Flora of Australia
Author: Australian Biological Resources Study
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 9780643090569
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Volume 55 contains an account of the largest family of lichens in Australia, the Parmeliaceae. This family, familiar to most people as the common grey or brown to yellowish green foliose lichens of rocks, soil and bark, has about 60 genera and 1000 species worldwide. Thirty-one genera and 395 species are recorded from Australia. The book has keys for identification of genera and species. Each species is fully described, with bibliographic information, a full Australian synonymy, notes on habitat and distribution, and a summary of its chemistry. A distribution map is provided for each taxon and many species are illustrated in colour. An innovation in this volume is the inclusion of a synoptic key to the genera. This volume provides an excellent modern account of a difficult family

Images from Lichenes Australasici Exsiccati and of other characteristic Australasian Lichens. Volume Two
Author: Felix, Elix, John A. Schumm
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3738683879
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
This book includes photographs of a selection of typical Australasianlichens, many of which have been distributed in the LICHENES AUS-TRALASICI EXSICCATI (issued by J.A. Elix 1982-1994) as well as someadditional species. In addition to the overall images, photographs ofselected stained and unstained sections, spores and HPTLC-plates areincluded. The goal was to make images of these lichenological treas-ures available to a wider circle of interested people. We hope that theimages will complement the literature and aid in the determination ofAustralasian lichen species.

Lichens of Antarctica and South Georgia
Author: D. O. Øvstedal
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521662413
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
Antarctica's severe climate and restricted area of ice-free habitats limit the biodiversity and biota of its terrestrial ecosystems. Throughout much of this wilderness, lichens are the predominant visible life form, yet relatively few descriptive accounts of Antarctic lichens have been published. Research on these enigmatic organisms is increasing rapidly and there is a growing need for a comprehensive guide to the identification of Antarctic lichen-forming fungi. This volume provides the first modern detailed compilation of their taxonomy, ecology, distribution and relevant published literature. As such, it represents a major contribution to global lichen taxonomy and biogeography. The systematic accounts provide sufficient descriptive information to allow specialists to identify taxa to species level, and are structured so that even non-specialists can use them to identify specimens to at least the generic level.

Fungal Families of the World
Author: P. F. Cannon
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 0851998275
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The Dictionary of the Fungi has been published continuously by CABI from it's outset in 1943 to the latest (tenth) edition in 2008. The primary feature of the Dictionary is an authoritative consensus classification of the fungi, that has been widely accepted as an enabling and informing framework for research into pure and applied mycology. Fungal Families of the World has been conceived as an illustrative and more approachable companion to the Dictionary. Second it provides further substantial information on the 536 currently accepted families of Fungi, with more detailed descriptions and notes on ecology, economic uses, and the like. Third (and perhaps most importantly), it depicts the extraordinary range of morphological structures found in fungi, celebrating myco-diversity and perhaps stimulating interest in mycology by those individuals outside the inner circle of fungal systematists. The taxonomic framework for Fungal Families of the World is based upon that of the ninth edition of Dictionary but has been substantially updated to confirm with the findings of two major US-led research projects on fungal systematics, popularly referred to as Deep Hydra and AFTOL (Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life). The book contains images for over 400 families of the Fung, representing substantially wider fungal diversity than has been achieved before in a single publication. Where practical illustration of both macroscopic and microscopic features have been included. Fungal Families of the World will be of great value to students and researchers in biology, ecology and conservation, to mycologists, agriculturalists and foresters and serves as an informative companion to the Dictionary of the Fungi.
