  • An Evolving Phylogenetically Based Taxonomy of Lichens and Allied Fungi
    Opuscula Philolichenum, 11: 4-10. 2012. *pdf available online 3January2012 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) An evolving phylogenetically based taxonomy of lichens and allied fungi 1 BRENDAN P. HODKINSON ABSTRACT. – A taxonomic scheme for lichens and allied fungi that synthesizes scientific knowledge from a variety of sources is presented. The system put forth here is intended both (1) to provide a skeletal outline of the lichens and allied fungi that can be used as a provisional filing and databasing scheme by lichen herbarium/data managers and (2) to announce the online presence of an official taxonomy that will define the scope of the newly formed International Committee for the Nomenclature of Lichens and Allied Fungi (ICNLAF). The online version of the taxonomy presented here will continue to evolve along with our understanding of the organisms. Additionally, the subfamily Fissurinoideae Rivas Plata, Lücking and Lumbsch is elevated to the rank of family as Fissurinaceae. KEYWORDS. – higher-level taxonomy, lichen-forming fungi, lichenized fungi, phylogeny INTRODUCTION Traditionally, lichen herbaria have been arranged alphabetically, a scheme that stands in stark contrast to the phylogenetic scheme used by nearly all vascular plant herbaria. The justification typically given for this practice is that lichen taxonomy is too unstable to establish a reasonable system of classification. However, recent leaps forward in our understanding of the higher-level classification of fungi, driven primarily by the NSF-funded Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life (AFToL) project (Lutzoni et al. 2004), have caused the taxonomy of lichen-forming and allied fungi to increase significantly in stability. This is especially true within the class Lecanoromycetes, the main group of lichen-forming fungi (Miadlikowska et al.

    Scientific research at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech Scientific research at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech - ULg 1 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech - University of Liege (GxABT-ULg) holds a privileged position at the crossing of research and development, which are at the heart of issues of international and societal interest, designating our institution as a leader in sustainable development. One of the GxABT-ULg priorities was to increase the quality and quantity of scientific research, with this priority being organised around three Research Units; namely, AGROBIOCHEM, BIOSE and TERRA, which also include support Centres for Research and Education (CARE) and different technical platforms. These structures have allowed the skills and expertise of GxABT-ULg to develop nationally and internationally in two major areas: «Living Resources and the Environment» and «Bioproducts and Consumers.» GxABT-ULg emphasises the multidisciplinary and integrative approaches within these research fields, particularly with respect to their close relationship with to sustainable development. To achieve this objective, the skills and disciplines needed to meet the needs of partner organisations in our research and innovation challenges are grouped together. 2 Scientific research at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech - ULg GxABT-ULg is a faculty of the University 58 CHINESE of Liege that has existed since 1860. In the 2015–2016 academic year, it had: 133 BELGIANS 17 FRENCH 1304 STUDENTS 329 PHD STUDENTS 15 BENINESE 33% FOREIGN STUDENTS 13 VIETNAMESE 9 MOROCCANS 46 NATIONALITIES 9 TUNISIANS 8 CONGOLESE 7 ALGERIANS 329 PHD STUDENTS 53 PhD students coming from Gabon, Hungary, Laos, Nepal, 7 CAMEROONESE Philippines, Italy, India..
