Tiina Randlane
Tiina Randlane (born 10 September 1953) is an Estonian mycologist and lichenologist. Life and career Randlane was born in Tallinn and completed her undergraduate studies at Tartu State University, graduating cum laude in 1977. She pursued further education at the same institution, obtaining her Candidate (degree), candidate's degree in 1986. Her thesis explored the lichen flora of Estonia's western islands. Randlane's professional journey at the University of Tartu began in 1975 when she started as a technician. She has maintained her affiliation with the university throughout her career, progressing to her current position as an associate professor. Randlane's research primarily concentrates on lichen taxonomy (biology), taxonomy and ecology. Her publication record includes close to a hundred scientific papers and book chapters. One of her notable contributions is spearheading the development of a comprehensive global taxonomic database for lichens. A significant portion of her ...

Estonia
Estonia, officially the Republic of Estonia, is a country in Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by the Gulf of Finland across from Finland, to the west by the Baltic Sea across from Sweden, to the south by Latvia, and to the east by Russia. The territory of Estonia consists of the mainland, the larger islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, and over 2,300 other islands and islets on the east coast of the Baltic Sea. Its capital Tallinn and Tartu are the two largest List of cities and towns in Estonia, urban areas. The Estonian language is the official language and the first language of the Estonians, majority of its population of nearly 1.4 million. Estonia is one of the least populous members of the European Union and NATO. Present-day Estonia has been inhabited since at least 9,000 BC. The Ancient Estonia#Early Middle Ages, medieval indigenous population of Estonia was one of the last pagan civilisations in Europe to adopt Christianity following the Northern Crusades in the ...

Moss
Mosses are small, non-vascular plant, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic phylum, division Bryophyta (, ) ''sensu stricto''. Bryophyta (''sensu lato'', Wilhelm Philippe Schimper, Schimp. 1879) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise Marchantiophyta, liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations. The individual plants are usually composed of simple leaf, leaves that are generally only one cell thick, attached to a plant stem, stem that may be branched or unbranched and has only a limited role in conducting water and nutrients. Although some species have conducting tissues, these are generally poorly developed and structurally different from similar tissue found in vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing sporangium, spores. They are typically tall, though some species ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Women Lichenologists
A woman is an adult female human. Before adulthood, a female child or adolescent is referred to as a girl. Typically, women are of the female sex and inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and women with functional uteruses are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, ''SRY'' gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. An adult woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. These characteristics facilitate childbirth and breastfeeding. Women typically have less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Throughout human history, traditional gen ...

Living People
Purpose: Because living persons may suffer personal harm from inappropriate information, we should watch their articles carefully. By adding an article to this category, it marks them with a notice about sources whenever someone tries to edit them, to remind them of WP:BLP (biographies of living persons) policy that these articles must maintain a neutral point of view, maintain factual accuracy, and be properly sourced. Recent changes to these articles are listed on Special:RecentChangesLinked/Living people. Organization: This category should not be sub-categorized. Entries are generally sorted by family name In many societies, a surname, family name, or last name is the mostly hereditary portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family.

Lepraria Tiinae
''Lepraria'' is a genus of leprose (powdery) crustose lichens that grows on its substrate like patches of granular, caked up, mealy dust grains.A taxonomic revision of the North American species of Lepraria s.l. that produce divaricatic acid, with notes on the type species of the genus L. incana, James C. Lendemer , Mycologia 103(6): 1216-1229/ref> Members of the genus are List of lichen common names and their genera, commonly called dust lichens.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, The main vegetative body (thallus) is made of patches of soredia (little balls of algae wrapped in fungus). There are no known mechanisms for sexual reproduction, yet members of the genus continue to speciate. Some species can form marginal lobes and appear squamulose. Because of the morphological simplicity of the thallus and the absence of sexual structures, the composition of lichen products (i.e., secondary metabolites made by lichens) are important c ...

Leptogium Tiinae
''Leptogium'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Collemataceae. It has about 110 species. Species formerly classified under ''Leptogium'' have since been divided among the genera ''Leptogium'', ''Pseudoleptogium'', and ''Scytinium''. ''Leptogium'' lichens are predominantly found on tree bark or soil, often among mosses, and sometimes on rocks in moist environments. Taxonomy In 2013, a proposal supported by molecular phylogenetics data was made to conserve the genus ''Leptogium'' with a conserved type, aiming to maintain the current broader classification including both small- and larger foliose species within ''Leptogium'', while segregating the smaller squamulose species into ''Scytinium''. This conservation was recommended by a vote of 14-0-1 to prevent the necessity of reclassifying about 100 species into new genera such as ''Malotium''. The proposal was widely supported by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi as it simplifies the taxonomy and maintains historica ...

Pyxine Tiinae
''Pyxine'' is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Caliciaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in tropical regions. The presence or absence of the compound lichexanthone is a character used in classifying ''Pyxine '' species; about 20 species contain this compound. This represents the largest group of foliose lichens with the compound.
