From: Does the growing of Bt maize change abundance or ecological function of non-target animals compared to the growing of non-GM maize? A systematic review

Fig. 5

Distribution of non-target invertebrate records in the database (experimental design, planting year, years Bt maize, plot/field size, comparison type, insecticides), A experimental design (use of plot designs within a field, split-field designs, or field-to-field comparisons), B year when the field experiment was conducted, C number of years in which Bt maize was cultivated on the same plots as Bt maize in the studied year (not spec.: authors did not state previous crop), D plot size of the replicated units (numbers represent maximal plot sizes in the respective category, e.g., 0.004 means that plots were larger than 0.002 and maximal 0.004 ha), E type of comparison between Bt maize and non-Bt maize (e.g., untreated Bt maize versus insecticide treated non-Bt maize), F insecticide classes and application mechanism in those cases where non-Bt maize was treated with insecticides differently to Bt maize. Within the panels, the number of experiments associated with each bar is given
