Bey dem Scharfsinn unserer Uebersetzer, und bey ihrer rühmlichen Aufmerksamkeit auf alles, was zum Vergnügen und zum Unterricht der Teutschen auch nur das geringste beytragen kann, scheint es würklich etwas sonderbar, daß man ein Buch, welches viel Vergnügen und Unterricht gewährt, so lange hat ruhen lassen. Es enthält die kühnsten und treflichsten Erdichtungen einer morgenländischen Nation, deren feurige Einbildungskraft berühmt ist, und wird seit sechszig Jahren und darüber, solange wirs in Europa kennen, von allen, die ihren Geschmack verfeinert oder wenigstens nicht verderbt haben, geschätzt und bewundert. Ich meine die arabischen Erzählungen, unter dem Titel: Die tausend und eine Nacht: wovon die französische Uebersetzung des Herrn Anton Galland, Mitglieds der Akademie der schönen Wissenschaften zu Paris, in den Jahren 1704 bis 1717, in zwölf kleinen Bänden erschien. (zitiert S. 160)
So kündigte Johann Heinrich Voß 1781 seine Übersetzung aus dem Französischen an, die 1781 bis 1785 in sechs Bänden bei dem Verleger Johann Heinrich Cramer in Bremen erschien und dann ganz der Vergessenheit anheim fallen sollte. Erstaunlicherweise hat sie Voß selber später geradezu verleugnet, sie errang nur bescheidene Resonanz, in der Forschung wird sie kaum und wenn doch, dann nur abwertend als vermeintlich minderwertige Auftragsarbeit genannt, deren Qualität auffallend von Voß' originalgetreuen Übersetzungen aus den antiken Sprachen, vor allem von seiner epochemachenden Homer-Übersetzung, absteche. Dabei schloß man sich ohne Kenntnis des Textes Gottfried August Bürgers Urteil an, Galland habe „morgenländische Goldbarren in französische Klapper- und Scheidemünze umgewechselt“ (zitiert S. 32), ohne zu bedenken, daß Bürgers Verdikt sich aus der Tatsache erklärt, daß er selber eine Übersetzung plante, der Voß als sein erfolgreicher Konkurrent zuvorgekommen war.
Laurenz Lütteken / Gerhard Splitt (Hgg.), Metastasio im Deutschland der Aufklärung. Bericht über das Symposium Potsdam 1999. 2002

Published: December 2007

Pietro Metastasio (1698–1782), kaiserlicher Hofpoet in Wien, prägte mit seinen Libretti die Operngeschichte des 18. Jahrhunderts wie kein anderer Dichter seiner Zeit. Seine Werke wurden in ganz Europa gespielt:
Grob geschätzt haben mindestens 300 Komponisten seine Werke vertont – einige bis zu 15 seiner Drammi, so daß man auf etwa 1500 unterschiedliche Kompositionen der Operntexte Metastasios kommt – ohne Berücksichtigung der allein für Deutschland nachweisbaren mindestens 200 deutschsprachigen Übersetzungen oder Bearbeitungen für das reine Sprechtheater und die Schulbühnen […]. Das ist eine ungeheure Rezeption, derentwegen allein Metastasio einen herausragenden Platz in der deutschen Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte verdiente.
Diese überwältigende zeitgenössische Rezeption wurde bislang von der Forschung in Deutschland vernachlässigt, da sich Musikwissenschaftler in der Regel wenig um Libretti und Germanisten selten um fremdsprachige Texte kümmern. Der vorliegende Band, in dem Aufsätze von Musik- und Literaturwissenschaftlern versammelt sind, stellt somit einen verdienstvollen Versuch dar, diese Forschungslücke zu schließen.
Yucatán seaweeds from the offshore waters of Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Authors: Mendoza-González A. Catalina , Mateo-Cid Luz Elena , Searles Richard B. 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
Seaweeds in the offshore waters of Isla Mujeres, in the western Caribbean Sea on the east coast of the Yucatán peninsula, were sampled using SCUBA. Three species of Cyanophyta, 90 Rhodophyta, 21 Ochrophyta and 41 Chlorophyta were identified. New records and earlier accounts of the shallow-water flora around the island indicate a rich flora of 400 taxa. Five localities around the island were sampled and each had a distinctive community of seaweeds. Over two-thirds (104) of the 155 taxa identified were present at only one of the five localities, and only one species was present in all five localities.
Dictyota dolabellana sp. nov. (Dictyotaceae, Phaeophyceae) based on morphological and chemical data
Authors: Campos De Paula Joel , Bomeny Bueno Ludmila , Christina de Palmer Paixão Frugulhetti Izabel , Yoneshigue-Valentin Yocie , Laneuville Teixeira Valéria 
Published: December 2007

