Improving control of duponchelia fovealis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by rooting media related strategies [PDF]
, 2009 Soil-dwelling predatory mites can be very effective as biological control agents against larvae of the lepidopteral pest Duponchelia fovealis. Some growing media were reported to have natural high level and stable populations of predatory mite.

Locking Metastable Topological Domains in Nematic Liquid Crystal Pi Cells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Selective photopolymerization in the presence of a controlled voltage defines permanent director walls that lock‐in metastable bend and twist configurations within nematic liquid crystal Pi cells. Q‐tensor simulations corroborate the experiments, demonstrating the topological state stabilization.

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Additive and interactive effects of pollination and biological pest control on crop yield
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2019 Insect pollination and biological pest control simultaneously influence crop yield, but are often investigated individually. This can lead to under‐ or over‐estimation of the importance of individual services when they interact to affect yield.

Water Oxidation to Hydrogen Peroxide Over a Super‐Aerophilic Graphite Catalyst
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Design of super‐aerophilic graphite catalyst capable of trapping in situ produced oxygen gas on its surface under the electrolyte environment. By so doing, it is able to moderate intermediate species binding, which is critical to enabling the two‐electron water oxidation reaction to hydrogen peroxide.
