Lindquistomyces
''Lindquistomyces'' is a fungal genus in the family Amphisphaeriaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species ''Lindquistomyces antarcticus''. This species was originally described as ''Ophiobolus antarcticus'' by Carlos Luigi Spegazzini in 1887. The genus name of ''Lindquistomyces'' is in honour of Juan Carlos Lindquist (1899-1990), who was an Argentinian agricultural engineer and botanist (Mycology), plantpathologist and specialist in uredinales (rust fungi) and Professor at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. The genus was circumscribed In geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius.

Amphisphaeriaceae
The ''Amphisphaeriaceae'' are a family of fungi that is mainly found in parts of New Zealand, South America, Asia and parts of Europe. According to the 2007 Outline of Ascomycota, there are 41 genera placed within the family, although the position of 13 of those genera is uncertain. Origins and controversies This family of fungi was established as ''Amphispaerieae'' to contain the previously unclassified genera '' Caryospora'', ''Strickeria'', '' Ohleria'', and '' Amphisphaeria'', among others. However, the name was forgotten over time. In 1964, the name was reintroduced as the current ''Amphisphaeriaceae'', and genera such as '' Apiorynchostoma'', and again, ''Amphisphaeria''. There was plenty of controversy about which order the Amphisphaeriaceae should be placed in. In 1973, ''Amphisphaeriaceae'' was placed under the order '' Sphaeriales'' (and some sources still classify it as such).In 1983, however, Amphisphaeriaceae was placed in under the order '' Amphisphaeriales'', alon ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Monotypic
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda.' ...

Species Description
A species description is a formal description of a newly discovered species, usually in the form of a scientific paper. Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been described previously or are related. In order for species to be validly described, they need to follow guidelines established over time. Zoological naming requires adherence to the ICZN code, plants, the ICN, viruses ICTV, and so on. The species description often contains photographs or other illustrations of type material along with a note on where they are deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million species have been identified and described, out of some 8.7 million that may actually exist. Millions more have become extinct throughout the existence of life on Earth. Naming process A name of a new species becomes valid (available in zo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carlos Luigi Spegazzini
Carlo Luigi Spegazzini, in Spanish Carlos Luis Spegazzini (20 April 1858 – 1 July 1926), was an Italian-born Argentinian botanist and mycologist. On the 1881/1882 expedition led by Giacomo Bove to explore Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, the Italian Decio Vinciguerra was officially both zoologist and botanist, but in fact Spegazzini handled the botanical work. Spegazzini published about 100 scientific papers on vascular plants, describing around 1000 new taxa. He was a professor at the University of La Plata and Buenos Aires in Argentina, curator of the herbarium of the National Department of Agriculture, first head of the herbarium of Museo de la Plata, and founder of an arboretum and an institute of mycology in La Plata city. In 1924 he edited the journal ''Revista Argentina de Botánica'', but only four issues were published before his death. In a 1924 ''Mycologia'' publication, William Murrill recounted his time visiting with Spegazzini, who was then 66 years old: Dr S ...

Circumscription (taxonomy)
In biological taxonomy, circumscription is the content of a taxon, that is, the delimitation of which subordinate taxa are parts of that taxon. If we determine that species X, Y, and Z belong in Genus A, and species T, U, V, and W belong in Genus B, those are our circumscriptions of those two genera. Another systematist might determine that T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z all belong in genus A. Agreement on circumscriptions is not governed by the Codes of Zoological or Botanical Nomenclature, and must be reached by scientific consensus. A goal of biological taxonomy is to achieve a stable circumscription for every taxon. This goal conflicts, at times, with the goal of achieving a natural classification that reflects the evolutionary history of divergence of groups of organisms. Balancing these two goals is a work in progress, and the circumscriptions of many taxa that had been regarded as stable for decades are in upheaval in the light of rapid developments in molecular phylogene ...

Emil Müller (mycologist)
Emil Müller (March 5, 1920 – April 2, 2008) was a Swiss mycologist. He specialised in the study of the systematics of the ascomycetes. Müller was the editor of the scientific journal ''Sydowia'' for several years, taking over the position after the death of the previous editor and founder, Franz Petrak, in 1973. Müller published more than 200 papers in his scientific career. He was well known in the mycological community for two taxonomic publications co-authored with his colleague J.A. von Arx: ''Die Gattungen der amerosporen Pyrenomyceten'' (Genera of the amerosporous Pyrenomycetes, 1954) and ''Die Gattungen der didymosporen Pyrenomyceten'' (Genera of didymosporous Pyrenomycetes, 1962). In 1968, botanist Lennart Holm published '' Muellerites'', which is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes and named after Emil. Then in 1968, '' Muelleromyces'' (the family Phyllachoraceae) was published. See also *List of mycologists This is a non-exhaustive list of mycologists, ...
