Advancing environmental risk assessment for transgenic biofeedstock crops (2009, background): “A limitation of many current studies ostensibly designed to address risks of transgenic plants to the environment is a tendency to focus on structural elements of the ecosystem, such as a specific non-target species, rather than on functional endpoints such as ecological services [53].”
Environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants - concepts and controversies (2011, background): “Additionally, as science-based risk hypotheses and testing protocols are both derived from the selection procedure of testing organism, it also meets the call for hypothesisdriven testing regimes [59] and for ‘a method to select the most important problems’ [60].”
Systemic risks of genetically modified crops: the need for new approaches to risk assessment (2011, background): “One basic suggestion of Raybould is that “ecologists must avoid the temptation to test null hypotheses [of no difference between a transgenic plant and a non-transgenic comparator]” but test risk hypotheses on adverse effects of GM crops on environmental goods and processes that need to be protected”
Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “Nonetheless, there remain differences of opinion on how best to employ risk assessment systems based on differing objectives and philosophies [36].”
Integration of Insect-Resistant Genetically Modified Crops within IPM Programs (2008, background): “It has highlighted the importance of applying risk assessment methodologies that include both hazard identification and evaluation of the likelihood of exposure to the hazard (e.g., Sears et al., 2001; Raybould, 2007), and has led to the development of testing methods to assess the potential effects”
Gene Flow, Risk Assessment and the Environmental Release of Transgenic Plants (2008, unknown): “Finally, evaluate and assess risk (Raybould, 2007).”
