3B-1-P Lichen: from genome to ecosystem in a changing world 3B - 1: Bioinformatics (3B-1-P1) Submission ID: IAL0057-00007 MYCO-LICH: A NEW TOOL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF IRANIAN MYCOLOGY-LICHENOLOGY Sohrabi M. 1 , Ghobad-Nejhad M. 1 1 Botanical Museum, Department of Mycology, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland The MYCO-LICH (www.myco-lich.com) web application is a new information system, aimed to facilitate and promote biodiversity studies in mycology and lichenology in Iran. This website is powered by Google Apps and has two main directions: educational and research. MYCO-LICH serves as a repository of modern descriptions, distributions maps and illustrations of the lichenized and non-lichenized fungi of Iran. Some important information presented in the lichenology part of the website include: history of Iranian lichenology, national, provincial and regional level checklists, photo gallery at provincial and regional levels, collection of identification tips and keys, information and photos from the expeditions and explorers, information on the Red List of threatened species, glossary and information on vernacular names of lichens in Iran and list of proposed vernacular names for promoting discussion by the public, list of herbaria where Iranian specimens are deposited, collectors of Iranian lichens and maps for their visited spots, and related material and bibliographic resources on Iranian lichens. In order to stimulate and accelerate the floristic studies, all records new to Iran are published as e-records and are listed under the national checklist. The new e-records are published as RSS feed, readable by all kind of RSS or Feed Readers. Moreover, our online catalogue of the lichen family Megasporaceae including ‘manna lichens’ of the world is growing, descriptions and distribution maps of some species are now available online. The mycological part is under development, and is aimed to host pictorial checklist of Iranian wood-inhabiting fungi, as well as online catalogue of wood-inhabiting basidiomycetes of the Caucasus region. MYCO-LICH provides an educational section where several useful links and material are accessible. The aim of this section is to visualize the methodology in studying lichens and fungi: specimen handling at the herbarium, equipment used in the field and laboratory, HPLC, TLC, DNA extraction, spot test, and UV test. There are also several useful cross links to some databases and scientific journals with lichenological and mycological contents and courses and Power- Point slides provided by lichenologists who voluntarily made them available for public use. 166
The 7 th International Association for Lichenology Symposium 2012 (3B-1-P2) Submission ID: IAL0202-00002 INDEXS - AN ONLINE THESAURUS FOR STANDARD BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA ON EXSICCATAE IN BOTANY AND MYCOLOGY Triebel D. 1 , Scholz P. 1 , Weibulat T. 1 , Weiss M. 1 1 Botanische Staatssammlung München, Information Technology Center of the Bavarian Natural History Collections, Munich, Germany So-called exsiccatae (singular: exsiccata) are series of published, uniform and numbered sets of preserved specimens distributed together with printed labels. These series have informative titles and are usually accompanied by printed booklets with labels (‘schedae’). The nomenclatural status of these printed matters with regard to the effective publication of names is treated by the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Art. 30.4). Over 2,000 plant and fungus exsiccatae have been issued since the end of the 18 th century, with more than 20 million specimens distributed in varying numbers of duplicates to institutions worldwide. Typically, exsiccatae are devoted to thematic subjects, such as medicinal plants, or material from ‘exotic’ countries, for example WIRTGEN, Herb. Deutsch. Arzneipfl. or KALB, Lich. Neotrop., SMITH, Pl. Guatem. Others are restricted to particular taxonomic or ecological groups, e.g., LINTON & LINTON, Brit. Willows; SMITH, Diatom. Spec. Typ.; LUNDQVIST, Fungi Fimicoli Exs. During the 19 th century, well-known series, such as SCHIMPER, Iter Abyssin., were managed and sold by trade companies. Some 1,000+ exsiccatae contain vascular plants, c. 700 fungi and lichens, c. 500 bryophytes, and c. 250 algae. More than 50 exsiccatae projects are currently active, usually as part of the regular exchange programs of the publishing institutions (e.g., ALLEN & PURSELL, Maine Mosses; TRIEBEL, Microf. Exs.). Frequently, the specimens of exsiccatae sent out to herbaria are not preserved in the original context, but instead split and inserted in the receiving institution’s main collection. To support the digitalization of exsiccata material, the Botanische Staatssammlung München has established an online thesaurus database ‘IndExs’. It aims at a complete catalogue of all series worldwide, offering standard abbreviations and bibliographic details as well as additional data and images for recognizing exsiccatae and facilitating their databasing. With the help of IndExs, data capture during retro-digitalization becomes more efficient because exsiccatae specimens can be assigned to known series, with all accompanying information already including in IndExs. Since 2001, we have provided search and download options via an internet interface (http://indexs. botanischestaatssammlung.de). A SOAP web service is running. IndExs is powered by Diversity Workbench (http://www.diversityworkbench.net/Portal/DiversityExsiccatae_Information_Models). (3B-1-P3) Submission ID: IAL0224-00001 FLORISTIC DATA AND SPECIES ACCUMULATION CURVES: A CASE STUDY FROM THE CATALOG OF ALASKAN LICHENS Hampton-Miller C. J. 1 , Spribille T. 2 1 UA Museum of the North, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, Alaska, United States 2 Institute for Plant Sciences, University of Graz, Graz, Austria With large databases of specimen identity and locality now available online, it is tempting to use this data to infer biodiversity statistics and ecological patterns for lichens. Whether floristic data can be used reliably for measures of species diversity, abundance and range is limited due to sampling error. Most data on lichen occurrence comes from ad hoc collection schemes, which vary greatly in intensity, collector ability and taxonomic focus. These informal collections do not provide accurate measurement of abundance, making most estimates of species richness unreliable. However, it may be possible to estimate how many species have gone undetected in a given region via species accumulation curves. In this study, species accumulation curves are built from a heterogeneous data set, a database of published Alaskan lichen collections. The curves are fitted to three different models and the data set is further partitioned by region and macro- and microlichens. The reliability of the species curves is compared to species richness estimates of smaller, intensively sampled areas of Alaska. 167 3B-1-P
