• Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “caused by reduction in prey targeted by Bt cotton) demonstrated in a companion 5-year study [69].”
• Biological control and sustainable food production (2008, background): “A 6-year field study in Bt cotton on the abundance of 22 arthropod natural enemy taxa indicated that the exposure to the Bt toxin over multiple generations did not cause any chronic long-term effects (Naranjo 2005a).”
• Canopy- and Ground-Dwelling Predatory Arthropods in Commercial Bt and non-Bt Cotton Fields: Patterns and Mechanisms (2005, result): “…1995, Armstrong et al. 2000, Hagerty et al. 2000, Men et al. 2003, Wu and Guo 2003, Sisterson et al. 2004, Hagerty et al. 2005, Head et al. 2005, Naranjo 2005a, b, Whitehouse et al. 2005), but the results reported here are among the Þrst dealing with changes in plantcanopy and ground-dwelling…”
• Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Function of the Natural Enemy Community (2005, methodology): “Overall, the results suggest that the minor reductions in population density observed for Þve predator taxa in Bt cotton (Naranjo 2005) may hold little ecological relevance, at least with respect to natural biological control of key pests in the western cotton system.”
• Ecological compatibility of GM crops and biological control (2009, unknown): “Similarly, Sisterson et al. (2004) and Naranjo (2005b) noted that predation of several non-target prey species was comparable in Bt-and non-Bt cotton.”
• A Comparison of Arthropod Communities in Transgenic Bt and Conventional Cotton in Australia (2005, result): “Although there are reports of no change in damsel bug numbers in some Bt crops such as corn (Wold et al. 2001), our Þndings are in agreement with Naranjo (2005), who reported a reduction in the number of damselbugs ina5-yr study inBtcotton, asdidDalyand Buntin (2005) in their multi-year study on Bt…”

• Effect of Bacillus thuringiensis Transgenic Corn for Lepidopteran Control on Nontarget Arthropods (2005, background): “Naranjo (2005) and Whitehouse et al. (2005) also found densities of Nabis spp. were lower in Bt cotton, most likely because of reduced availability of lepidopteran prey.”
• A Multiyear, Large-Scale Comparison of Arthropod Populations on Commercially Managed Bt and Non-Bt Cotton Fields (2005, background): “…of three U.S. states (north and south Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina) comparing arthropod populations on commercially managed Bt (Bollgard) and non-Bt (conventional) cotton (see also the papers in this volume by Naranjo 2005a, b, Torres and Ruberson 2005, Whitehouse et al. 2005).”
• Sustainable pest management for cotton production. A review (2011, background): “…diversity of arthropod populations around cotton fields, which is weak but significant in certain cases, has encouraged the pursuit of investigations in this area of whole system impacts (Head et al., 2005; Naranjo, 2005a, b; Torres et al., 2005; Vaissayre et al., 2005; Whitehouse et al., 2005).”
