Abstract:

Abstract Written in an agricultural context oriented around life and work with domesticated animals, the Bible’s texts, from Genesis 1 onward, endorse a picture of human destiny to farm the land and dominate other living beings. In doing so, the Bible contrasts with the cosmologies of low-domesticating indigenous cultures in privileging domesticating and domestication-like modes of relationship between sentient beings. This is not limited to the Bible’s picture of inter-species human relationships. Rather the paradigm of human domination of other beings is analogous to domestication-like relationships between genders, ethnicities and others that are naturalized in subsequent Biblical and post-Biblical texts. We even see a reflection of domesticating assumptions in the picture, across both Testaments of the Christian Bible, of God as a domesticator-like figure and God’s people as a flock that God protects and requires obedience and sacrifice from.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper describes the distinctive features of cultural back-translation. This term is employed here to refer to the translation of source texts into a target language from which most or all of the culture-specific elements of the source text were drawn. It makes an attempt to provide a systematic analysis of the distinctive features of this type of translation with special reference to the concepts of domestication and foreignization. The findings show that cultural back-translation is necessarily domesticating, or more precisely, re-domesticating. Re-domestication has several types: re-domestication proper, repatriation and additional domestication. Domesticating and foreignizing strategies work out differently in cultural back-translation: domestication does not mean adjustment to a different culture but restoring the original cultural context. In re-domestication the distribution of translation strategies used is different from those used in domestication and the purpose and effects of various strategies are different. The whole process from text composition to back-translation may be described as a process of double domestication. It is claimed that while domestication in general reduces readers’ processing effort by sacrificing some contextual effects, redomestication reduces processing effort and at the same time may increase contextual effects. It is concluded that the study of cultural back-translation is worthy of more serious attention and further lines of inquiry are suggested.

Abstract:

People worldwide hold varied beliefs and mindsets due to different cultural backgrounds. Chinese culture is feathered with Confucianism emphasizing the harmony between man and nature. In contrast, Western culture has the tradition of objectively thinking about the world as a man separated from nature. With the development of globalization, translation is becoming more and more important. In this case, domestication perfectly fulfills gaps caused by civilization differences since the essence of it is to combine local cultures with foreign ones, thus eliminating misunderstandings. However, scholars like Lawrence Venuti strongly oppose this method for the reason that they believe domestication always misleads people by using dominant political opinions. In this paper, researchers mainly focus on the importance of balance in domestication and the possible consequences of excessive domestication. By analyzing several both successful and negative examples of domestication in literary and commercial aspects, researchers want to prove the effectiveness of appropriate domesticating translation. Through the analysis of specific examples, it is able for people to find out secrets of controlling the extends of the usage of domesticating translation by following effective examples and drawbacks and limitations of domestication itself.

Abstract:

All over the world, plant domestication is continually being carried out by local communities to support their needs for food, fibre, medicine, building materials, etc. Using participatory rapid appraisal approach, 150 households were surveyed in 5 villages selected in five ethnic groups of Benin, to investigate the local communities’ motivations for plant domestication and the contributions of this process toin situconservation of genetic resources. The results indicated differences in plant domestication between agroecological zones and among ethnic groups. People in the humid zones give priority to herbs mainly for their leaves while those in dry area prefer trees mostly for their fruits. Local communities were motivated to undertake plant domestication for foods (80% of respondents), medicinal use (40% of respondents), income generation (20% of respondents) and cultural reasons (5% of respondents). 45% of the species recorded are still at early stage in domestication and only 2% are fully domesticated. Eleven factors related to the households surveyed and to the head of the household interviewed affect farmers’ decision making in domesticating plant species. There is gender influence on the domestication: Women are keen in domesticating herbs while men give priority to trees.

