Contrasting

Order By: Relevance

“…Contraction of muscle B, which also ran dorsal to X but which was attached very near the tip of the strut, may also produce rotation; its contraction would tend to hold the tip of the strut tight against the point of rotation (X). The dorsal component of these rotatory effects (or posterior component, once the central portion of the sternite is rotated by the tergite muscles) would be accentuated by the fact that muscles A and B were tightly encircled by a strong rigid band connected with the central portion of the sternite (an effect similar to that produced by the pulley associated with the superior oblique muscles of the human eye; Quain et al 1842). At least some of the setae can apparently be moved individually, as a few fibers were attached to internal extensions of the bases of at least two setae ( Fig.…”

Multiple origins of a major novelty: moveable abdominal lobes in male sepsid flies (Diptera: epsidae), and the question of developmental constraints

Contrary to the impression given by their extreme scarcity among extant species of flies, moveable processes on the abdomen are apparently of relatively simple developmental origin, and they have evolved multiple times in males of the small family Sepsidae. They are used to stimulate the female during copulation in two groups, where they are probably independently derived. Because female cuing of reproductive decisions on particular types of stimuli will tend to favor male abilities to elaborate such stimuli, sexual selection by female choice may sometimes result in sustained selection for certain types of innovations in males. The lack of moveable appendages in most dipterans may be due not to developmental constraints, but to lack of selective advantages.

Art and anatomy in the nineteenth century were intimately linked maledominated professions, where hand and eye united. These activities were key interconnected sites of male bonding, of growing professional identity formation, and of the construction of modern masculinity. For the Irish-born Maclise brothers, Daniel and Joseph, the bonds were also fraternal: brothers living and working together in London throughout their lives with a shared passion for life drawing, anatomy, and the human figure in pictorial representation. Dissecting, in particular, the lithographic drawings of surgeon-artist Joseph Maclise in Richard Quain's The Anatomy of the Arteries of the Human Body (1840-circa 1844) and his own Surgical Anatomy (1851, 1856, and 1859), this essay tracks the lifeblood of the anatomical arts circulating around the networks of specialists with whom Maclise was associated, from Cork and the capitals of Scotland, England, and France, across the Atlantic to Philadelphia and Boston. At a time when travel was far slower, surgeons, artists, and printmakers travelled long distances in search of greater learning, the flow returning to generate new knowledges in its places of origin. Like the Grand Tour, these journeys often lasted far longer than a passing tourist visit, at times entailing months or years of professional study and work-as in Joseph Maclise's anatomy studies in Paris. The anatomical work, and its representation in images and texts, was thereby circulating in shared ideas, practices, teaching, books, manuals, atlases, art, and crucially, given that the (primarily) white male body was the "universal" body in medical anatomy, in shared ways of seeing and constituting the human (male) body. Authors AcknowledgementsI would like warmly to thank Keren Hammerschlag for her kind invitation to contribute to this major British Art Studies project, and for her comments on my text. My thanks also to the two BAS reviewers for their close reading plus their astute and helpful feedback. Marcia Pointon generously read an earlier version of my paper and gave me invaluable advice on it. I am very grateful too, to the incomparable William Schupbach at the Wellcome, who answered all my obscure queries during library lockdowns in 2020; Michael Sappol was also very kind in answering my questions and sharing his research. Irish medical historians Davis Coakley and Clive Lee have also generously shared their research and networks with me, without which my knowledge especially of the Cork anatomy fraternity would be greatly impoverished. The BAS project editors, especially Baillie Card, and Maisoon Rehani who has organised the illustrations, deserve my grateful thanks for their hard work, patience, and invaluable input. I am also indebted to all those individuals and organisations that supplied the illustrations.
