BioRisk 3: 127–136. doi: 10.3897/ biorisk.3.25 Abstract Th e biota of lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi of diff erent plant-geographical regions of Israel was analyzed. Th ese areas diff er in climatic conditions. A total of 350 species from 16 orders, 52 families, and 117 genera were recorded; among them 5% are endemic to the Levant. Th e highest species richness was found in the Mediterranean area. Species diversity of other areas with more arid climatic conditions were much poorer in comparison with species diversity found in the more humid and cooler Mediter- ranean region. Saxicolous lichens were the most common species. However, in the Sudanian penetration area, terricolous lichens dominated. Among phytogeographic elements, temperate species were dominant. However, the Sudanian penetration area was characterized by the dominance of Mediterranean and sub- continental species.

  • Balaban, Philadelphia/Rehovot This Volume of Symbiosis Is A
    Symbiosis, 14 (1992) 1-2 1 Balaban, Philadelphia/Rehovot PREFACE This volume of Symbiosis is a compilation of papers presented at the International Congress on Symbiosis in Jerusalem, November 17-22, 1991. In his forward to "Symbiosis as a Source of Evolutionary Innovation", Sir David Smith, who presented the opening lecture at the congress, wrote "without symbiosis, the nature on Earth would be unrecognizable from that which is found today. This is not just because symbiosis was crucial to the evolution of eukaryotes from their prokaryote ancestors. It is also that most modern terrestrial ecosystems are critically dependent on symbiosis. Ninety percent of land plants in nature are mycorrhizal, and virtually all mammalian and insect herbivores would starve without their cellulose-digesting symbionts. Understanding symbiosis is thus fundamental for the comprehensive appre• ciation of organisms and their molecular and cellular biology. In presenting the program of the Congress, we have "mixed" various symbi• otic systems under topics of phenomena that these associations have in com• mon, with the incentive to establish better communication between symbiosis researchers and to share ideas by those who study symbiosis confined to specific associations. The phenomena discussed were: nutritional interaction, carbon and nitro• gen metabolism; recognition and specificity; behavioral symbiosis; transport mechanisms; ecology of the rhizosphere; evolutionary consequences of symbio• sis; the "host" -syrnbiont interface; communication in symbiosis; symbiosis and development of new structures and functions; ecological adaptation; applying plant-microbe symbiosis in agriculture and symbiotic features of virus-host relationships. The comparative discussions on these aspects of symbiosis were generally accepted with much interest and enthusiasm by the 250 participants, who came from 27 countries.

  • The Early Years
    Lichenological Contributions in Honour of David Galloway. I. Kärnefelt & A. Thell (eds.): Bibliotheca Lichenologica 95: 75–100. J. Cramer in der Gebrüder Borntraeger Verlagsbuchhandlung, Berlin · Stuttgart, 2007. International Association for Lichenology: the early years Ingvar KÄRNEFELT & Arne THELL The Biological Museums, Lund University, Östra Vallgatan 18, SE-223 61 Lund, Sweden; e-mail: [email protected]; Arne.Thell@ botmus.lu.se One of the main purposes of the International Association for Lichenology (IAL), inaugurated in 1967, was to establish a Newsletter in order to provide a forum for lichenologists worldwide to communicate with each other. In consequence, the early history of the IAL is in large degree the story of the International Lichenological Newsletter (ILN). Those responsible for organising the IAL at this time were essentially the editors of the Newsletter, hard-working people, collating hundreds of short notes on lichenologists and their current projects and opinions from all over the world, as well as reports of meetings and social events. Although the possibilities of communication have increased enormously in recent years, the function of IAL and its Newsletter remain the same, and the initial enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and results and reporting meetings continues undiminished. Meetings before IAL International botanical congresses have a long history dating back to the 1860s (VERDOORN 1953). Although lichenologists presumably attended these early meetings, any such participation is poorly documented. Alexander Zahlbruckner, for instance, was one of the main organizers of the 2nd International Botanical Congress (IBC) in Vienna in 1905. During the 7th IBC in Stockholm in 1950, a number of lichenologists joined together to give lectures on lichens which, according to the proceedings, included most aspects of lichen biology (OSVALD & ÅBERG 1953).

  • Obituary: Professor Margalith Galun (1927–2012), Founding Editor-In-Chief of Symbiosis
    Symbiosis (2012) 56:149–152 DOI 10.1007/s13199-012-0172-4 Obituary: Professor Margalith Galun (1927–2012), Founding Editor-in-Chief of Symbiosis Miriam Balaban Received: 25 May 2012 /Accepted: 25 May 2012 /Published online: 12 June 2012 # Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Aviv University. One day in 1985 Margalith told me about the development of symbiosis into a full important disci- pline of its own and that it was time to found a journal to gather papers now scattered in disciplines such as botany, microbiololgy, zoology, ecology and many more to find symbiosis articles under one cover to ease communication among symbiosis researchers. As a publisher, I said, let’s make one! From that day, it was a fruitful friendly collaboration. As production editor I offered Suzanne Trauffer who moved to Italy and then to the States. Margalith was concerned about the distance, but since in today’selec- tronic world it is expertise, intelligence and dedication which matter, this turned into a very happy collabora- tion which continues today with her successor, Prof. David Richardson. I first met Margalith Galun about half a century ago Then Margalith was concerned about distribution of the at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where she was journal and creating a forum where symbiosis scientists studying botany with Prof. Thelma Reiss and I was could meet. Thus with the collaboration of friends – Prof. editing the Israel Journal of Botany (and other Israel James White, Prof. John Lee, Prof. Sir David Smith and journals) for the Research Council. We met each other Prof.
