Mountain ecosystems and cold deserts are especially rich in lichens and are excellent field laboratories to study them under various stress conditions. Ecosystems of these types, namely the European Alps and Antarctica with their lichen biota, have also been in the focus of interest by Roman Türk in the last four decades. We took the occasion of Roman Türk's 65th birthday to invite a number of his colleagues and friends to contribute papers on aspects of lichens in mountain and polar ecosystems for this volume of Bibliotheca Lichenologica. The 17 reviewed contributions cover lichens from the European Alps, tropical Africa, on La Soufrière volcano to Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. This volume addresses the public interested in lichenology, and the editors are pleased to offer these contributions as further steps towards a better knowledge of taxonomy, diversity, distribution and ecology of lichens. The volume was carefully edited by three prominent and active members of the lichenological community, Josef Hafellner, University of Graz, Austria, Ingvar Kärnefelt, University of Lund, Sweden, and Volkmar Wirth, Natural History Museum, Karlsruhe, Germany.
This volume features 42 contributions on the occasion of the 65th birthday of G. Benno Feige in 2002. The authors of this volume come from 19 countries, which shows its international relevance. The articles are distributed to four sections (chemicals in lichens, new species and phylogeny, ecophysiology and morphology, distribution and ecology).
This volume on lichen biodiversity and ecology is dedicated to Harrie Sipman. It contains 29 peer-reviewed contributions by 50 authors. The emphasis is on the biodiversity and ecology of lichens in the tropics, but some papers are devoted to related areas. This volume is indispensable for active lichenologists, especially because it contains keys to several lichen genera. Full monographs are presented for the reinstated genus Herpothallon (with 29 species), the new genera Diaphorographis (with 2 species), Sipmaniella (with 1 species) and Synarthothelium (with 2 species), and the genus Placopyrenium (with 14 species and 3 varieties). Keys are furthermore given to all cryptothalline species of...
