TAXONOMIC REFERENCES
Nomenclature, Taxonomic Hierarchy, Author Names
Myconet (This
is the most recent, regularly updated "
CABI Biosciences
CABI maintains several very useful Taxonomic Databases for Names of all
Fungi (including Lichens).
Especially the following ones are particularly helpful (the taxonomy of
the Ascomycota follows the Dictionary
of Fungi, and is not identical with Myconet):
Taxonomic
Hierarchy (Search of Higher Groups of Fungi)
Family Names
(Search for Family Names of Fungi)
Index Fungorum (Search
for Names of Genera and Species; extremely valuable search
tool for references to
authors, publications and types)
Standardized
Abreviations of Author Names
THE STANDARD [according to BRUMMIT and POWELL (1992, regularly
updated!)]
ING
- Index Nominum Genericorum (Database of Genus Names maintained
by the Smithsonian)
