• Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Abundance of Nontarget Arthropod Natural Enemies (2005, result): “Studies with other coccinellids andO. insidiosus feeding onBt corn pollen showed no negative effects (Pilcher et al. 1997, Al-Deeb et al. 2001, Lundgren and Wiedenmann 2002).”
• Population Responses and Food Consumption by Predators Coleomegilla maculata and Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) During Anthesis in an Illinois Cornfield (2004, background): “Similarly, studies on the impacts of coleopteran-speciÞc transgenic corn pollen (event MON863 that expresses Cry3Bb1) showed no effects on C. maculata Þtness in the laboratory (Duan et al. 2002, Lundgren and Wiedenmann 2002).”
• Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, background): “However, it should be noted that most studies do not document effects on non-target coccinellids from commercialized transgenic crops (e.g., Al-Deeb et al., 2001; Lundgren and Wiedenmann, 2002, 2004, 2005; Pilcher et al., 2005; Shelton et al., 2009; but see Birch et al. 1999; Lovei et al., 2009).”
• Neonicotinoid insecticide travels through a soil food chain, disrupting biological control of non-target pests and decreasing soya bean yield (2015, methodology): “Because neonicotinoids can impair motor control at sublethal doses (Goulson 2013), we recorded beetle flip time to assess beetle coordination (Lundgren & Wiedenmann 2002).”
• The impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies: a critical review of laboratory studies (2005, background): “Some authors (e.g., Lundgren & Wiedenmann, 2002; Romeis et al., 2004) published retrospective power analyses.”
• The multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis: A review of its biology, uses in biological control, and non-target impacts (2003, background): “For example, the impact of coleopteran specific Cry3Bb toxins expressed by genetically modified, corn rootworm resistant corn have been examined for C. maculata (Lundgren and Wiedenmann, 2002), but not for H. axyridis.”
• Transgenic rootworm corn: assessing potential agronomic, economic, and environmental benefits. (2004, background): “expressing corn pollen (event MON863), larval development, larval survivorship, and pupal weight were unaffected (21).”
• Ecological compatibility of GM crops and biological control (2009, unknown): “…tissues, and seeds from commercialized Bt events do not affect natural enemies in the laboratory (Pilcher et al., 1997; Armer et al., 2000; Lundgren and Wiedenmann, 2002; Geng et al., 2006; Mullin et al., 2005; Ludy and Lang, 2006b; Obrist et al., 2006b; Torres et al., 2006; Li et al.,…”
• Bt maize expressing Cry3Bb1 does not harm the spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, or its ladybird beetle predator, Stethorus punctillum (2010, background): “…our results, a number of studies have revealed no negative effect of purified Cry3Bb1 or Cry3Bb1-containing Bt maize pollen on ladybird beetles (Lundgren and Wiedenmann, 2002; Duan et al., 2002; Monsanto, 2004; Ahmad et al., 2006), carabids (Ahmad et al., 2006; Mullin et al., 2005; Duan et…”
• Evaluation of dietary effects of transgenic corn pollen expressing Cry3Bb1 protein on a non‐target ladybird beetle, Coleomegilla maculata (2002, methodology): “Although the dietary exposure regime used in Lundgren & Wiedenmann (2002) was different from the one used in the study reported here, no differences were observed in fitness parameters such as larval and adult survivorship, larval developmental time, and re- productive potential for C. maculata…”
• Exposure of arthropod predators to Cry1Ab toxin in Bt maize fields (2006, background): “…a substantial food source for Coleomegilla maculata DeGeer (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) an important predator in North America and thus, pollen feeding is addressed in many risk assessment studies of transgenic Bt maize (Pilcher et al., 1997; Duan et al., 2002; Lundgren & Wiedenmann, 2002, 2004).”
