Coppinsidea Vainioana
''Coppinsidea vainioana'' is a species of crustose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. It occurs in Europe, where it grows on the bark of pine trees. Taxonomy ''Coppinsidea vainioana'' was originally published posthumously by Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio in 1934 as ''Lecidea sphaeroidiza'', in the fourth volume of his series ''Lichenographia Fennia''. The type was collected by Vainio in 1882 at Isosaari (Swedish: Mjölö), an island in Helsinki. The lichen, he noted, was growing abundantly on the bark on pine trees both on the island and also in nearby areas. The species was transferred to the genus ''Biatora'' in 1995. However, Vainio's name is illegitimate, because it has an older, competing homonym, '' Lecidea sphaeroidiza'', which was described by William Nylander in 1896. Lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Edit Farkas, and Laszlo Lőkös circumscribed the genus ''Coppinsidea ''Coppinsidea'' is a genus of two species of crustose lichens in the family Rama ...

Lecidea Sphaeroidiza
''Lecidea'' is a genus of crustose lichens with a carbon black ring or outer margin (exciple) around the fruiting body disc (apothecium), usually (or always) found growing on (saxicolous) or in ( endolithic) rock.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, Lichens that have such a black exciple are called lecideine, meaning "like ''Lecidea'', even if they are not in this genus. Members of the genus are commonly called disk lichens or tile lichens. Selected species According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains an estimated 427 species. * ''Lecidea atrobrunnea'' * ''Lecidea hassei'' * ''Lecidea keimioeensis'' * ''Lecidea laboriosa'' * ''Lecidea lithophila ''Lecidea'' is a genus of crustose lichens with a carbon black ring or outer margin (exciple) around the fruiting body disc (apothecium), usually (or always) found growing on (saxicolous) or in ( endolithic) rock.Field Guide to Califor ...

Lichens Of Europe
A lichen ( , ) is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship.Introduction to Lichens – An Alliance between Kingdoms . University of California Museum of Paleontology. Lichens have properties different from those of their component organisms. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but are not s. They may have tiny, leafless branches ( fruticose); flat leaf-like structures ( [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Index Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are '' MycoBank'' and '' Fungal Names''. Current names in ''Index Fungorum'' ('' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nomen Novum
In biological nomenclature, a ''nomen novum'' (Latin for "new name"), new replacement name (or replacement name, new substitute name, substitute name) is a scientific name that is created specifically to replace another scientific name, but only when this other name cannot be used for technical, nomenclatural reasons (for example because it is a homonym: it is spelled the same as an existing, older name). It does not apply when a name is changed for taxonomic reasons (representing a change in scientific insight). It is frequently abbreviated, ''e.g.'' ''nomen nov.'', ''nom. nov.''. Zoology In zoology establishing a new replacement name is a nomenclatural act and it must be expressly proposed to substitute a previously established and available name. Often, the older name cannot be used because another animal was described earlier with exactly the same name. For example, Lindholm discovered in 1913 that a generic name ''Jelskia'' established by Bourguignat in 1877 for a European ...

Coppinsidea
''Coppinsidea'' is a genus of two species of crustose lichens in the family Ramalinaceae. It was circumscribed in 2019 by lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Edit Farkas, and Laszlo Lőkös with ''Coppinsidea sphaerella'' designated as the type species. Species of ''Coppinsidea'' are similar in appearance and morphology to '' Thamnolecania'', but differ from them in having a thallus that is crustose (rather than fruticose, mostly convex to almost spherical apothecia that are lecideine or biatorine in structure, as well as in being distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. The genus is named to honour British lichenologist Brian J. Coppins. Species *''Coppinsidea sphaerella'' *''Coppinsidea vainioana'' Several species included in the original circumscription of the genus have since been moved to other genera: *''Coppinsidea alba'' (''Biatora veteranorum'') *''Coppinsidea aphana'' (''Catillaria aphana'') *''Coppinsidea croatica'' ('' Lecania croatica'') *''Coppinsidea fuscovi ...

Sergey Kondratyuk
Sergey Yakovlevich Kondratyuk ( uk, Сергій Якович Кондратюк) (born 17 May 1959) is a Ukrainian botanist specialising in lichenology. His research deals with the taxonomy, floristics, ecology and geography of lichens and lichenicolous fungi. He has worked at the for more than 40 years. In 2014 Kondratyuk was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology. Early life and education Kondratyuk was born in the Kirovohrad region, in Ulyanovsk. After graduating from school in 1976 he became a student of the Faculty of Biology at Kyiv State University. He specialized in the Department of Lower Plants.

William Nylander (botanist)
William (Wilhem) Nylander (3 January 1822 – 29 March 1899) was a Finnish botanist and entomologist. Nylander was born in Oulu, and taught at the University of Helsinki before moving to Paris, where he lived until his death in 1899. Nylander studied medicine, receiving a degree in 1847. Nylander pioneered the technique of determining the taxonomy of lichens by the use of chemical reagents, such as potassium hydroxide, tinctures of iodine and calcium hypochlorite, still used by lichenologists as the K and C tests. Nylander was the first to realise the effect of atmospheric pollution on the growth of lichens, an important discovery that paved the way for the use of lichens to detect pollution and determine the cleanness of air. His brother Fredrik Nylander Fredrik Nylander (9 September 1820 – 29 September 1880) was a Finnish physician and botanist who was among the first to study the plants of Finland, describing about eleven new species. Nylander was born in O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Homonym (biology)
In biology, a homonym is a name for a taxon that is identical in spelling to another such name, that belongs to a different taxon. The rule in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is that the first such name to be published is the senior homonym and is to be used (it is "valid"); any others are junior homonyms and must be replaced with new names. It is, however, possible that if a senior homonym is archaic, and not in "prevailing usage," it may be declared a ''nomen oblitum'' and rendered unavailable, while the junior homonym is preserved as a ''nomen protectum''. :For example: :*Cuvier proposed the genus ''Echidna'' in 1797 for the spiny anteater. :*However, Forster had already published the name ''Echidna'' in 1777 for a genus of moray eels. :*Forster's use thus has priority, with Cuvier's being a junior homonym. :* Illiger published the replacement name ''Tachyglossus'' in 1811. Similarly, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (IC ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
