Comparison of synthetic membranes in the development of an in vitro feeding system for Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
Although artificial feeding models for the poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) most frequently use biological membranes consisting of day-old chick skin, there are ethical considerations associated with the use of skin.

Reappraisal of the Dilution and Amplification Effect Framework: A Case Study in Lyme Disease
The biodiversity–disease relationship posits two hypotheses: the dilution effect (where there's a negative relationship between biodiversity and disease risk) and the amplification effect (where there's a positive relationship). However, the literature has historically treated these hypotheses as either/or, ignoring the potential for a null result.
