Softcover reprint of the hardcover 1st edition 1973 Preface The present volume contains papers presented on the occasion of the Ichthyological Symposium on Genetics and Mutagenesis held on October 13 through 15, 1972 at the Biology Institute of the Association for Radia­ tion and Environmental Research in Neuherberg near Munich, Germany. These symposia have been held annually since 1955 by former students of Prof. C. Kosswig and Prof. F. Anders in Hamburg or Giessen. In the last two years attendance has increased beyond the national German basis, but the Neuherberg meeting of fish geneticists was the first that could be called "international", the participants coming from twelve different countries. The organization of this meeting was made possible by the support of the Association for Radiation and Environmental Research, which provided the financial backing; special thanks are due to Min.­ Rat. H. Costa and Dr. R. Wittenzellner. The scientific advice and encouragement of the Director of the Biology Institute, Prof. O. Hug, was also much appreciated, as was the helpful assistance of Dr. B. Betz and Dr. K. Gottel. In addition, I have to thank my colleagues and co­ workers Mdmes. E. Neubner, I.S. Otten, and K. Peters, Messrs. M. Murr and M. Wiestner, and Dr. S. Holzberg for their help in organizing the meeting. Apart from the papers presented at the above symposium, we have in­ cluded some papers by colleagues who were unable to attend the meeting. The contents of this volume may thus be considered 'representative of current research on the genetics and mutagenesis of fish. First there is a historical review indicating the importance of fish in the study of genetics, by Prof. Dr. C. Kosswig, himself one of the founders of ichthyogenetics in a broad sense. Subsequent contributions are arranged according to the main features of ichthyogenetics: sex determination and melanoma formation; mutagenesis; chromosomes and cytol­ ogy; ethology; evolution; and biochemistry. Such an arrangement is, of course artificial, but helpful for locating certain topics. For example, the paper by Holzberg on inherited changes in male aggressiveness in postirradiation generations of convict cichlids could have been placed in either the mutagenesis or the ethology chapter of this book, since aggressiveness is a behavioural trait. Some of the papers give monograph-type summaries of certain areas in fish genetics, while others go into detail, for instance, Kallman's paper on the geographical distribution of homo- and heterogametic females and males within the species, xiphophorus maculatus. Japanese fish geneticists present a preliminary report on sex determination in the germ cells of transplanted gonads as compared to normal gonads of the medaka, Oryzias latipes. Anders and coworkers summarize their recent studies concerning the inheritance and mutagenesis of the regula­ tion system of melanomas in xiphophorin fish. The next chapter deals with mutagenesis in fish, a topic already men­ tioned in the preceding chapter on sex determination and melanoma forma­ tion. Purdom and Woodhead survey genetic and somatic radiation damage in fish, ionizing radiation being the only mutagenetic agent so far used systematically in fish mutagenesis. Egami and Hyodo-Taguchi describe dose­ mutation relationships in dominant lethal mutations after irradiation of either female or male germ cells of the medaka. Purdom and Lincoln discuss radiation-induced gynogenesis in marine flatfish, which can even lead to triploid forms. These results are not merely of theoreti­ cal interest, they also have practical significance, because it is now possible to obtain homozygous strains without several generations of inbreeding. Genetically well-defined strains are a prerequisite for fish breeding. Intensive farming of both sea and freshwater fish is the only way to ensure increased supplies of this important source of animal protein. Exploitation of marine fish alone would soon lead to a complete exhaustion of natural populations and endanger the nutri­ tional basis of the constantly growing human population. My own paper is a short survey of fish mutagenesis with the aim of en­ couraging geneticists to use teleostean fish which have proved an ex­ cellent tool for studying mutagenesis. In the chapter on chromosomes and cytology, Post describes unusual karyo­ types of two species and Scheel deals with the chromosomes of some anuran species. This author's earlier work on chromosomes has been very important in elucidating the evolutionary processes of African cyprinodontiform fish. He is now continuing his work with frogs, so providing more information on the evolution of karyotypes in lower vertebrates. Vielkind et al. describe the incorporation of tritiated thymidine into the DNA of melanotic and amelanotic melanoma explants and the fate of bacterial DNA in embryos of poeciliid fish. Lueken et al. discuss the arrangement of pigment cells in pure-breeding strains and interspecific hybrids of xiphophorin fish. Meske describes the spermatozoa of eels bred to sexual maturity under experimental condi­ tions. The chapter on ethology contains only two contributions. As already mentioned, Holzberg reports his preliminary results on the aggressive­ ness of F2 cichlid males after ancestral irradiation in connection with the male aggressiveness of the precedent generation, whereas Parzefall deals with the sexual behaviour of Poecilia (Mollienesia) sphenops. The chapter on evolution exposes some problems of evolutionary processes in vertebrates. Poeciliid fish are very useful for such studies since they produce fertile inter-specific hybrids. The regressive evolution of cavernicolous forms was investigated by crossing the normal-eyed river fish with its subterristic blind and depigmented derivatives in the Astyanax complex. Stimulated by Kosswig, both Peters and Wilkens success­ fully used these characinid fish as model for the genetics of regressive evolution. Schultz discovered all-female populations which propagate by "hybridogenesis" and was successful in synthesizing an all-female "species" under laboratory conditions, thus justifying his hypothesis on the natural origin of hybridogenetic populations in the Poeciliopsis group of poeciliid fish. Ohno reviews recent results on evolution at the molecular level and explains his now widely accepted view on the conservative nature of selection and the importance of gene duplication and "junk" DNA for evolutionary processes in vertebrates.

