Der Ursprung Der Säugetiere')
Der Ursprung der Säugetiere) Von EMIL KUHN-SCHNYDER (Zürich) (mit 16 Abbildungen im Text) gDie Form lst der Ausdruck ihrer Funktionen.» O. JAEKEL, 1902, p. 60 1859 erschien DARwrivs Werk: «Über die Entstehung der Arten durch natür- liche Zuchtwahl». DARWIN verknüpfte eine Fülle von Beobachtungen durch eine, grosse Idee: Tier- und Pflanzenarten sind veränderlich. Die heute leben- den Arten sind aus geologisch älteren Arten durch allmähliche Umwand- lung entstanden. Die Entwicklung der Pflanzen- und Tierwelt ist eine Tatsache. Diese Idee zündete wie ein Blitz. Sie war das Stichwort für eine neue, glän- zende Periode der Biologie. Naturgeschichte, statt Naturbeschreibung, wurde zum neuen Inhalt der Forschung. Jetzt hatte es einen Sinn, sich mit der Abstammung der Tiere zu befassen. Und sobald dieses Problem gestellt war, musste die Frage nach der Herkunft der Säugetiere, an deren Spitze der Mensch steht, brennend werden. Von allen Zweigen der Wissenschaft, die im Dunkel der Stammesgeschichte als Führer dienen wollten, erhob anfänglich die Entwicklungsgeschichte am stolzesten ihr Haupt. Galt doch. die Entwicklung eines Tieres vom Ei bis zur Geburt nichts weiter als ein verkürztes Abbild seines Stammbaumes. In der Entwicklungsgeschichte sahen viele nicht nur den Schlüssel zur Lösung aller vergleichend anatomischen Probleme, sondern auch den wahren Lichtträger in der Stammbaumforschung. Wie stand es um die Paläontologie? «Die Paläontologie ist für die Genea- logie-Bestimmung im Tierreich von geringem Wert», lautete eine der Thesen, die ANTON DOHRN 1868 zur Habilitations-Disputation der Universität Jena ein- gereicht hatte (1). Und auch für die Zukunft erhoffte man von der Paläonto- logie nicht viel. Diese ungünstige Prognose kümmerte die Paläontologen wenig. -
Visual Standards and Disciplinary Change (Journal Article)
Hist. Sci., xliii (2005) VISUAL STANDARDS AND DISCIPLINARY CHANGE: NORMAL PLATES, TABLES AND STAGES IN EMBRYOLOGY Nick Hopwood University of Cambridge When I worked in developmental biology between 1986 and 1991 only two books had permanent places on my bench. The first, ‘Maniatis’, was a manual of the molecular cloning methods that our Cambridge laboratory was using to identify genes that specify muscle development in the South African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis. The second was ‘Nieuwkoop and Faber’, a ‘normal table’ that describes Xenopus embryos, one of the half-dozen model systems on which most developmental biol- ogy has been done. I knew the ring-bound recipes of Tom Maniatis et al. inside out, but with its dense morphological descriptions Pieter Nieuwkoop and Job Faber’s Systematical and chronological survey of the development from the fertilized egg till the end of metamorphosis seemed an alien work from a bygone age — it was first published in 1956 — and I read only those few of the 250 pages that give ‘external and internal stage criteria’ through early development. My attention focused instead on the fold-out plates, a series of stippled line drawings that I photocopied and stuck above the bench. By internalizing these images, first encountered in an undergradu- ate practical class, I learned to tell gastrulae from blastulae and neurulae, and then stage 10 ½ early gastrulae from stage 11 mid-gastrulae, and so to see my frogspawn develop in the same way as other people saw theirs. “Embryos”, the Methods sec- tions of our papers reported, “were staged according to Nieuwkoop and Faber”. -
Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty 1868-1939 Volume 1
Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty 1868-1939 Volume 1 Memorial Statements of the Cornell University Faculty The memorial statements contained herein were prepared by the Office of the Dean of the University Faculty of Cornell University to honor its faculty for their service to the university. Gould Colman, proofreader J. Robert Cooke, producer ©2010 Cornell University, Office of the Dean of the University Faculty All Rights Reserved Published by the Internet-First University Press http://ifup.cit.cornell.edu/ Founded by J. Robert Cooke and Kenneth M. King The contents of this volume are openly accessible online at ecommons.library.cornell.edu/handle/1813/17811 Preface The custom of honoring each deceased faculty member through a memorial statement was established in 1868, just after the founding of Cornell University. Annually since 1938, the Office of the Dean of the Faculty has produced a memorial booklet which is sent to the families of the deceased and also filed in the university archives. We are now making the entire collection of memorial statements (1868 through 2009) readily available online and, for convenience, are grouping these by the decade in which the death occurred, assembling the memorials alphabetically within the decade. The Statements for the early years (1868 through 1938, assembled by Dean Cornelius Betten and now enlarged to include the remaining years of the 1930s, are in volume one. Many of these entries also included retirement statements; when available, these follow the companion memorial statement in this book. A CD version has also been created. A few printed archival copies are being bound and stored in the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and in the Rare and Manuscript Collection in Kroch Library. -

ZOC; Bibliography .......................................................... 20s INTRODUCTION. The study of the chondrocranium of Sus is of value not only in assisting us to understand the structure of the adult skull in this form, but also on account of its bearing on the general morphology of the mammalian cranium. Owing to the generalized dentition and the structure of the feet, Sus has becn placed relatively low in the ungulate series. Benee, we would expect many primitive char- acters to be retained in its cartilaginous cranium, and, indeed, this is the fact,
