Pierre (and others who were interested in this thread recently):
The October, 1996 issue of BioScience (publication of the American
Institute of Biological Sciences), 46(9), page 665-673 has an interesting
article by Maurizio G. Paoletti and David Pimentel.  "Genetic engineering
in agriculture and the environment:  Assessing risks and benetits" has a
very extensive bibliography of more than 100 entries, by my rough estimate.
