Schabacker et al. (2014) Focal Bird Species and Risk Assessment Approach for Nonagricultural Grassland Scenarios in Central Europe
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) guideline on risk assessment identifies pesticide exposure scenarios for nontarget wildlife; however, this scheme is not applicable to nonagricultural grassland. For example, different habitats and human utilization on golf courses attract bird communities that differ from those found in agricultural fields with annual crop cycles.

Haaf et al. (2014) Make a BeeCision – Is Insecticidal Activity of a PPP a Criterion to Trigger Laboratory Studies with Non-Apis Bees?
In 2013, under the new EU Regulation 1107/2009, the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) published a new Guidance Document on risk assessment for pollinators (EFSA, 2013). In addition to assessments on honeybees, risk assessments on bumble bees and solitary bees are required.

Dietzen et al. (2013) Focal Species of Birds in European Crops for Higher Tier Pesticide Risk Assessment
Focal species have been defined by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as real species that represent others in a crop resulting from their potential higher level of exposure to pesticides. As such they are the most appropriate species for refining estimates of exposure further, through, for example, radio tracking and dietary studies.

Henn, Erlacher (2012) Highest tier? EPAT analysis in aquatic risk assessment of plant protection products
For standard risk assessment conducted during the EU review of plant protection products (PPP), the concentration of active substances in water bodies adjacent to a single field is calculated using the surface water model FOCUS SWASH.

Gericke, Nekovar, Hörold (2010), Estimation of Application Dates of Plant Protection Products for Environmental Fate Modelling Based on Phenological Stages of Crops
According to the EU directive 91/414/EEC potential environmental concentrations of pesticides have to be assessed with environmental fate models. For the calculation of pesticide concentrations it is necessary to provide an application date which has to match the specific BBCH stage at which the pesticide shall be applied.

Wang, Wolf (2008), A Probabilistic Model for Estimating the Exposure and Effects After Spray Application in Real Landscapes
In current risk assessments for plant protection products applied via spray application, default drift-values are used which are based on a large number of field trials conducted by Ganzelmeier et al. and Rautmann et al.

Wang, Nikolakis, Wolf (2007), Reduction of Unvertainty in Chroni Avian Risk Assessments for Granular Organophosphate-Nematicides by the Use of Field Exposure Data and Probabilistic Risk Evaluation
First tier deterministic chronic avian risk assessments for organophosphate nematicides often indicate a high theoretical long-term risk to birds due to the generally high intrinsic toxicity of these compounds in conjunction with high application rates.

Lückmann, Kaiser, Blankenhagen (2020) Precision farming – consideration of reduced exposure in the pollinator risk assessment
Observed declines in the distribution and abundance of various insect species have moved the topic of biodiversity and the protection of honey bees, an insect species of particular economic interest, into the focus of public attention. This also resulted in an increasing public pressure to reform the European agricultural policy and as part of this to minimise the amount of synthetic plant protection products used.
