The proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on title], held in Paris, France, May 1993, provide a comprehensive view of the present state of ascomycete systematics. Following an introductory section, are sections devoted to ascoma and thallus structure and ontogeny; conidiomata and mitos

This book presents data on the use and location of filamentous fungi for biotechnologists. The addresses and scope of all of the major fungi-holding collections are detailed, together with information on how to access the data, administration and safety, identification, culture and media recipes, patents, preservation, specialist services, and other international organisations. The authors are all international authorities who have combined with the resource centers to provide this unique source book.

This volume is an international compilation for biotechnologists of data on the location and use of filamentous fungi.

Leading experts on the field of biodiversity examine examples from a wide range of organism groups. Their approaches include the latest molecular and phylogenetic techniques through to the selection of indicator data and aspects of sampling. This paperback edition has been published for students on 'biodiversity' related courses.

Lichen assocIations include some of the oldest living organisms and represent a major nutritional method adopted by one in five fungi. Major advances in our knowledge of these biologically fascinating organisms have been made in recent years and they now have a great deal to offer to teaching in colleges and universities. In addition to being examples of biotrophic systems, they merit discussion in courses on fungal phylogeny, fungal nutrition, ecology, ecophysiology, biogeography, evolution, chemo- taxonomy, environmental monitoring, and algology. As all aspects of lichenology cannot be...
