Model outputs at the insecticide-species-institution level were generated by computing the median of all model iterations. Summary statistics for each unique insecticide and species combination were generated from the mean of institution-level outputs (i.e. the median of all model iterations). The uncertainty around LC estimates was generated from the minimum and maximum (i.e. the range) bioassay-level estimates for each insecticide-species-institution combination. The mortality/OI variability was generated from the mean of institution-level estimates (generated as the median of all model iterations) per insecticide and species. The uncertainty around the variability estimate was provided by the 95% confidence intervals of the variability estimate: if multiple institutions contributed to the estimate for the insecticide-species combination, the minimum and maximum of these values were used to represent uncertainty; if only one institution informed the estimate, the actual 95% CIs around the median estimate are shown. The number of locations is the number of institutions for each combination (even if in the same country)

LC50, LC50 Lethal concentration that kills 50% and 90%, respectively, of the test population

aFor pyriproxyfen, estimates were based on the 50% and 99% oviposition inhibition (OI50 and OI99, respectively)