Abstract:

This article proposes an extension to domestication theory by introducing the concept of collaborative domestication, which we define as the ongoing mutual influence and interdependence of technology users in specific interactional contexts. This concept arose from our investigation of how patients integrate healthcare-related video consultations into their daily lives. In Denmark, the Covid-19 pandemic has expedited the implementation of video consultations in general practice, yet little is known about their use in this context. To address this, we conducted 13 interviews with patients and analysed the interviews from the perspective of domestication theory. We find that the general practitioner plays a central role throughout patients’ domestication processes, and the doctor–patient relationship significantly influences how patients experience video consultations. We argue that there is a collaborative aspect to domesticating video consultations that needs to be considered in both future studies and the ongoing implementation of video consultations

Abstract:

The presented article examines the notion of domestication as applied in the translation of song lyrics. Since the famous essay Translation, Community, Utopia by Lawrence Venuti, who condemned domestication as a form of cultural appropriation, this technique has generally been under attack despite some mitigating voices, such as that of Krzysztof Hejwowski. And this situation did not change when the new idea of translatorʼs authorship appeared. This article takes the stance of Hejwowskiʼs arguments and tries to apply them in the realm of (mostly melic) song translations, presenting positive and negative features of domestications there. It is meant to show that domestication can be used not only for informative purposes for the reader (as is usually assumed), but also as a creative tool in its own right.

Abstract:

Cotton has been domesticated independently four times for its fiber, but the genomic targets of selection during each domestication event are mostly unknown. Comparative analysis of the transcriptome during cotton fiber development in wild and cultivated materials holds promise for revealing how independent domestications led to the superficially similar modern cotton fiber phenotype in upland (G. hirsutum) and Pima (G. barbadense) cotton cultivars. Here we examined the fiber transcriptomes of both wild and domesticated G. hirsutum and G. barbadense to compare the effects of speciation versus domestication, performing differential gene expression analysis and coexpression network analysis at four developmental timepoints (5, 10, 15, or 20 days after flowering) spanning primary and secondary wall synthesis. These analyses revealed extensive differential expression between species, timepoints, domestication states, and particularly the intersection of domestication and species. Differential expression was higher when comparing domesticated accessions of the two species than between the wild, indicating that domestication had a greater impact on the transcriptome than speciation. Network analysis showed significant interspecific differences in coexpression network topology, module membership, and connectivity. Despite these differences, some modules or module functions were subject to parallel domestication in both species. Taken together, these results indicate that independent domestication led G. hirsutum and G. barbadense down unique pathways but that it also leveraged similar modules of coexpression to arrive at similar domesticated phenotypes.

Abstract:

The domestication of plants and animals is a key transition in human history, and its profound and continuing impacts are the focus of a broad range of transdisciplinary research spanning the physical, biological, and social sciences. Three central aspects of domestication that cut across and unify this diverse array of research perspectives are addressed here. Domestication is defined as a distinctive coevolutionary, mutualistic relationship between domesticator and domesticate and distinguished from related but ultimately different processes of resource management and agriculture. The relative utility of genetic, phenotypic, plastic, and contextual markers of evolving domesticatory relationships is discussed. Causal factors are considered, and two leading explanatory frameworks for initial domestication of plants and animals, one grounded in optimal foraging theory and the other in niche-construction theory, are compared.

Abstract:

The Neolithic Revolution narrative associates early-mid Holocene domestications with the development of agriculture that fueled the rise of late Holocene civilizations. This narrative continues to be influential, even though it has been deconstructed by archaeologists and geneticists in its homeland. To further disentangle domestication from reliance on food production systems, such as agriculture, we revisit definitions of domestication and food production systems, review the late Pleistocene–early Holocene archaeobotanical record, and quantify the use, management and domestication of Neotropical plants to provide insights about the past. Neotropical plant domestication relies on common human behaviors (selection, accumulation and caring) within agroecological systems that focus on individual plants, rather than populations—as is typical of agriculture. The early archaeobotanical record includes numerous perennial and annual species, many of which later became domesticated. Some of this evidence identifies dispersal with probable cultivation, suggesting incipient domestication by 10,000 years ago. Since the Pleistocene, more than 6500, 1206 and 6261 native plant species have been used in Mesoamerica, the Central Andes and lowland South America, respectively. At least 1555, 428 and 742 are managed outside and inside food production systems, and at least 1148, 428 and 600 are cultivated, respectively, suggesting at least incipient domestication. Full native domesticates are more numerous in Mesoamerica (251) than the Andes (124) and the lowlands (45). This synthesis reveals that domestication is more common in the Neotropics than previously recognized and started much earlier than reliance on food production systems. Hundreds of ethnic groups had, and some still have, alternative strategies that do involve domestication, although they do not rely principally on food production systems, such as agriculture.

