Sommario/riassunto |
|
The second part of volume 6 discusses sexual selection of ultraviolet and structural signals; melanins and carotenoids as feather colorants and signals; sexual selection and auditory signaling; odors and chemical signaling; sexual dimorphism; sexual selection, signal selection and the handicap principle; courtship and copulation; sexual conflict and its implications for fitness; intra- and extra-pair paternity; parental care (including cooperative breeding); brood parasitism in birds; applications of reproductive biology to bird conservation and population management; embryogenesis and development; molecular genetics of avian sex determination and gonadal development. Many new illustrations are provided throughout the volume. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Dass die römischen Dichter poetischer Kleinformen (also vor allem Lyrik, Elegie und Epigramm) von Catull bis Ovid auf griechische Modelle rekurrierten, die mehr als ein halbes Jahrtausend vor der eigenen Zeit und unter völlig anderen politischen und gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen entstanden sind, ist für die Klassische Philologie eine selbstverständliche und auf den ersten Blick wenig aufregende Tatsache. Die Forschung des 20. Jahrhunderts interessierte sich vornehmlich für die formale und ästhetische Dimension dieses Aneignungsprozesses: Horaz lernte gewissermaßen durch das gründliche Studium von Sappho und Alkaios, wie man gute lyrische Gedichte schrieb. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt diesen Vorgang nicht als selbstverständlich hin, sondern untersucht für besonders relevante Themen (Liebe, Symposium, Gesang, Politik) und Autorenpersönlichkeiten (Sappho, Archilochos, Pindar), welches spezifische Potenzial römische Autoren in den griechischen Texten sahen und wie sie ihre Prätexte auch dafür nutzten, eine kritische Distanz zur eigenen Gegenwart aufzubauen. |
