Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Abundance of Nontarget Arthropod Natural Enemies (2005, background): “…to other organisms, food safety, loss of susceptibility to Bt toxins in target pests, disruption of ecosystem processes, and direct or indirect effects on nontarget organisms and biodiversity (Cannon 2000, Wolfenbarger and Phifer 2000, Marvier 2001, Shelton et al. 2002, Conner et al. 2003).”
Abundance of non-target pests in transgenic Bt-maize: A farm scale study (2005, background): “One of the primary ecological concerns of growing Bt plants is the possible effect it may have on the non-target organisms (Conner et al., 2003).”
Transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and biological control (2006, background): “Detailed analysis of any potential effects of transgenic crops on the environment and human health is crucial before commercial releas”
The impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies: a critical review of laboratory studies (2005, background): “Previous reviews of empirical research have been varied, some only considering the ecological impacts of narrower or broader sense; others (Dale et al., 2002; Conner et al., 2003) aiming to be wider, also including economic, legal, and ethical aspects.”
Development, yield, grain moisture and nitrogen uptake of Bt corn hybrids and their conventional near-isolines (2005, background): “There are also other environmental concerns of potential risks of transgenic hybrids such as effects on biodiversity and presence of genetically modified materials on other products (Garcia et al., 1998; Scriber, 2001; Conner et al., 2003).”
Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Function of the Natural Enemy Community (2005, background): “…horizontal transfer of transgenes to other organisms, food safety, loss of susceptibility to Bt toxins in target pests, and direct or indirect effects on nontarget organisms including the soil biota (Cannon 2000, Wolfenbarger and Philer 2000, Marvier 2001, Shelton et al. 2002, Conner et al. 2003).”
Transgenic Bt cotton has no apparent effect on enzymatic activities or functional diversity of microbial communities in rhizosphere soil (2006, neutral): “Foreign genes from transgenic plants may introgress to other organisms resulting in potential changes in their invasiveness in natural and agricultural ecosystems (Conner et al. 2003), thus increasing the risk of turning harmless organisms into species that may be harmful to the ecosystem and diffic”
Globalization, harmonization, and competition: the different pathways to policy convergence (2005, background): “However, there are concerns about whether transgenic crops would cross-pollinate with neighboring crops, overwhelming indigenous flora and fauna and reducing biodiversity (Conner et al. 2003).”
Arthropod Abundance and Diversity in Bt and Non-Bt Cotton Fields (2004, background): “This has raised the issue of whether widespread adoption of Bt crops reduces arthropod abundance and diversity (Schuler et al. 1999, Obrycki et al. 2001, Tabashnik et al. 2001, Groot and Dicke 2002, Conner et al. 2003, Carrière et al. 2004).”
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED ORGANISMS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: CURRENT STATUS AND RECOMMENDATIONS1 (2005, background): “Other broad reviews of this topic include Rissler and Mellon (1996), Snow and MoranPalma (1997), Ammann et al. (1999), the National Research Council (e.g., 2000; 2002a,b; 2004), CAST (2002), Dale et al. (2002), Letourneau and Burrows (2002), and Conner et al. (2003).”
Biosafety education relevant to genetically engineered crops for academic and non-academic stakeholders in East Africa (2009, background): “Potential effects of transgenes on invasiveness of a crop or native species depends on presence of compatible native relatives to which gene flow could occur and the resultant impact of the new gene (Conner et al. 2003; Snow et al. 2005).”
Assessing the risks of insect resistant transgenic plants on entomophagous arthropods Bt-maize expressing Cry1Ab as a case study (2003, background): “, 2003), it is often debated what and how to measure (Conner et al., 2003).”
An overview of general features of risk assessments of genetically modified crops (2008, background): “Therefore, it was concluded that these GM crops are no more likely to become weeds outside farming situations than crop cultivars have in the past (Royal Society of Canada 2001; Conner et al. 2003).”
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]).”
