BMR: Benchmark reference; BM(D/C)L: Benchmark (dose/concentration) lower bound; BM(D/C)U: Benchmark (dose/concentration) upper bound.

^aThe BMCs/BMDs reported are the lowest BMCLs/BMDLs and highest BMCUs/BMDUs from simultaneous dose‐response modelling of two independent experiments with identical study design.

^bNote that exposure was for 6 days followed by a 16‐day observation period.
