Amossé, Henkes (2019) Assessing the effects of plant protection products on enchytraeids under field conditions: test of carbendazim as a toxic reference

According to the Scientific Opinion addressing the state of the science on risk assessment of plant protection products for in-soil organisms (EFSA PPR Panel, 2017), Specific Protection Goal options have been identified for different groups of soil organisms.

Ibrahim et al. (2019) A common issue Wildlife risk assessment supported by population modelling: a case study on potential herbicide effects on common vole populations

Environmental risk assessments ( for pesticides usually require higher tier data for the small herbivorous mammal scenario represented by the vole. Population modelling for a relevant vole species is one way to provide such data. This exemplarily case study conveys all relevant steps conducted in a population modelling application for higher tier ERA within a submission process.

Faupel et al. (2019) Functional endpoints as perspective for the definition of protection goals in regulatory ecotoxicology

The development of guidance documents by EFSA for regulatory ecotoxicology under regulation ( 1107 2009 is lacking by the definition of specific protection goals

Katzschner et al. (2019) Accuracy of GPS tag tracking for wildlife risk assessment relevant field scenarios the current situation

Automatic acquisition of detailed animal movement data via GPS tags is nowadays a common scientific method and is still evolving. The main requirement of monitoring data intended for regulatory risk assessments is the continuous (or at least minute based) recording of the exact position of tagged individuals in the agricultural landscapes.

Jakoby et al. (2019) Designing and conducting mesofauna field studies What should study design consider in terms of sample storage, extraction and detectable differences?

Mesofauna field studies can be conducted as higher tier refinement option. Such studies investigate effects on species composition and abundance at community/population level under realistic exposure conditions

Ludwigs et al. (2019) Calculating realistic long term PT values for wildlife risk assessment insights from telemetry field studies

The current EFSA guidance document (GD) on risk assessment for birds and mammals (2009) assumes, if no specific data are available, that animals feed exclusively on pesticide treated fields.

Hahne et al. (2019) New proposed Residues on Fruits (RUD’s) for frugivorescenarios in EFSA Bird and Mammal Risk Assessment

The Guidance Document on Risk Assessment for Birds and Mammals (EFSA 2009) provides default ‘Residue per unit dose’ or RUD values for food items to be used in wild life risk assessments. Most of these RUD values are based on large numbers of registration relevant residue studies conducted by industry members and provided to EFSA.

Montinaro et al. (2019) Telemetry of sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) in vineyards – Are methods established for terrestrial vertebrate risk assessments effective in recording higher tier data for reptiles?

Habitats bordering vineyards represent primary habitats for reptiles. This taxon can become exposed when foraging between vineyards, where pesticide application is frequent. EFSA (2018) suggests the sand lizard as a focal species to represent other lacertids living in agricultural land.

Laucht et al. (2019) Vole field effect studies for ERA refinement at higher tiers How many voles are enough

The current EFSA bird and mammal guidance 2009 gives advice on how potential adverse effects of pesticides on wild vertebrates can be assessed One option for higher tier assessments is to conduct field effect studies to monitor potential acute or long term effects on small mammal populations using a capture mark recapture design However,

Blanckenhagen, Reichert, Nickisch (2019) Beyond SFO? Residue decline on food in birds & mammals risk assessments

For wildlife risk assessments, the Guidance Document on Risk Assessment for Birds and Mammals (EFSA 2009 provides a default DT 50 of 10 days for food items like arthropods and vegetation. It also offers refinement options for higher tier birds and mammals risk assessments.

Esther et al. (2019) Proposed Indoor Test Procedure to Quantify Pesticide Treatment Effects on Seed Consumption by Birds

Pesticides used in seed coatings can influence seed consumption by birds and, therefore, actual exposure risk for them. A quantification of such effects on consumption is currently not regarded as a refinement factor in environmental risk assessments, although it is a possible option and should be considered, for example, for comparing exposure risk of different pesticides.

Lückmann, Faupel, Ludwigs (2018) ‘Focal species’ – can this well-known concept in higher-tier risk assessments be an appropriate approach for solitary bees?

Bumble bees and solitary bees have to be considered in addition to honey bees regarding environmental pollinator risk assessments. For solitary bees it is proposed to use Osmia cornuta (LATR., 1805) or O. bicornis (L., 1758) as test organisms.
