Gerlach, Schabacker, Ludwigs (2012) Granivorous birds - Exposure reduction by de-husking behaviour
Granivorous birds of the families Passeridae (sparrows), Fringillidae (finches) and Emberizidae (buntings) are known to de-husk seeds prior to consumption. De-husking is an inhered behavioral trait of these species groups. A specialised beak structure allows the birds to crack seeds and discard the husk (i.e. de-husking) before swallowing the kernel – this was described in detail already by Ziswiler (1965).

Schabacker et al. (2012) Focal Bird Species for Amenity Grassland Risk Assessments
EFSA guidance (EFSA Journal 2009; 7/12) gives a list of crop groups and indicator species for the risk assessment of birds and mammals. For agricultural grasslands such as pastures and meadows, the default focal species given by EFSA are the house sparrow, linnet, pink-footed goose, and yellow wagtail.

Henkes, Henkes (2012) Computer controlled High Gradient Extractor for soil organisms
Soil micro-arthropods, such as Acari and Collembola, are essential components of the soil decomposer system and valuable indicators of soil quality and soil biodiversity. Evaluating the impact of agrochemicals or assessing the risks posed by genetically modified plants (GMOs) on micro-soil organisms is likely to gain more importance in the future.

Körner et al. (2012) Relevant Lizard Species for the Risk Assessment of Plant Protection Products in Northern and Central Europe
According to the new data requirements under the EU regulation 1107/2009, reptiles come into question regarding risk assessments of plant protection products (PPP). Although no specific data requirements on reptiles are stipulated in the respective EU documents (e.g. SANCO 11802/2010/rev July 2010) some toxicity data are available in the open literature. These data are intended to be used in the risk assessment.
