Codling moth granulovirus: a comprehensive review (2008, background): “However, care must be taken with timing of spinosad applications in orchards and other agroecosystems due to its negative effects on certain natural enemies (Williams, Valle, and Vinuela 2003 ; Arthurs et al.”
Effects of spinosad and indoxacarb on survival, development, and reproduction of the multicolored Asian lady beetle (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (2005, background): “By contrast, several parasitic wasps show some sensitivity to spinosad (Williams et al., 2003).”
Using sex pheromone traps in the decision-making process for pesticide application against fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda [Smith] [Lepidoptera: Noctuidae]) larvae in maize (2012, background): “The commercial product comprises molecules – ‘spinosyns’ – which have high insecticidal activity, especially against Lepidoptera (Crouse et al. 2001), but low toxicity to mammals (Bret et al. 1997; Sparks et al. 1998; Yano et al. 2002; Williams et al. 2003).”
Larvicidal Efficiency of Aquatic Predators: A Perspective for Mosquito Biocontrol (2006, background): “This has been shown to be less toxic to birds and mammals (Bret et al. 1997, Breslin et al. 2000), and no adverse effects were detected on predatory insects such as ladybirds, lacewings, big-eyed bugs, or minute pirate bugs (Cooping and Menn 2001, Williams et al. 2003).”
Pesticide selectivity for the insect egg parasitoid Telenomus remus (2010, background): “Although it is sometimes classified as environmentally and toxicologically of reduced risk and usually less harmful to predators, Hymenoptera parasitoids are significantly more susceptible to its effects (Williams et al. 2003).”