Abstract

Dictyota dolabellana De Paula, Yoneshigue-Valentin et Teixeira is a new species of Dictyotaceae from the South Atlantic Ocean and the first denticulate species in which dolabellane diterpenes have been found. The major compound found in this species is the 4-hydroxy-7,8-epoxy-2-dolabellene. Until now, all populations of thalli containing dolabellane diterpenes had smooth margins and all species with denticulate margins produced prenylated guaiane and xeniane diterpenes. In addition, Dictyota dolabellana differs from other species by the presence of an inconspicuous denticulation irregularly located in the central to upper portions of the frond. Morphological and chemical data and comparison with type materials of other species clearly indicate the presence of a new species.
Rostrupiella danica gen. et sp. nov., a Lulworthia-like marine lignicolous species from Denmark and the USA
Authors: Koch Jørgen , Pang Ka-Lai , Jones E.B. Gareth 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
A Lulworthia-like species with affinities to Lulworthia opaca (=Halophiobolus opacus) and L. longirostris (=H. longirostris) was discovered on driftwood collected along the Danish coast and from the northwestern coast of the USA. Examination of the type material of L. opaca and L. longirostris leads to the conclusion that the two species are different at the generic level. Lulworthia longirostris shares several characters in common with the Lulworthia-like species collected in Denmark. A detailed study of the Lulworthia-like species has provided evidence for the erection of a new genus Rostrupiella to accommodate it. The new taxon is characterised by large ascomata that are deeply seated within the wood, with long necks extending through the wood to the surface, a bell-like structure protruding into the centrum, large, melanised bladder cells present in the wood cells and formation of inhibition zones in the host tissue. Partial nuclear LSU ribosomal RNA gene of Rostrupiella was sequenced to determine its phylogenetic relationship with other genera in the Lulworthiales.