Abstract:

This thesis addresses a major problem facing any attempt to account for language structure through a cultural mechanism: The processes required by such a mechanism are only possible if we assume the existence of a range of preconditions. These preconditions are not trivial, and themselves require an explanation. In this thesis I address the nature and origin of these preconditions. I approach this topic in three stages. In the first stage, I pull-apart the functioning of one prominent cultural account of language evolution—the Iterated Learning Model —to identify the preconditions it assumes. These preconditions cluster into two main groups. The first concerns the traditional transmission of the communication system. The second relates to the emergence of particular skills of social cognition that make learned symbols and language-like communication a possibility. In the second stage, I turn to comparative evidence, looking for evolutionary analogies that might shed light on the emergence of these preconditions. Two case studies—the Bengalese finch and the domestic dog—are considered in detail, both of which show aspects of one of the preconditions emerging in the context of domestication. In each case I examine what it is about the domestication process that led to this outcome. In the final stage, I consider whether this same context might explain the emergence of these preconditions in humans. The claim that humans are a self-domesticated species has a long history, and is increasingly invoked in contemporary discussions of language evolution. However, it is often unclear exactly what this claim entails. I present a synthesis and critique of a range of empirical and theoretical perspectives on self-domestication. I conclude that human self-domestication is a coherent concept, and that there are several plausible accounts of how it might have occurred. The realisation that humans are a self-domesticated species can, therefore, provide some insight into how a cultural account of language structure might be possible at all.

Abstract:

Les genres Bos et Bison incluent plusieurs lignées de bovins qui rassemblent des espèces domestiques et sauvages dont le plus récent ancêtre commun aurait divergé au Pléistocène inférieur. Afin de reconstruire l'histoire évolutive de ces genres, nous avons mis en place une approche de paléogénomique qui consiste à séquencer l'ADN ancien extrait de restes fossiles de ces différentes lignées bovines, dans le but de reconstruire les séquences génomiques de spécimens du Pléistocène et de l'Holocène. Notre approche a permis la reconstruction de 33 génome mitochondriaux anciens de Bison et de Bos. Une phylogénie mitochondriale des Bovina rassemblant nos anciens génomes et 350 mitogénomes anciens et modernes a permis d'explorer sous un nouvel angle l'histoire évolutive des lignées maternelles de ce clade. Nos résultats montrent une succéssion de vagues de contraction, d'expansion, d'extinction, de migration et de remplacement des différentes populations bovines au cours des 50 000 dernières années
The Bos and Bison genera encompass closely related species, in particular bison, domestic and wild cattle. This group underwent a diversification during the EarlyPleistocene. To trace back the evolutionary processes that lead to the extant Bos and Bison species and to reconstruct ancient genomes, we optimized a paleogenomics approach from fossil remains. To perform efficient and high quality paleogenomic studies, it is important to adapt standard molecular biology protocols to suit the specific need of ancient DNA. Our approach allow us to reconstruct 33 mitogenomes of ancient Bos and Bison. A phylogenetic tree containing 350 ancients and modern Bos and Bison mitogenomes still reveals the polyphyletic structure of the tree but ancient sequences allow for a novel and accurate dating of the various nodes of this tree. Our results show several waves of contraction, expansion, extinction, migration and population replacement of bovids population over the last 50 000 years

Abstract:

