A range extension for the New Guinea gecko Cyrtodactylus arcancus Oliver, Sistrom and Richards 2012 (Squamata: Gekkonidae)
No full textRecognised diversity of geckos in the genus Cyrtodactylus from Melanesia currently stands at over 30 species (Tallowin et al. 2018), of which more than half have been described in the last two decades (Rösler 2001; Rösler et al. 2007; Kraus 2008; Oliver et al. 2012, 2016; Nielsen & Oliver 2017). However, like many other tropical lizards (Meiri et al. 2018) several Melanesian species of Cyrtodactylus remain known from very few specimens and/or have imprecise collection locality data (e.g., Crytodactylus irianjayensis Rösler, 2001 and Cyrtodactylus minor Oliver & Richards, 2012).
Cyrtodactylus arcanus Oliver, Sistrom and Richards, 2012 was hitherto known from only two female specimens held at the Australian Museum that were collected in 1987 from the vicinity of Bundi village (~5.47S, 145.27E: exact locality and altitude unknown) in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. It is morphologically distinct from all other Cyrtodactylus in New Guinea (Oliver et al. 2012). Since its description no additional specimens appear to have been collected or reported in the literature. Accordingly, this species was classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN (Tallowin and Oliver 2015).Full Tex

Evaluation of minor pathogen intramammary infection, susceptibility parameters, and somatic cell counts on the development of new intramammary infections with major mastitis pathogens
No full textMajor mastitis pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and coliforms are usually considered more virulent and damaging to the udder than minor mastitis pathogens such as Corynebacterium spp. and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). The current literature comprises several studies (n=38) detailing analyses with conflicting results as to whether intramammary infections (IMI) with the minor pathogens decrease, increase, or have no effect on the risk of a quarter acquiring a new IMI (NIMI) with a major pathogen. The Canadian Bovine Mastitis Research Network has a large mastitis database derived from a 2-yr data collection on a national cohort of dairy farms, and data from this initiative were used to further investigate the effect of IMI with minor pathogens on the acquisition of new major pathogen infections (defined as a culture-positive quarter sample in a quarter that had been free of that major pathogen in previous samples in the sampling period). Longitudinal milk samplings of clinically normal udders taken over several 6-wk periods as well as samples from cows pre-dry-off and postcalving were used to this end (n=80,397 quarter milk samples). The effects of CNS and Corynebacterium spp. on the major mastitis pathogens Staph. aureus, Strep. uberis, Strep. dysgalactiae, and coliform bacteria (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp.) were investigated using risk ratio analyses and multilevel logistic regression models. Quarter-, cow- and herd-level susceptibility parameters were also evaluated and were able to account for the increased susceptibility that exists within herds, cows and quarters, removing it from estimates for the effects of the minor pathogens. Increased quarter-level susceptibility was associated with increased risk of major pathogen NIMI for all pathogens except the coliforms. Increased somatic cell count was consistently associated with elevated risk of new major pathogen infections, but this was assumed to be a result of low sensitivity of bacteriology to diagnose major pathogen NIMI expediently and accurately. The presence of CNS in the sample 2 samplings before the occurrence of a NIMI increased the odds of experiencing a Staph. aureus NIMI 2.0 times, making the presence of CNS a risk factor for acquiring a Staph. aureus NIMI. Even with this extensive data set, power was insufficient to make a definitive statement about the effect of minor pathogen IMI on the acquisition of major pathogen NIMI. Definitively answering questions of this nature are likely to require an extremely large data set dedicated particularly to minor pathogen presence and NIMI with major pathogens

Repatriation from the universal museum:Iyagbon's mirror as a performance of minor-universals
No full textIn 2020 Mwazulu Diyabanza of the Yanka Nku Panafrican movement demonstratively entered a series of museums in France and Belgium and stole back African art works declairing they had been looted in the first place. This act of counter appropriation sent a wave of responses from legal to artistic around Europe. One of these was orchestrated by Samson Ogiamien and the Onyrikon theatre, which the author joined in the capacity of a collaborating artist and theorist reflecting upon the various modes of counter appropriation (and minor universality) occurring in restitutions around Europe. This chapter describes Iyagbon's Mirror, the performance work that resulted
The Early Byzantine Domed Basilicas of West Asia Minor, An essay in Graphic Reconstruction
No full textThis paper investigates the methodology employed in the recent survey and reconstruction of the major Early Byzantine domed churches of west Asia Minor. This involved both the documentation of construction details as well as their interpretation by reference to coeval monuments elsewhere. Focusing on this methodology, the author explores techniques of graphic recording and the theoretical framework within which parallels with other buildings can inform the work of reconstruction. The detailed examination of two case studies illustrates the way in which seemingly random scraps of testimony were interpreted to provide evidence for the missing superstructure of the churches. These case studies also serve to explore the adaptation of the methodology to sites with different characteristics and help to assess the credibility of the resulting graphic reconstructions
