What mysteries lay in spore: Taxonomy, data, and the internationalization of mycology in Saccardo's Sylloge Fungorum
Italian mycologist Pier Andrea Saccardo is best remembered for his monumental Sylloge Fungorum , the first ‘modern’ effort to compile all identified fungi within a single classification scheme. The existing history of mycology is limited and has primarily focused on developments within England, but this article argues that Saccardo and his collaborators on the Sylloge supported a vital transnational expansion of mycological knowledge exchange and…
Critical Periods in Science and the Science of Critical Periods: Canine Behavior in America
This article offers a canine history of the “critical period” concept, situating its emergence within a growing, interdisciplinary network of canine behavior studies that connected eugenically minded American veterinarians, behavioral geneticists, and dog lovers with large institutional benefactors. These studies established both logistical and conceptual foundations for large‐scale science with dogs while establishing a lingering interdependence…

Pig Mentations: Race and Face in Radiobiology
In the 1950s, Leo K. Bustad and his colleagues at the Hanford “Experimental Animal Farm” began breeding small pigs to study the effects of radiation on human skin. Within a few years, Hanford miniature swine were called a transformative new experimental organism that might replace canines in the laboratory. Weighing around 160 pounds, the same as radiobiology’s “Standard Man,” their skin was white, which was said to make “seeing” radiation damage…
Parroting patriots: Interspecies trauma and becoming-well-together
At a Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in West Los Angeles, traumatised parrots and former soldiers participate in an experimental therapy programme aimed at overcoming the wounds of war and abandonment. Drawing on the work of Giorgio Agamben and Peter Sloterdijk, this article uses the VA parrot therapy programme to develop an interspecies account of trauma in and beyond language that emphasises the dangers of isolation and denaturalisation. L…
How experiments age: Gerontology, beagles, and species projection at Davis
Cold War curiosities about the dangers of radiation generated significant funding for an array of biomedical projects as enticing as they were unpredictable, introducing newly standardized experimental animals into laboratories and a novel merging of scientific disciplines. The desire to understand radiation's effects on human longevity spurred a multi-sited, multi-decade project that subjected beagle dogs to varying degrees of irradiation. One o…
