“…Similarly to spiders and harvestmen (Řezáč et al 2006), we could not detect any treatment effect on the assemblage of carabid beetles in any of the study fields. Our results are thus congruent with previous findings (Volkmar & Freier 2003;Candolfi et al 2004;Pons et al 2005;Eizaguirre et al 2006;Farinos et al 2008;Balog et al 2011), including those from the Czech Republic. No significant negative effect of Bt maize on carabid beetles, rove beetles, and spiders was found in the study from south-easten part of the Czech Republic (Habuštová et al 2006) nor significant differences between Bt maize and izogenic cultivar were found in the occurrence of aphids, thrips, and predatory bugs (Sehnal et al 2004).…”

“…In most cases, assemblages of epigeal arthropods seemed not to be affected by presence of transgenic Bt maize (Volkmar & Freier 2003;Candolfi et al 2004;Sehnal et al 2004;Habuštová et al 2005Habuštová et al , 2006Pons et al 2005;Eizaguirre et al 2006;Farinos et al 2008;Balog et al 2011; but see Wold et al 2001), and these results were repeated also for Bt cotton and vegetables (Leslie et al 2007;Torres & Ruberson 2007). Indeed, some authors conclude that compared to conventional farming, the use of transgenic plants enhances arthropod biodiversity in crop fields via reduced input of insecticides to the system (Ferry et al 2006;Leslie et al 2007).…”

Kocourek F., Saska P., Řezáč M. (2013): Diversity of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) under three different control strategies against European corn borer in maize. Plant Protect. Sci., 49: 146-153.We compared three control strategies against European corn borer (ostrinia nubilalis Hubner) in maize with respect to carabid beetles, beneficial epigeal arthropods. The impact of the focal treatment (insect resistant Bt maize MON 810) was compared with conventionally farmed and Trichogramma-treated plots at two sites (Prague-Ruzyně and Ivanovice na Hané) in the Czech Republic, replicated in three cropping seasons (2002)(2003)(2004). The sampled assemblages were species-poor. The species were unevenly distributed in terms of their catch size -the communities were dominated by 7 (Ruzyně) or 3 (Ivanovice) species. No differences were found in species richness or species composition between treatments, seasons or sites, suggesting no effect of planting transgenic insect resistant Bt maize MON 810 on the assemblages of carabid beetles in the study fields.

“…Omalium caesum Gravenhorst dominant in Hungary was captured in our study in the grassy ridge and was very abundant in the oak forest. Staphylinid taxocenoses established in orchards of remote countries or in other habitats were not similar to taxocenoses of our study (Pietraszko & DeClercq 1978;Good & Giller 1991;SobolevaDokuchaeva et al 2002;Juen et al 2003;Balog et al 2011). Th is was caused by the presence of species not established in this study or by preference of common species to diff erent habitats.…”

“…Predation was demonstrated for D. canaliculata (Novák 1958;Babenko 1985), D. angustula (Balduf 1935) and congeners of Ocypus (Krooss & Schaefer 1998b;Bonacci et al 2006), Oxytelus (Achiano & Giliomee 2006), Philonthus (Seymour & Campbell 1993), Tachyporus (Balog et al 2011), and Xantholinus (Balduf 1935) while Atheta spp. was shown to switch between adult predation and larval ectoparasitism (Clausen 1940).…”

Honk A., Kocian M., Martinková Z. (2012): Rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in an apple orchard. Plant Protect Sci., 48: 116-122.Many rove beetle (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) species are carnivorous. Despite their positive role in the biological control of agricultural arthropod pests rove beetles are relatively poorly studied in general, and little is known about their habitat associations including their occurrence and seasonal activity in the apple-orchard environment. In 1994, abundance and composition of adult staphylinid taxocenosis was established in a 12-years-old apple orchard at Prague-Ruzyně, and compared with taxocenoses inhabiting nearby grassy ridge, winter wheat field and forest. The staphylinids were collected throughout the vegetation season using unbaited pitfall traps. Staphylinid activity was highest in the apple orchard where 28 species were established in the total sample of 1238 individuals. Dominant species Drusilla canaliculata (F.), Ocypus nero semilanatus Müller, Dinarea angustula (Gyllenhal) and Oxytelus insecatus Gravenhorst together represented 93% of the total sample. The former two species dominated also the taxocenosis of grassy ridge and could disperse to the orchard from surrounding swards. Most established species are polyphagous predators or parasitoids that might contribute to the biological control of some orchard pests.

“…In addition, based on a field study performed in Hungary with maize 59122, Balog et al (2011) reported that the overall assemblage of rove beetles is not significantly affected by plant-produced Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 through their diet. However, the EFSA GMO Panel considers that no conclusions about potential adverse effects of maize 59122 and the Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 proteins it expresses on non-target organisms and the ecosystem services they provide can be drawn from the Pollinators: Honeybees can be exposed to plant-produced Bt-proteins, as they collect, store and consume maize pollen, mainly when alternative pollen sources are scarce.…”

This Scientific Opinion reports on a risk assessment on an application for placing on the market of genetically modified maize 59122 for import and processing for food and feed uses and cultivation. The EFSA GMO Panel considers that maize 59122 is unlikely to have any adverse effect on the environment, except for the possible evolution of resistance to the Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 proteins in coleopteran target pests. The Panel recommends the implementation of appropriate and diversified insect resistance management strategies and case-specific monitoring to delay and monitor the possible evolution of resistance to Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 in coleopteran target pests, respectively. In addition, the Panel recommends revision of the applicants' insect resistance management plan and the proposed post-market environmental monitoring plan. Although maize 59122 is tolerant to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides, the Panel did not assess the potential adverse effects associated with the use of such herbicides on maize 59122, as maize 59122 will not be marketed in the European Union as a herbicide-tolerant crop. This Scientific Opinion updates the previous Panel safety evaluation of the food and feed uses, and import and processing of maize 59122 and derived products. The Panel concludes that the information available for maize 59122 addresses the scientific comments raised by Member States and that maize 59122, as described in this application, is as safe as its conventional counterpart and commercial maize varieties with respect to potential adverse effects on human and animal health. If subjected to appropriate management measures, the cultivation of maize 59122 is unlikely to raise safety concerns for the environment.
