Evaluating the link between predation and pest control services in the mite world
In vitro tests have been confronted with mite inventories and airborne DNA analyses. Three out of seven taxa of native predatory mites are able to feed on Dermanyssus gallinae. The same three predators are associated with the parasite in poultry houses. We've detected no obvious signals from any pest control service.

Beyond medicine: A proof of concept for synergy analysis in ecotoxicology
Abstract Interactive effects among chemicals, such as synergism and antagonism, are increasingly studied in ecotoxicology and environmental research. However, these interactions are often assessed using a biased, point‐wise approach that overlooks dose‐dependent effects.

Biodegradable Polymers for Plant Nutrient Delivery and Recovery
This review article discusses the use of biodegradable polymers to address several grand challenges in agriculture: to improve the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorous to crops, to optimize plant uptake, and to enhance the recovery of these nutrients from wastewater, to recycle them and reduce water pollution. Abstract The current use of fertilizers is
