“…EFSA, 2009). Moreover, in the last decades, several publications supported the implementation of more sophisticated models in PPP regulation by providing guidance on good modelling practices (EFSA PPR Panel, 2014), pointing out among many other things the interest of toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) mechanistic models (EFSA PPR Panel, 2018a) or population models for bees (e.g., ApisRAM (EFSA Scientific Committee et al, 2021) or BEEHAVE (EFSA PPR Panel, 2015b)), reptiles and amphibians (EFSA PPR Panel, 2018b) as well as small mammals like common vole (Schmitt et al, 2016) with possible integration of variables at the landscape scale (e.g., ALMaSS model, Animal, Landscape and Man Simulation System, Topping et al, 2003). As a general rule, the ERA of PPP is continuously improving as demonstrated by the EFSA on-going reflection publication (EFSA, 2018).…”
