Monarch Bt-corn paper questioned
Article Abstract:
Genetically modified food interests downplay the potential demise of the monarch butterfly. Even though 56% of larvae exposed to GM corn pollen died this article appears to minimize the potential threat of this product. Where dollars are to be made the monarch is expected to take a back seat. The original work was criticized as premature and incomplete. I guess a 56% death rate is not high enough.
