• Impact of transgenic cotton plants on a non‐target pest, Aphis gossypii Glover (2005, background): “As shown by the literature, studies on the effect of transgenic plants on non-target organisms have mainly focused on beneficial insects (Dogan et al., 1996; Lozzia et al., 1998; Birch et al., 1999), with little attention being paid to non-target pests.”
• 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).”
• Genetic Transformation of Crops for Insect Resistance: Potential and Limitations (2004, background): “persicae) colonizing transgenic potatoes expressing the lectin gene from Galanthus nivalis have shown a decrease in fecundity, egg viability, and longevity (Birch et al., 1999).”
• The impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies: a critical review of laboratory studies (2005, background): “Numerous studies on C. carnea (Hilbeck et al., 1998b; Romeis et al., 2004) and those on A. bipunctata (Birch et al., 1999; Down et al., 2003) reinforce that significant impacts cannot be fully explored by following an ecotoxicological conceptual framework.”
• The release of genetically modified crops into the environment. Part II. Overview of ecological risk assessment. (2003, background): “Retarded development and extended time to pupation of the ladybird is therefore directly attributable to the reduced weight of aphids reared on GNA-expressing potato.”
