They warn of the dangers of algorithmic monoculture, in which all decisions across a domain are made using a single algorithm.

ABSTRACT It is widely assumed that all games essentially have rules. This paper challenges this apparent truism.

Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to optimize turfgrass growth, reduce management inputs, and potentially mitigate diseases. However, golf course superintendents have reported anecdotal evidence linking increased PGR‐induced phytotoxicity with high populations of lance nematodes (Hoplolaimus galeatus).
