Abstract

• Transgenic corn Crops (including the Bt variety) are expanding rapidly worldwide, and the large amounts of cultural residues remaining after harvest pose questions about the fate of this novel source of plant detritus in soil. To verily whether transgenic and conventional corn litters were different in their isotopic signatures, the C-13 and N-15 stable isotopes of different portions of Bt and non-Bt Aristis corn plants after harvest were analysed. Laboratory feeding experiments were then conducted to assess the transfer of corn isotopic signals to detritivores using the isopod Trachelipus sp, reared on either Bt or non-Bt corn dead leaves as the only food source. delta N-15 differed significantly between Bt and non-Bt corn in kernels and sterns, whereas both delta N-15 and delta C-13 were different in leaves before and after exposure to isopods. During feeding, the N and C isotopic signatures of' isopods shifted towards the diet values. Significant differences existed both between sampling dates and corn treatments. The results suggest that detritus from transgenic and conventional corn crops may have different isotopic signatures and the isotopic differences can persist through the trophic levels, making corn detritus feeders suitable sentinel species for the Bt corn isotopic signal in agroecosystems.