    Chapter 35 HAMBURG: Back to the Future: The Centrum fur€ Naturkunde on Its Way Toward Reestablishing a Natural History Museum in Hamburg Matthias Glaubrecht Abstract Comprising today approximately ten million specimens, Hamburg’s zoological collection at the newly established Centrum fur€ Naturkunde (CeNak) goes back to the Naturhistorisches Museum, founded in 1843. It includes several historical collections that originate from the initiative and interest in natural history of civilians, merchandisers, traders, and owners of seagoing vessels. Only in 1891 that these collections were adequately stored and put on display in a then most innovative museum building in the city’s center that soon became one of the largest and most important natural history museums, second only to that in Berlin; it was also the one of its kind with most visitors for five decades. The museum and parts of its dry collections—mostly in entomology, malacology and mammalogy, and those in the exhibition—were destroyed during the “Operation Gomorrha” bombing of Hamburg and the subsequent “Feuersturm” in the morning of 30 July 1943, with the ruins being knocked down in 1951. Other parts, essentially the large alcohol collections and those of birds, have been stored elsewhere during WWII. Since then only provisionally housed the museum and its staff became part of the Universita¨t Hamburg in 1969 and moved into a new building in the early to mid-1970s at its current location. As part of a growing mass university, these collections were long neglected and without substantial means to accomplish this goals, with a small display room opening on 2000 qm in 1984 only.

Bu nedenle ancak o devri yaşamış bu kitapta adı geçen bazı hocaların derslerine, kurslarına iştirak etmiş, bu değerli insanlardan feyz almış bir kişi olarak bazı hatıralarımı, düşüncelerimi ve değerlendirmelerimi kısa bir sunuş yazısının içerisinde ifade etmek isterim. Türkiye ile Almanya arasında çok uzun bir geçmişe dayanan tarihi ilişkiler olmuş, iki ülke ilim, kültür ve sanat konularında birbirlerinden etkilenmişlerdir. 1933 ile 1953 yılları arasındaki devrede Almanya'daki Nasyonal Sosyalizm yönetiminden kaçarak Türkiye'ye sığınan bu değerli bilim, sanat ve kültür insanlarının, o dönemde ve bilhassa 1933 yılında Darülfünun adlı yüksek öğretim kurumunun üniversiteye dönüştürüldüğü aşamada, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin üniversite reformlarında değerli katkıları olmuştur. Bu hocaların değerli katkıları yalnız üniversite ile sınırlı kalmamış, sanat, mimari ve yönetim alanlarında gösterilmiştir. Hocam Fritz Neumark "Zuflucht am Bosporus" (Boğaziçi’ne Sığınanlar) adı altında bu dönemi anlatan bir kitap yazmıştır. Bu tabir, elinizdeki kitapta da geçmektedir. Bu ifade onların minnettarlıklarını yansıtmaktadır. Bu değerli insanlara Atatürk tarafından yapılan davet, onun büyüklüğünün ayrı bir nişanesidir.

