Impact of farm-scale Bt maize on abundance of predatory arthropods in Spain (2005, background): “)]; their abundance was similar in all treatments, despite the higher density of aphids recorded in Bt maize early in the growing season (Lumbierres et al., 2004).”
Impact of transgenic cotton plants on a non‐target pest, Aphis gossypii Glover (2005, background): “Belén et al. (2004) reported that there was a beneficial effect of Bt maize on settlement of Rhopalosiphum padi, and the developmental and pre-reproductive times of the offspring of the first generation of alatae were shorter and the rm higher on the Bt maize, but no differences were found between…”
Abundance of non-target pests in transgenic Bt-maize: A farm scale study (2005, background): “Lumbierres et al. (2004) suggest that pleiotropic effects (visual or olfactory cues, or changes in physical characteristics) may make Bt plants more attractive for R. padi and account for the higher abundance during alate settlement and reproduction, although this hypothesis needs to be tested.”
