Overview of all taxa with a mean MDD% ≤ 100 based on the seven recent M/M studies (in which the taxon was present with a mean MDD% ≤ 100). To calculate the mean MDD% (column ‘mean MDD%’), the lowest mean MDD% from the aquatic and the emergence dataset per taxon and study was selected. The highlighted grey lines show the four families_MDD%low that established in more than three of the seven M/M studies. MDD% is the minimum detectable difference in % and families_MDD%low are defined as families per study with a mean MDD% < 70. The column ‘no. of studies’ lists the number of studies with: taxon was present (‘tot’) / mean MDD% ≤ 100 for the respective taxon in the aquatic dataset (‘aq’) / mean MDD% ≤ 100 in the emergence dataset (‘em’). The column ‘i/c’ indicates if a taxon belongs to the taxonomic group insects or crustaceans (1), or to other taxonomic groups (0). Column ‘gt’ shows the generation time [years]. Column ‘s-value’ shows the physiological sensitivity towards pesticides (value displays the relative sensitivity of a taxon in comparison to that of Daphnia magna, expressed as a logarithmic measure, see Von der Ohe and Liess [36], and column ‘SPEAR’ the classification as taxon at risk (1) or not at risk (0) towards pesticides according to the index SPEAR_pesticides [14]
