Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, neutral): “…organisms, (Saxena, and Stotsky, 2001; Phipps and Park, 2002; Shelton et al., 2002, 2007; 898 Lacey and Merritt, 2003; O’Callaghan et al., 2005; Wu et al., 2005; Romeis et al., 2006; Marvier 899 et al., 2007; Roh et al., 2007; Chen et al., 2008; Kumar et al., 2008; Wolfenbarger, et al. 2008).”
Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, neutral): “[2, 10–27]).”
Ecological compatibility of GM crops and biological control (2009, neutral): “…or the insecticidal toxins produced by insect-resistant GM crops, to speciﬁc indicator species representing various taxonomic or functional guilds (this insecticidal toxicity is addressed by Andow and Hilbeck, 2004; Hilbeck et al., 2006; Hilbeck and Schmidt, 2006; Romeis et al., 2006, 2008a).”
Another View on Bt Proteins - How Specific are They and What Else Might They Do? (2006, background): “Several reviews were published recently where the authors evaluated often the same studies but arrived at different conclusions (Lövei and Arpaia, 2005; O’Callaghan et al., 2005, Romeis et al., 2006).”
Microbiology is the basis of sustainable agriculture: an opinion (2011, background): “, 2009) and to the biocontrol of phytophagans (Romeis et al., 2006; Mohammed et al., 2008).”
Sustainable pest management for cotton production. A review (2011, background): “…practice which respects the classical tenets of IPM or facilitates the use of Bt cotton and the reduction in unnecessary insecticide treatments, supports the role of the indigenous beneficial arthropod fauna, which are often insufficient by themselves (Romeis et al., 2006; Symondson et al., 2002).”
Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world (2013, background): “With insecticide- and herbicide-resistant crops steadily adopted in many developing countries, the assessment of their impact on biological control could prove a fertile field of research (Romeis et al., 2006; Lundgren et al., 2009).”
Metabolomics – A robust bioanalytical approach for the discovery of the modes-of-action of pesticides: A review (2011, neutral): “thuringiensis encoding genes for toxins [72,73].”
Ecological versus ecotoxicological methods for assessing the environmental risks of transgenic crops (2007, methodology): “[45] predicted that natural enemies of the target pest could be reduced in abundance, but organisms that are not natural enemies of the target pest would not be reduced in abundance compared with untreated non-transgenic controls.”
Screening of Brazilian Bacillus thuringiensis isolates active against Spodoptera frugiperda, Plutella xylostella and Anticarsia gemmatalis (2007, background): “The extensive variety of Bt strains and the toxins they produce permit the production of bioinsecticides using the bacteria themselves and also allows use of the toxin genes in the development of transgenic plants (Romeis et al., 2006).”
Exposure of arthropod predators to Cry1Ab toxin in Bt maize fields (2006, background): “To date, many field studies have been performed with Bt maize, which primarily assessed its impact on the abundance of numerous arthropod species (for review see Dutton et al., 2003; O’Callaghan et al., 2005, Romeis et al., 2006).”
Biosafety education relevant to genetically engineered crops for academic and non-academic stakeholders in East Africa (2009, background): “This concern is generally addressed through testing toxicity of active ingredient on indicator organisms and by monitoring for toxic effects (Andow and Hillbeck, 2004; Romeis et al. 2006).”
Bt maize expressing Cry3Bb1 does not harm the spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, or its ladybird beetle predator, Stethorus punctillum (2010, background): “Consequently, indirect effects of Cry3Bb1-expressing maize (effects mediated by prey quality) on S. punctillum or other mite predators are not expected (Romeis et al., 2006).”