Published: December 2007

Abstract
We studied the chemical structure and yield of low-molecular-mass carbohydrates (LMMC) and soluble polysaccharides produced by green and red morphs of Gracilaria domingensis. Red plants had higher amounts of the LMMC floridoside than green morphs (324.4±8.1 and 220.1±6.0 μmol g-1 dry biomass, respectively). The yield of polysaccharides was similar between morphs (46.3±5.8% for the red and 41.4±8.3% for the green) as was the monosaccharide composition. The same agaran (6-O-methylated and sulphated) was isolated from both morphs, as determined by 13C NMR spectroscopy analysis. The floridean starch content (mg g-1 dry biomass) for the green morphs (116.2±1.7) was lower than that of the red morphs (143.9±1.8). This study showed that green and red morphs of G. domingensis are similar in their polysaccharide composition, but differ in the short-term storage compounds, starch and floridoside. These differences may be related to light and shade photosynthetic strategies, which lead to different storage accumulation.
Introductions of seaweeds: accidental transfer pathways and mechanisms
Authors: Hewitt Chad L. , Campbell Marnie L. , Schaffelke Britta 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
Macroalgae are a significant component of historic and modern invasions, with association to a wide variety of transport mechanisms. These transport mechanisms pose specific constraints on the ways by which species can be taken up, transported and released into a new environment. Currently operating transport mechanisms for marine macroalgae are either associations with intentional introductions (translocations for aquaculture, aquarium or live seafood trade) or accidental introductions (mainly as hull-fouling). A number of potential management options exist, including the development of international instruments and regional agreements. The development of treatment options for hull fouling, the most significant and poorly managed transport mechanism for macroalgae, is of urgent need. Our current ability to identify which species are likely to invade next is limited. However, an examination of the synergies between species' functional traits, transport constraints, and recipient community attributes will likely provide possible options in the future.
Intentional introductions of commercially harvested alien seaweeds
Authors: Pickering Timothy D. , Skelton Posa , Sulu Reuben J. 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
The two main drivers for intentional introductions of commercial macroalgae are (1) increasing global demand for macroalgae and macroalgal products, and (2) increasing need for alternative and sustainable livelihoods among coastal communities in less-developed countries (particularly to reduce degradation of coral reefs) and in the less-developed rural areas of more-developed countries. The macroalgal species that form the basis for commercial aquaculture (mainly Saccharina japonica (J.E. Areschoug) C.E. Lane, C. Mayes, Druehl et G.W. Saunders, Porphyra species, Undaria pinnatifida, Kappaphycus alvarezii, and Gracilaria species) are thus the ones most likely to be intentionally introduced to other places. The highest-profile cases of “invasive” macroalgae have mainly resulted from unintentional introductions, particularly via shipping. Two cases are species important commercially for aquaculture, U. pinnatifida and K. alvarezii, although the global spread of U. pinnatifida beyond Asia has been caused mainly by shipping. K. alvarezii has been intentionally introduced to many countries for aquaculture and has been reported as invasive in one locality in Hawaii; however, more recently it has emerged that Eucheuma denticulatum is in fact the main culprit at this locality. While environmental problems from intentional introductions have been few compared with those from unintentional introductions, it does not appear that commercial species are, as a group, inherently any more or less risk-prone than most unintentionally introduced species. Only a minority of alien species may ever become invasive, but it is difficult to predict which will become pests. In principle, international norms allow states to intentionally introduce exotic species for commercial purposes, provided that environmental threats can be avoided. In practice, the burden of proof and duty of care about environmental threats and protection of biodiversity is nowadays much higher than before. States cannot take it for granted that alien species may be introduced; new proposals should follow formal risk assessment and monitoring processes that are science-based, and should be strongly justifiable in terms of ability to provide expected economic benefits.
Mechanisms of invasions: can the recipient community influence invasion rates?
Authors: Dunstan Piers K. , Johnson Craig R. 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
At least since Elton's work in the 1950s it has been argued that properties of recipient communities influence invasion rates. The widespread view, initiated by Elton and later supported by both empirical and modelling studies, is that species-rich communities are more resistant to invasion than species-poor communities in otherwise identical habitats. However, the dynamics of some empirical systems do not support this idea, but reveal instead a positive relationship between species richness and invasion, reflecting the particular attributes of component species and their interactions. These findings cannot be explained solely by Shea and Chesson's (2002) attempt to reconcile divergent observations of both positive and negative relationships between invasion rates and richness of the recipient community. Here, based on the behaviours of several models, we develop an alternative view that invasion success is related positively to variability in resource availability. This variability can arise in many ways, dependent in part on the life history features of component species, the nature of interactions among species, and the spatial arrangement of individuals on a landscape. Our overall conclusion is that the ability of a community to resist the establishment of new populations comes not from species richness, diversity or the average connectivity of the system per se, but from the ability of established species to utilise the maximum amount of resources in the long term and realise the smallest amount of variability in resource availability. We argue that seaweed communities adhere to this principle.
Control of invasive seaweeds
Authors: Anderson Lars W.J. 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
Seaweeds have invaded ecosystems along the coasts of many countries where they can displace native algae and seagrasses, reduce biodiversity and impair habitat of fish and invertebrates. The most widespread and notorious cases have been introductions of Caulerpa taxifolia, which now infests over 20,000 ha of Mediterranean subtidal zones. Few attempts to control seaweed invasions have been successful, due to often harsh and highly variable physical conditions in marine environments, and the lack of efficacious methods. Use of heat, copper, chlorine, salt, freshwater and various mechanical (removal) approaches have been successful in reducing or eradicating some infestations. Biological control by herbivorous mollusks and sea urchins has been investigated, but has yet to result in any operational programs. Nutrient inputs from near-shore sources have exacerbated the spread of some species (e.g., off the Florida coast). To counter the increase in seaweed introductions and the spread of these species, it will be useful to adapt, where feasible, methods that have proven successful in controlling freshwater weeds. New methods will need to be developed as well. This will require better communication among researchers and managers working to reduce introductions and negative impacts of these seaweeds.
Seaweed invasions: conclusions and future directions
Authors: Johnson Craig R. 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
In the introduction of this special issue of Botanica Marina, we established the scope of this topic around a series of questions, which also provided a framework for integrating the different contributions and a means of highlighting deficiencies in knowledge and understanding (Johnson and Chapman 2007). In defining challenges for the future and suggesting how those challenges might best be tackled to optimize returns on research investment, it is useful to revisit those questions under four main headings dealing with species introductions per se, the invasion process, consequences of invasions and human responses to the threat and occurrence of invasion.
Building the Mississippi Digital Library

Published: December 2007

AbstractThe Mississippi Digital Library was founded in 2003 with the help of an Institute of Museum and Library Services grant to develop the framework to support a lasting cooperative digital library program for the state. This pilot phase is a joint venture between Delta State University, Jackson State University, Tougaloo College, The Mississippi Department of Archives and History, The University of Mississippi, and The University of Southern Mississippi; it focuses on Civil Rights era materials of national intellectual and educational value. The Mississippi Digital Library is providing leadership in a cutting-edge field by creating an alternative model for digital collaboration and by continuing to develop a mechanism for resolving intellectual property and privacy rights issues for 20th century collections.
The Reacquisition of Biotin Prototrophy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Involved Horizontal Gene Transfer, Gene Duplication and Gene Clustering
Authors: Hall Charles , Dietrich Fred S 
Published: December 2007

