• Impact of Bt cotton on pesticide poisoning in smallholder agriculture: A panel data analysis (2011, background): “…studies that point at negative environmental externalities of Bt cotton, including unintended effects on nontarget organisms and other ecosystem disruptions, which could undermine the technology's sustainability (Andow and Hilbeck, 2004; Gutierrez et al., 2006; Lu et al., 2010; Pemsl et al., 2008).”
• The impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies: a critical review of laboratory studies (2005, background): “Examples of pseudoreplication in laboratory studies with Chrysoperla carnea are discussed in Andow & Hilbeck (2004).”
• Another View on Bt Proteins - How Specific are They and What Else Might They Do? (2006, background): “The most common Bt toxins expressed by these plants include the lepidopteran-active Cry1Ab in maize (Zea mays L., Poaceae), the lepidopteran-active Cry1Ac in maize and cotton (Gossypium spp., Malvaceae) and the coleopteran-active Cry3Bb in maize (Andow and Hilbeck, 2004).”
• Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “There continues to be debate about the most appropriate approaches to assessing risk to non-target organisms in transgenic crops ([18, 34–37]).”
• Ecological compatibility of GM crops and biological control (2009, unknown): “…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).”
• Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Abundance of Nontarget Arthropod Natural Enemies (2005, background): “Jepson et al. (1994) and Andow and Hilbeck (2004) suggested that the nontarget taxa examined should consistently occupy the crop studied and have the potential for exposure to Bt toxins, either directly or indirectly through trophic interactions.”
• Systemic risks of genetically modified crops: the need for new approaches to risk assessment (2011, background): “emphasise that it is crucial not to rely on standard test species only but to choose test species representative of the agro-ecological environments in which the GM plants will be grown [41,42].”