  • The Emergence of a New Scientific Discipline in Turkey
    Osmanlı Bilimi Araştırmaları, XVIII/1 (2016): 53-70 THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE IN TURKEY: GENETICS AT ISTANBUL UNIVERSITY AFTER THE 1933 UNIVERSITY REFORM Barışcan Ersöz* At the beginning of the 20th century, the science of heredity made a remarkable progress, and its impact manifested itself first in Western Europe and the United States of America and later in the other parts of the world. In the wake of this progress, genetics has become a primary discipline among the biological sciences. In Turkey, however, studies in genetics started later than in other Western countries. In the context of the establishment of the nation-state in Turkey, during the 1920s and 1930s, the government of the newly founded Turkish Republic initiated a number of structural reforms in higher education and scientific research. The University Reform of 1933 paved the way for the creation of a more organized and institutionalized structure in scientific pursuits. Within this period, numerous German scientists who had left their country due to the rise of Nazism, came to Turkey upon the official invitation of the Turkish government, and greatly contributed both to the inception of scientific research and the education of young scientists in Turkey. Among these German scientists were also geneticists. Some of them were the earliest geneticists being active in Turkey and having contributed to the education of the novice local researchers in this discipline. The period between the implementation of the Atatürk University Reform of 1933 and the 1960s saw the rising of the first two generations of geneticists who contributed to the emergence of genetics as a new scientific discipline in Turkey.

  • Zweites Kapitel
    Flucht - Konsequenz der Geschichte 24 Zweites Kapitel 1 Flucht - Konsequenz der Geschichte Am 30.01.1933 eröffnete die Ernennung Adolf Hitlers zum Kanzler eines Koalitionskabinetts den Weg zur Machtübernahme der NSDAP in Staat und Gesellschaft. Für weite Kreise der deutschen Bevölkerung versprach der Regierungswechsel zunächst Hoffnung auf wirtschaftliche Sicherheit und außenpolitische Stärke. Für Menschen, die aufgrund ihrer Rolle in der Weimarer Republik sich einen Ruf als Gegner des Nationalsozialismus erworben hatten oder intellektuell und rassisch nicht in die nationalsozialistische Ideologie paßten, bedeutete der Machtwechsel hingegen eine akute physische Gefährdung. In den ersten Monaten nach der Machtergreifung wurden willkürlich in erster Linie kommunistische oder sozialdemokratische Parteimitglieder terrorisiert, mißhandelt, in Schutzhaft genommen oder in schnell aufgebauten Konzentrationslagern eingesperrt1. Drohungen, Terror und Brutalität beherrschten den Alltag dieser Menschen. Für die meisten der Gefährdeten gab es zwei Alternativen: Flucht oder das Risiko des Bleibens. Die persönliche Entscheidung zwischen den beiden Alternativen wurde neben der tatsächlichen Lebensbedrohung auch von den nationalsozialistischen Maßnahmen und Gesetzen mitbestimmt, die die Entmündigung kritischer, politisch oder rassisch unerwünschter Menschen bezweckten. Schon ein Tag nach dem Reichstagsbrand2 unterzeichnete Präsident Hindenburg die ’Notverordnung gegen Verrat am deutschen Volk und hochverräterische Umtriebe’; die Verordnung erklärte die “Beschränkungen der 1 Die Ereignisse nach der Machtergreifung erfordern, gerade im Hinblick auf die Forschungsergebnisse der letzten Jahre, eine differenzierte Betrachtungsweise. Auch wenn im Gesamtüberblick über den deutschen Nationalsozialismus die Barbarei an den Juden im Vordergrund bleibt und zu bleiben hat, muß trotzdem festgehalten werden, daß die politische Wirklichkeit nach 1933 in erster Linie und zuerst linke Intellektuelle und Politiker als zu vernichtende Feinde anvisierte und nicht Juden als solche.

The museum director Gerhard von Frankenberg , member of the socialist party (SPD), was fired in 1933. He was replaced by the geneticist Curt Kosswig. Kosswig, however, had major problems with the ruling party and fled to Turkey in 1937. Scientific assistent Wilhelm Koster became temporary direc­ tor. At the beginning of World War II, Koster had to join they army; scientific assistent A dolf Kleinschmidt became his substitute for a few months; then he also joined the German army. In 1940, when both scientists were not available at the museum, Friedrich Berger , the director of the neigh­ boring BERNHARD-RusT-Hochschule for the education of teachers, became director-in-charge and started to build a new exhibition. He employed a private technician who caused a lot of damage in the museum’s scientific collections and exhibition. Wolf Herre , who was asked to assist in the scientific part of the exhibition, managed to dismiss both Berger and the technician. In late 1941, Johannes D urkop of the Braunschweig Ministry of Public Education, took over and became director of the Natu­ ral History Museum. When even D urkop had to join the army in 1944, his substitute, Siegfried Har - dung , became responsible for the museum.