Abstract
The synthesis of biotin, a vitamin required for many carboxylation reactions, is a variable trait in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Many S. cerevisiae strains, including common laboratory strains, contain only a partial biotin synthesis pathway. We here report the identification of the first step necessary for the biotin synthesis pathway in S. cerevisiae. The biotin auxotroph strain S288c was able to grow on media lacking biotin when BIO1 and the known biotin synthesis gene BIO6 were introduced together on a plasmid vector. BIO1 is a paralog of YJR154W, a gene of unknown function and adjacent to BIO6. The nature of BIO1 illuminates the remarkable evolutionary history of the biotin biosynthesis pathway in S. cerevisiae. This pathway appears to have been lost in an ancestor of S. cerevisiae and subsequently rebuilt by a combination of horizontal gene transfer and gene duplication followed by neofunctionalization. Unusually, for S. cerevisiae, most of the genes required for biotin synthesis in S. cerevisiae are grouped in two subtelomeric gene clusters. The BIO1–BIO6 functional cluster is an example of a cluster of genes of “dispensable function,” one of the few categories of genes in S. cerevisiae that are positionally clustered.

AbstractA consensus microsatellite-based linkage map of the turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) was constructed from two unrelated families. The mapping panel was derived from a gynogenetic family of 96 haploid embryos and a biparental diploid family of 85 full-sib progeny with known linkage phase. A total of 242 microsatellites were mapped in 26 linkage groups, six markers remaining unlinked. The consensus map length was 1343.2 cM, with an average distance between markers of 6.5 ± 0.5 cM. Similar length of female and male maps was evidenced. However, the mean recombination at common intervals throughout the genome revealed significant differences between sexes, ∼1.6 times higher in the female than in the male. The comparison of turbot microsatellite flanking sequences against the Tetraodon nigroviridis genome revealed 55 significant matches, with a mean length of 102 bp and high sequence similarity (81–100%). The comparative mapping revealed significant syntenic regions among fish species. This study represents the first linkage map in the turbot, one of the most important flatfish in European aquaculture. This map will be suitable for QTL identification of productive traits in this species and for further evolutionary studies in fish and vertebrate species.
Investigation of the Demographic and Selective Forces Shaping the Nucleotide Diversity of Genes Involved in Nod Factor Signaling in Medicago truncatula

Published: December 2007

Abstract
Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are able to trigger root deformation in their Fabaceae host plants, allowing their intracellular accommodation. They do so by delivering molecules called Nod factors. We analyzed the patterns of nucleotide polymorphism of five genes controlling early Nod factor perception and signaling in the Fabaceae Medicago truncatula to understand the selective forces shaping the evolution of these genes. We used 30 M. truncatula genotypes sampled in a genetically homogeneous region of the species distribution range. We first sequenced 24 independent loci and detected a genomewide departure from the hypothesis of neutrality and demographic equilibrium that suggests a population expansion. These data were used to estimate parameters of a simple demographic model incorporating population expansion. The selective neutrality of genes controlling Nod factor perception was then examined using a combination of two complementary neutrality tests, Tajima's D and Fay and Wu's standardized H. The joint distribution of D and H expected under neutrality was obtained under the fitted population expansion model. Only the gene DMI1, which is expected to regulate the downstream signal, shows a pattern consistent with a putative selective event. In contrast, the receptor-encoding genes NFP and NORK show no significant signatures of selection. Among the genes that we analyzed, only DMI1 should be viewed as a candidate for adaptation in the recent history of M. truncatula.
Inferring Human Population Sizes, Divergence Times and Rates of Gene Flow From Mitochondrial, X and Y Chromosome Resequencing Data

Published: December 2007

AbstractWe estimate parameters of a general isolation-with-migration model using resequence data from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the Y chromosome, and two loci on the X chromosome in samples of 25–50 individuals from each of 10 human populations. Application of a coalescent-based Markov chain Monte Carlo technique allows simultaneous inference of divergence times, rates of gene flow, as well as changes in effective population size. Results from comparisons between sub-Saharan African and Eurasian populations estimate that 1500 individuals founded the ancestral Eurasian population ∼40 thousand years ago (KYA). Furthermore, these small Eurasian founding populations appear to have grown much more dramatically than either African or Oceanian populations. Analyses of sub-Saharan African populations provide little evidence for a history of population bottlenecks and suggest that they began diverging from one another upward of 50 KYA. We surmise that ancestral African populations had already been geographically structured prior to the founding of ancestral Eurasian populations. African populations are shown to experience low levels of mitochondrial DNA gene flow, but high levels of Y chromosome gene flow. In particular, Y chromosome gene flow appears to be asymmetric, i.e., from the Bantu-speaking population into other African populations. Conversely, mitochondrial gene flow is more extensive between non-African populations, but appears to be absent between European and Asian populations.
