The pet trade of native species outside of their natural distributions within Australia is a biosecurity risk by Adam Toomes, Oliver C. Stringham, Stephanie Moncayo, Katherine G. W. Hill, Jacob Maher, Freyja Watters, Sebastian Chekunov, Pablo García‐Díaz, Lewis Mitchell, Joshua V. Ross, Phillip Cassey

“…Abstract The trade of alien species as pets is increasingly recognized as a biosecurity risk due to their intentional and accidental release into the wild. However, pets are often categorized as native or non‐native at a national level, meaning that their presence outside of their native range, yet within their native country, may be an overlooked biosecurity threat. …”

“…IntroductionPentatrichomonas hominis is a conditional pathogen that parasitizes the intestines of vertebrates and has been detected in various wild animals. However, its infection rate in Tibetan antelopes has not been previously studied.MethodsIn this study, 503 fecal samples from Tibetan antelopes were analyzed to determine the prevalence and molecular characteristics of P. hominis.ResultsResults showed that 1.19% (6/503) of the samples tested positive, and although the prevalence was low, this finding underscores the importance of monitoring wild animals population as hosts of zoonotic pathogens. …”

The Hybridity of Popular Culture in The Winter’s Tale by François Laroque

“…The sting of jealousy encourages the Sicilian king to resort to popular phrases and folk traditions, so that the “fabric of his folly” (1.2.424) comes close to the wild absurdities of Autolycus’ ballads. Popular and elite cultures thus appear to be combined and to echo each other in the two apparently antithetical halves of the play.…”

Dispositifs à variables inconnues by Emmanuel Grimaud

“…Rather than an anthropology for design, or an anthropology of design, or a design for anthropology (Murphy, 2016), this article offers a different path: at the boundaries of design, experimenting with a crowd of apparatuses whose variables are unknown, eluding the choice between a “rigid” or “wild” experiment design. In this context, AI and cinema are seen as two historical phases of a single plastic programme that began the day modernists decided that our eyes no longer sufficed, and that we needed to see through “an eye endowed with inhuman analytical properties” (Epstein). …”