Thesis Summary This thesis' primary concern is that of human interaction with entertainment, information and communication technology in the home. Its aim is to explore the situated realities of living with so-called ubiquitous computing technology through the study of an equivalent form of technology - entertainment, information and communication technologies. The thesis explores what entertainment, information and communication technologies are found in the home, how they get there and how they are incorporated into everyday life. The thesis takes an historical and theoretical look at the emergence of the ubiquitous computing paradigm and the growing interest in designing entertainment, information and communication technologies for the home. Through an in-depth qualitative study of five households in the UK conducted during a period of significant life-change, the thesis explores the ad-hoc nature of contemporary home ubiquitous computing environments. Using the conceptual framework of domestication theory as its starting point, the study analyzes the moral, economic, social, material and practical dimensions to owning, using and maintaining an ad-hoc entertainment, information and communication environment using specific empirical examples drawn from ethnographic data. Such an account of technology in the home provides for a necessary and contemporary view of living with ubicomp in the 21 st Century in the UK, a perspective that reveals just how involving (practically, financially and emotionally) living with technologies can actually be. As consumer interest in computing devices for gaming, communicating and information- gathering grows, ubiquitous computing visions articulated in research labs have been slow to understand the generative nature of home technology environments. The thesis provides not only empirical insights that have implications for the design of new ubiquitous computing devices and infrastructures for the home but also argues that a sociological study of the everyday realities of living with technology can provide the . field of ubiquitous computing research with the heuristic tools by which it can understand the everyday 'messiness' of technology appropriation, incorporation and use.

Abstract:

Domestication can serve as a study system of rapid evolutionary change with wide-ranging effects on traits in animals. The chicken was domesticated from the Red Junglefowl and has diverged in behaviour, morphology and life history traits. Conversely, feralisation is a more recent process when domestic animals are again exposed and respond to an environment outside of human husbandry. Linkage-based quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been used to localise genetic variants that affect domestication traits in the chicken genome. Because of the limited resolution of linkage mapping, the QTL regions associated with domestication traits are often broad and contain many genes. One approach to help sort out potential causative genes is to measure gene expression as an intermediary molecular phenotype. In this dissertation, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping of gene expression traits is used to search for potential causative genes for domestication traits in the chicken. Expression quantitative trait loci were mapped across the whole genome in bone and hypothalamus samples, and targeted at QTL regions in the base of the comb. These studies have resulted in candidate quantitative trait genes, supported by genetic and gene expression evidence, for relative comb mass, bone allocation, egg production and fearful behaviour as measured in an open field test. Secondly, a population genomics approach was used to study the molecular basis of feralisation in a free-range feral chicken population from the Pacific island of Kauai. Mitochondrial DNA sequences and phenotypic observations establish the hybrid origin of this population as a mixture of wild and domestic chickens. Genome-wide mapping of pooled heterozygosity highlight regions that may be involved in adaptation to the feral environment. The expression QTL results bring us closer to knowledge about the molecular basis of domestication traits in the chicken, suggesting plausible candidate genes and opening up for functional studies of individual loci. The population genomic study shows that feralisation has a mostly different genomic architecture than domestication, and suggests phenotypic effects, based on overlap with domestication QTL regions, for some of the identified regions.

Abstract:

The domestication of animals is a process of great interest to many scientific fields, including genetics. Differences in coat colour between wild and domesticated animals have been of scientific interest for a long time. Coat colours are easily recognizable phenotypes and so have been studied since the dawn of modern genetics. Many phenotypes that are similar across species have the same genetic basis, but there are numerous exceptions. Similar phenotypes within a species can also have different genetic backgrounds. The progressive advances in genetic research methodology have given new insights into both the molecular basis for coat colours and the history of domestication over the last decades. The variation in coat colours seen today is believed to be caused mainly by human selection. Similarities in morphological changes between different species during domestication, including colour phenotypes such as white spotting, have long been noted. This is known as the domestication syndrome and two major hypotheses for this have been suggested: the neural crest hypothesis and the thyroid hormone hypothesis. This thesis gives an overview of the current knowledge about the genetic basis of coat colours in mammals, the genetic aspects of domestication of animals, and how the two are related.

