An essential prerequisite to safeguard pollinator species is characterisation of the multifaceted diversity of crop pollinators and identification of the drivers of pollinator community changes across biogeographical gradients. The extent to which intensive agriculture is associated with the homogenisation of biological communities at large spatial scales remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated diversity drivers for 644 bee species/morphospecies in 177 commercial apple orchards across 33 countries and four global biogeographical biomes. Our findings reveal significant taxonomic dissimilarity among biogeographical zones. Interestingly, despite this dissimilarity, species from different zones share similar higher-level phylogenetic groups and similar ecological and behavioural traits (i.e. functional traits), likely due to habitat filtering caused by perennial monoculture systems managed intensively for crop production. Honey bee species dominated orchard communities, while other managed/manageable and wild species were collected in lower numbers. Moreover, the presence of herbaceous, uncultivated open areas and organic management practices were associated with increased wild bee diversity. Overall, our study sheds light on the importance of large-scale analyses contributing to the emerging fields of functional and phylogenetic diversity, which can be related to ecosystem function to promote biodiversity as a key asset in agroecosystems in the face of global change pressures.

Genetically modified maize DP41149 x MON 890349 x MON 874119 x DAS-40278-9 was developed by crossing to combine four single events: DP4114, MON 89034, MON 87411 and DAS-40278-9. DP4114 express the Cry1F protein to confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests, the Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1 proteins to confer protection against certain coleopteran pests and PAT protein to confer tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium-containing herbicides. MON 89034 express the Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2 proteins to confer protection against certain lepidopteran pests. MON 87411 express the Cry3Bb1 protein to confer protection against certain coleopteran larvae and the DvSnf7 dsRNA confer protection against western corn rootworm, and the CP4 EPSPS protein for tolerance to glyphosate containing herbicides. DAS-40278-9 express the AAD-1 protein to catalyse the degradation of the general class ofherbicides known as aryloxyphenoxypropionates (AOPP) and to confer tolerance to 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicides.

Bt11 x MIR162 x MIR604 x MON 89034 x 5307 x GA21 was produced by conventional breeding of the GM maize events Bt11, MIR162, MIR604, MON 89034, 5307 and GA21. Accordingly, Bt11 x MIR162 x MIR604 x MON 89034 x 5307 x GA21 maize produces the transgenic proteins in the individual GM maize events (Cry1Ab, PAT, Vip3Aa20, PMI, mCry3A, MIR604 PMI, Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2, eCry3.1Ab and mEPSPS). Event Bt11 maize expresses the insecticidal protein Cry1Ab that protects against feeding damage caused by certain lepidopteran pests and the phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT) protein for weed control by providing tolerance to herbicide products containing glufosinate ammonium. Event MIR162 maize expresses the insecticidal protein Vip3Aa20 that protects against feeding damage caused by certain lepidopteran pests and the PMI protein which enables transformed plant cells to utilise mannose as a primary carbon source and therefore used as a selectable marker in the development of the MIR162 maize. Event MIR604 maize expresses the insecticidal protein mCry3A that protects against feeding damage caused by certain coleopteran pests and the MIR604 PMI protein which enables transformed plant cells to utilise mannose as a primary carbon source and therefore used as a selectable marker in the development of the MIR604 maize. Event MON 89034 maize expresses the insecticidal proteins Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2 that protect against feeding damage caused by certain lepidopteran pests. Event 5307 maize expresses the insecticidal protein eCry3.1Ab that protects against feeding damage caused by certain coleopteran pests and the PMI protein which enables transformed plant cells to utilise mannose as a primary carbon source and therefore used as a selectable marker in the development of the 5307 maize. Event GA21 expresses the double-mutated 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme (mEPSPS) for weed control by providing tolerance to herbicide products containing glyphosate.The scientific documentation provided in the application for genetically modified maize Bt11 x MIR162 x MIR604 x MON 89034 x 5307 x GA21 is adequate for risk assessment, and in accordance with EFSA guidance on risk assessment of genetically modified plants for use in food or feed. The VKM GMO panel does not consider the introduced modifications in maize Bt11 x MIR162 x MIR604 x MON 89034 x 5307 x GA21 to imply potential specific health or environmental risks in Norway, compared to EU-countries The EFSA opinion is adequate also for Norwegian considerations. Therefore, a full risk assessment of maize Bt11 x MIR162 x MIR604 x MON 89034 x 5307 x GA21 was not performed by the VKM GMO Panel.
