  1. 1The highest concentration tested which showed no effect.
  2. 2Adjusted concentration based on protein stability in diet (Table S3), which showed no effect (Table S4).
  3. 3The adjusted concentration for MBB was the same value as for SCR since the two species were tested with the same diet.
  4. 4No growth data (e.g., mean body mass) was generated during Cry1Da_7 spectrum of activity characterization.
  5. 5N/A = not applicable.
