Impact of transgenic oilseed rape expressing oryzacystatin-1 (OC-1) and of insecticidal proteins on longevity and digestive enzymes of the solitary bee Osmia bicornis. (2009)
Journal Article
Konrad, R., Connor, M., Ferry, N., Gatehouse, A., & Babendreier, D. (2009). Impact of transgenic oilseed rape expressing oryzacystatin-1 (OC-1) and of insecticidal proteins on longevity and digestive enzymes of the solitary bee Osmia bicornis. Journal of Insect Physiology, 55(4), 305-13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jinsphys.2008.12.007

The risk that insect-resistant transgenic plants may pose for solitary bees was assessed by determining longevity of adult Osmia bicornis (O. rufa) chronically exposed to transgenic oilseed rape expressing oryzacystatin-1 (OC-1) or to the purified in...

Agriculture, innovation and environment (2009)
Book Chapter
Ferry, N., & Gatehouse, A. (2009). Agriculture, innovation and environment. In N. Ferry, & A. Gatehouse (Eds.), Environmental Impact of Genetically Modified Crops. CABI

Approximately 10.3 million farmers in 22 countries grew biotech (genetically modified) crops in 2006. Yet this technology remains one of the most controversial agricultural issues of current times. Many consumer and environmental lobby groups believe... Read More about Agriculture, innovation and environment.

Appropriate analytical methods are necessary to assess nontarget effects of insecticidal proteins in GM crops through meta-analysis (response to Andow et al. 2009) (2009)
Journal Article
Shelton, A., Naranjo, S., Romeis, J., Hellmich, R., Wolt, J., Federici, B., …Bell, H. (2009). Appropriate analytical methods are necessary to assess nontarget effects of insecticidal proteins in GM crops through meta-analysis (response to Andow et al. 2009). Environmental Entomology, 38(6), 1533-1536

As we described in our rebuttal in Transgenic Research
(Shelton et al. 2009), we think that the meta-analysis
approach used by Lo¨ vei et al. (2009) suffers from
important methodological limitations relative to risk
assessment that led them to re... Read More about Appropriate analytical methods are necessary to assess nontarget effects of insecticidal proteins in GM crops through meta-analysis (response to Andow et al. 2009).