Abstract:

La domesticación animal es un proceso realmente importante en la historia del hombre en el cual se seleccionaron diferentes rasgos de interés de los animales, como puede ser un crecimiento más rápido o una mayor docilidad. Para estudiar la domesticación a nivel genético es necesario identificar una serie de marcadores relacionados con este proceso evolutivo. Los avances en las tecnologías de secuenciación han mejorado considerablemente la investigación de la genómica de la domesticación, pudiendo determinar los cambios genéticos que causan esa transformación de especie salvaje a doméstica. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es la evaluación del efecto de la domesticación en el genoma del cerdo mediante el análisis de la diversidad genética en poblaciones domésticas y salvajes. En la primera parte se ha realizado un análisis de la diferenciación y del desequilibrio de ligamiento para detectar las diferencias entre cerdos domésticos y salvajes, utilizando la vía metabólica como unidad de análisis. Mediante el estudio de la diferenciación, utilizando el estadístico Fst, obtenemos una serie de rutas significativas relacionadas con el comportamiento y el desarrollo, que fueron algunos de los primeros rasgos seleccionados en cerdo. Sin embargo, al realizar el análisis del desequilibrio, mediante el estadístico nSL, detectamos diferencias en rutas relacionadas con la reproducción del animal, rasgo seleccionado recientemente. Por otro lado, realizamos una red de co-asociación entre todas las vías metabólicas significativamente diferentes entre cerdos domésticos y salvajes, obteniendo 3 clústeres diferenciados, uno relacionado con el crecimiento y la regulación hormonal, otro con el sistema nervioso simpático y el último con la reproducción. En la segunda parte, realizamos un análisis de la fuerza de la selección a nivel genómico en cerdos domésticos y salvajes, utilizando dos poblaciones domésticas, Ibérico y Large White, las cuales son muy diferentes entre ellas. Mientras que Ibérico es una raza autóctona que ha sufrido recientemente una gran reducción del tamaño poblacional, Large White es una raza comercial internacional que ha sido mejorada de manera artificial, además de introgresada con cerdos asiáticos. Para analizar la fuerza de la selección utilizamos el parámetro α, que estima la proporción de sustituciones no-sinónimas que son adaptativas, utilizando cuatro estimadores diferentes de la variabilidad, cada uno enfocado a una parte del espectro de frecuencias: Fu&Li (solo singletons), Watterson (todo el espectro dando más peso a las bajas frecuencias), Tajima (todo el espectro de manera uniforme) y Fay&Wu (incrementa el peso de manera proporcional a la frecuencia). Sin embargo, al analizar los patrones de selección no encontramos más señales comunes entre las razas domesticadas que al compararlas con la salvaje. En cambio, encontramos un mayor efecto de la demografía en la selección, Ibérico tiene una variabilidad muy baja debido a su bajo tamaño poblacional, lo cual se muestra en los patrones de selección obtenidos, que se asemejan a una reducción poblacional; mientras que Large White tiene una mayor variabilidad debido posiblemente a la presencia de alelos asiáticos en su genoma, obteniendo patrones explicados por la presencia tanto de mutaciones deletéreas como beneficiosas, además de una expansión poblacional y/o migración. Por último, hemos desarrollado una aplicación web para poder analizar archivos VCF, la cual puede ayudarnos a identificar posibles errores o sesgos, principalmente relacionados con la cobertura del SNP.
Animal domestication is an important process in the human history in which different traits of the animals were selected, such as faster growth or greater docility. To study domestication at the genetic level it is necessary to identify the markers related to this evolutionary process. Advances in sequencing technologies have improved the investigation of the genomics of domestication, which has allowed to determine the genetic changes that cause this transformation from wild to domestic species. The main goal of this thesis is the evaluation of the domestication effect in the pig genome through the analysis of genetic diversity in domestic and wild populations. In the first part, analyses of differentiation and linkage disequilibrium were performed to detect differences between domestic and wild pigs, using the pathway as the unit of analysis. Through the study of differentiation, using the Fst statistic, we obtained significant pathways related to behavior and development, which were some of the first selected traits in pigs. On the other hand, when performing the disequilibrium analysis, using the nSL statistic, we detected differences in pathways related to the reproduction of the animal, a recently selected trait. Besides, we made a co-association network using all pathways that are significantly different between domestic and wild pigs, obtaining three differentiated clusters, one related to growth and hormonal regulation, another with the sympathetic nervous system and the last with the reproduction. In the second part, we performed an analysis of the strength of selection at the genome level in domestic and wild pigs, using two very different domestic populations, Iberian and Large White. Iberian breed is an autochthonous breed that has recently suffered a strong reduction in the effective population size, Large White is an international commercial breed that has been artificially improved and introgressed with Asian pigs. To analyze the strength of the selection we use the parameter α, which estimates the proportion of non-synonymous substitutions that are adaptive, using four different estimators of variability, each focused on a part of the frequency spectrum: Fu&Li (only singletons), Watterson (whole spectrum giving more weight at low frequencies), Tajima (whole spectrum weighted uniformly) and Fay&Wu (increases the weight proportionally with the frequency). However, when analyzing the selection patterns, we did not find more common signals between the two domestic breeds than between domestic and wild ones. Instead, we found a larger effect of demography on the selection, Iberian has a very low variability due to its low population size, which is shown in the obtained selection patterns, which resemble a population reduction; while Large White has a larger variability, possibly due to the presence of Asian alleles in its genome, obtaining patterns that can be explained by the presence of both deleterious and beneficial mutations, together with a population expansion and/or migration. Finally, we have developed a web-based application to analyze VCF files, which can help identify possible errors or biases, mainly related to the SNP coverage.

