Dear collegues,
I am finishing a revision of the genus Typosyllis Langerhans
(Syllidae) for Ph.D. thesis at the University of Osnabrueck.
When generating the list of cited literature, I stumbled over unclarity
how to cite and alphabetize some few authors with aristocratic title. As
there seems to be no guideline and moreover, as other authors seem to
have these "problems" also (according to ununiformity I noticed in the
references), I would like to throw this question into discussion and would
be grateful for receiving any advice.
Below I listed those authors that make me trouble:
BLAINVILLE, H. DE or DE BLAINVILLE, H.
(if DE BLAINVILLE, alphabetize as "B" or "D" in references?)
DALLA TORRE, K. W. VON or VON DALLA TORRE, K. W.
(alphabetize as "D", "T" or "V"?)
CHIAJE, S. DELLE or DELLE CHIAJE, S.
(alphabetize as "C" or "D"?)
LINNE, CHARLES or LINNAEUS, CAROLUS
MARENZELLER, E. VON or VON MARENZELLER, E.
(alphabetize as "M" or "V"?)
MCINTOSH, W.C.
(alphabetize as "Mc" or "Mac"?)
PLESSIS, G. DU or DU PLESSIS, G.
(alphabetize as "P" or "D"?)
SAINT-JOSEPH, (BARON) A. DE or DE SAINT-JOSEPH, A.
(alphabetize as "S" or "D", with or without "Baron"?)
D'URBAN, W.S.M. or URBAN, W.S.M. D'
(alphabetize as "U" or "D"?)
WILLEMOES-SUHM, R. VON or VON WILLEMOES-SUHM, R.
(alphabetize as "W" or "V"?)
With many thanks in advance.
