During the last years, there has been increasing focus on the environmental effects of genetically modified plants, not only hybridization and gene flow, but also effects on insects. A general overview of possible effects of genetically modified plants on insects is presented. Insects from different levels of the plant food web are included herbivores (pests and non-pests), pollinators, predators/parasitoids and decomposers. Each relationship is illustrated by current research and discussions.