Abstract:

Translating culturally specific terms and expressions is often perceived as a challenging practice. This paper explores translating English cultural terms to Kurdish immigrants in the context of the UK public services. The UK government provides information related to public services in different languages for different immigrant communities living in the UK. The information can be in the form of reports, leaflets, brochures, etc., which are produced in different settings such as courts, local councils, hospitals, and so on. Dozens of English-Kurdish translators render such materials to members of the Kurdish community who do not have a good command of English. Following Venuti’s (1995/2008) theory of domestication and foreignization, the paper attempts to identify whether translators adopt a domesticating or a foreignizing strategy when rendering cultural terms found in UK public service materials from English into Kurdish (Sorani). The results reveal that translators use a mixture of both strategies; however, they opt for domestication in the majority of instances. The results also show a lack of consistency in implementing cultural translation procedures among the translators, which points to a need for translation training courses that offer guidelines regarding consistent use of terminology in translating culturally specific terms from English into Kurdish.

Abstract:

1. Abstract: Over the past 25 years, vine cacti of the genera Hylocereus and Selenicereus have been introduced into Israel and southern California as new exotic fruit crops. The importance of these crops lies in their high water use efficiency and horticultural potential as exotic fruit crops. Our collaboration focused on the cytological, molecular and evolutionary aspects of vine cacti polyploidization to confront the agricultural challenge of genetic improvement, ultimately to improve success of vine cacti as commercial fruit crop plants. More specifically, we worked on the: 1- Identification of the putative ancestor(s) of the tetraploid H. megalanthus; 2- Determination of the number of origins of H. megalanthus (single vs. multiple origins of polyploidy); 3- Cytogenetic analysis of BC1 and F1 hybrids; 4- Determination of important agricultural traits and the selection of superior hybrids for cultivation. The plant material used in this study comprised interspecific Hylocereus F1 and first backcross (BC1) hybrids, nine Hylocereus species (58 genotypes), nine Selenicereus species (14 genotypes), and four Epiphyllum genotypes. Two BC1 hexaploids (BC-023 and BC-031) were obtained, a high ploidy level that can be explained only by a fertilization event between one unreduced female gamete from the triploid hybrid and a balanced gamete from the pollen donor, the diploid H. monacanthus. These findings are scientific evidence that support the possibility that “hybridization followed by chromosome doubling” could also occur in nature. Cytomixis, the migration of chromatin between adjacent cells through connecting cytoplasmatic channels, was observed in vine cacti hybrids and may thus imply selective DNA elimination in response to the allopolyploidization process. Evidence from plastid and nrDNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) sequences support the placement of H. megalanthus within a monophyletic Hylocereus group. Furthermore, both plastid and ITS datasets are most consistent with a conclusion that this tetraploid species is an autopolyploid, despite observations that the species appears to be morphologically intermediate between Hylocereus and Selenicereus. Although the possibility of very narrow allopolyploidly (i.e., derivation from parents that are barely diverged from each other such as closely related species in the same genus) cannot be ruled out entirely based on our data (in part due to the unavailability of Hylocereus species considered to