Popis: As scientists involved in risk assessment of transgenicinsecticidal plants, we are greatly concerned about thepublication by Lo¨vei et al. (2009) implying thatinsect-protected crops based on the Cry proteins ofBacillus thuringiensis may have substantial negativeimpacts on non-target organisms. We believe thatLo¨vei et al. (2009) use inappropriate and unsoundmethods for risk assessment that have led them toreach conclusions that are in conflict with those ofseveral recent comprehensive reviews and meta-analyses (e.g., O’Callaghan et al. 2005; Romeiset al. 2006; Marvier et al. 2007; Wolfenbarger et al.
