diversity in Bt and Non-Bt Cotton Fields (2004, background): “This has raised the issue of whether widespread adoption of Bt crops reduces arthropod abundance and diversity (Schuler et al. 1999, Obrycki et al. 2001, Tabashnik et al. 2001, Groot and Dicke 2002, Conner et al. 2003, Carrière et al. 2004).”
- Impact of Transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis Corn and Crop Phenology on Five Nontarget Arthropods (2005, background): “Many scientists believe that large-scale growth of transgenic products (e.g.,Bt corn) may carry potential ecological risks to natural enemies (Hokkanen and Wearing 1994, Jepson et al. 1994, Gould 1998, Hoy et al. 1998, Way and van Emden 2000, Obrycki et al. 2001, 2004).”
- Effect of Bt Corn for Corn Rootworm Control on Nontarget Soil Microarthropods and Nematodes (2003, background): “Obrycki et al. (2001) mentioned that Bt corn is a good control measure against several important corn pests, but its potential risks and effects on the environment need to be evaluated.”
- Systemic risks of genetically modified crops: the need for new approaches to risk assessment (2011, background): “The two different concepts for GMO risk assessment were named “ecological approach” and “(eco)toxicological approach” [27,28].”
- Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, background): “In contrast, the relatively recent pest status of the soybean aphid in North America has resulted in a series of studies showing the variation in the role of predation by Coccinellidae and other natural enemies across the aphid’s North American range.”