be morphologically the closest relatives of H. megalanthus), the possibility of H. megalanthus representing an intergeneric cross (i.e., Hylocereus × Selenicereus) seems extremely unlikely. Interestingly, the process of homogenization of ITS sequences (concerted evolution) is either incomplete or lacking in both Hylocereus and Selenicereus, and the inclusion of several artificial hybrids in the molecular study revealed the potential for biparental plastid inheritance in Hylocereus. The most important agricultural implication of this research project was the information collected for F1 and BC1 hybrids. Specifically, this project concluded with the selection of four superior hybrids in terms of fruit quality and potential yields under extreme high temperatures. These selected hybrids are self-compatible, avoiding the need for hand cross pollination to set fruits, thus reducing manpower costs. We recently offered these hybrids to growers in Israel for prioritized rapid evaluation and characterization.

Abstract:

Animal-associated microbiomes are critical to the well-being and proper functioning of the animal host, but only limited studies have examined in-sect microbiomes across different developmental stages. These studies revealed large shifts in microbiome communities, often because of significant shifts in diet during insects’ life cycle. Establishing insect colonies as model laboratory organisms and understanding how to properly feed and care for animals with complex and dynamic life cycles requires improved data. This study examined laboratory raised green June beetles (Cotinis nitida) captured from the field upon emergence from pupae. Starting with wild-caught adults, two generations of beetles were reared in the laboratory, ending with an entirely laboratory raised generation of larvae. The study compared the microbiomes of each generation and the microbiomes of larvae to adults. This study suggests that a diet of commercial, washed fruit for adults and commercial, packaged, organic alfalfa meal for larvae resulted in depauperate gut microbiome communities. Fermentative yeasts were completely absent in the laboratory-raised adults, and major bacterial population shifts occurred from one generation to the next, coupled with high morbidity and mortality in the laboratory-raised generation. Providing laboratory-raised beetles fresh-collected fruit and the larvae field-harvested detritus may therefore vastly improve their health and survival.

Abstract:

Today in the United States, the notion that ‘the rise of the far right’ poses the greatest threat to democratic values, and by extension, to the nation itself, has slowly entered into common sense. The antecedent of this development is the object of our study. Explored through the prism of what we refer to as the domestication of the War on Terror, this publication adopts and updates the theoretical approach first forwarded in Policing the Crisis: Mugging, the State, the Law and Order (Hall et al. 1978). Drawing on this seminal work, a sequence of three disparate media events are explored as they unfold in the United States in mid-2015: the rise of the Trump campaign; the release of an op-ed in The New York Times warning of a rise in right-wing extremsim; and a mass shooting at a historic African American church in Charleston, South Carolina. By the end of 2015, as these disparate events converge into what we call the public face of the rise of the far right phenomenon, we subsequently turn our attention to its origins in policing and the law in the wake of the global War on Terror and the Great Recession. It is only from there, that we turn our attention to the poltical class struggle as expressed in the rise of 'populism' on the one hand, and the domestication of the War on Terror on the other, and in doing so, attempt to situate the role of the rise of the far right phenomenon within it.
