Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, symbiotic mutualists of many dominant tree and shrub species, exhibit a biogeographic pattern counter to the established latitudinal diversity gradient most macroflora fauna. However, an evolutionary basis for this has not been explicitly tested in diverse lineage. In study, we reconstructed mega-phylogeny cosmopolitan hyperdiverse genus ECM Russula, sampling from annotated collections utilizing publically available sequences deposited GenBank. Metadata molecular...

In this new series of Fungal Biodiversity Profiles, the authors provide descriptions for ten taxa: Ilytheomyces uncinatus W. Rossi & M. Leonardi, sp. nov. (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales) and several Basidiomycota: in family Entolomataceae Entoloma aurantioalpinum Armada, Vila, Bellanger, Noordel., Krisai Dima, E. nigroflavescens Noordel. nov., both from France; Inocybaceae Inocybe hebes Eyssart.

Lactarius bisporus sp. nov. is described from primary tropical forest in Thailand. Morphological characters and DNA sequence data are given. Comparisons with the closely related angiocarpous taxon pomiolens provided.
The current generally accepted concept of Russula maculata defines the species by yellow-brownish spots on basidiomata, an acrid taste, a yellow spore print and red pileus. This was tested using collections originating from various geographical areas mainly in Europe. Analyses ITS region suggested that there were three within this broad concept. One them, R. maculata, identified based sequence epitype. Two other species, nympharum sp., are described here as newly species. European grow...
Lactarius subgenus Russularia is a dominant group of milkcaps in Southeast Asia. This paper reveals the large diversity subgenus, with eight new species and one known being described from montane evergreen coniferous forests. All are supported by both morphological molecular data, latter using Maximum likelihood Bayesian analysis based on ITS region. Complete macro- micro-morphological descriptions illustrations given. A key to taxa provided. chichuensis reported for first time Thailand.
Species of Russula are ubiquitous members ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in tropical ecosystems. However, an important part the total diversity this genus and its biogeographic patterns is unknown due to lack studies on We combined molecular, morphological, ecological, data elaborate concepts for two new subspecies R. floriformis (subsection Substriatinae). subsp. symphoniae described as from montane forest dominated by Quercus and/or Oreomunnea (Fagales) Colombia Panama, respectively....
Russula albonigra is considered a well-known species, morphologically delimited by the context of basidiomata blackening without intermediate reddening, and menthol-cooling taste lamellae. It supposed to have broad ecological range large distribution area. A thorough molecular analysis based on four nuclear markers (ITS, LSU, RPB2 TEF1-α) shows this traditional concept R. s. lat. represents species complex consisting at least five European, three North American, one Chinese species....
Species of Russula subsect. Xerampelinae are notoriously difficult to identify and name have not been subject molecular study. A group species, referred here as the R. clavipes complex, growing in association with Salix, Betula Populus well coniferous tree species from temperate arctic alpine habitats, were examined. Analyses nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region a numerical analysis morphological characters used. The complex is monophyletic within Xerampelinae, according...
In this paper, we examine why mobile R&D prototypes are not being implemented. To do so, formulated propositions, moving from a macro-economic view on innovation, via innovation strategies to explanations that focus artifact design and the underlying business models. We concluded in process is technology user acceptance, at expense of relationship with potential providers service. our view, although approaches should models, managing service has be included outset.
This paper is the second in a series of biodiversity papers on Lactarius subgenus Russularia tropical forests Southeast Asia. study based extensive mycological exploration, especially Northern Thailand, during past ten years. In this we consider some species that are characterized by remarkably small basidiocarps i.e. with an average pileus diameter smaller than 20 mm. One most common Thailand dwarf L. gracilis, originally described from Japan. We introduce new crenulatulus, perparvus and...

The ectomycorrhizal milkcap genus Lactifluus (Russulaceae) is commonly found in tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. During several sampling expeditions Thailand, multiple collections (Lf.) species with pleurotoid or small agaricoid basidiocarps were found. A molecular study was combined a morphological study, which the compared herbarium material. indicated that four Thai belonged to undescribed within section Gerardii, as also case for from Nepal. One other collection...
Dry dipterocarp forests are among the most common habitat types in Thailand. Russulaceae known as ectomycorrhizal symbionts of Dipterocarpaceae trees this type habitat. The present study aims to identify collections Russula subsection Amoeninae Buyck from dry A multi-locus phylogenetic analysis placed Thai two novel lineages, and they described here R. bellissima sp. nov. luteonana closest identified relatives both species were sequestrate suggesting that may belong drought-adapted lineages....
In an attempt to bring citizens closer governments, electronic participation services are increasingly receiving attention. Despite technological advances regarding smartphones and georeferencing, mobile extensions e-participation solutions lacking. We propose a generic service platform called mGeoWiki, which will provide interface for several services. Within this paper, we describe the first stages of design research cycle, describing problem initial proposed solution. explicitly concept...
This paper presents an application for smartphones, which supports people with color vision deficiency (CVD). Following a general introduction we discuss briefly relevant aspects explaining the causes and types of this disease. A variety test procedures have been developed, allowing to diagnose different categories levels CVD. As propose new mobile solution support without CVD, first summarize related work special attention applications. People suffering from are restricted in observing or...
Species of the ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus, and often entire sections, are typically unique to a single continent. Given these biogeographic patterns, an interesting region study their diversity is Central America Caribbean, since closely connected considered part North American continent, but biogeographically belong Neotropical realm, comprises several regions with different geologic histories. Based on multi-gene phylogeny morphological study, this shows that America, Mexico...
Species of the genus Russula are key components ectomycorrhizal ecosystems worldwide. Nevertheless, their diversity in tropics is still poorly known.

In this paper, the focus is on finding an answer to question why Mobile R&D prototypes are not being implemented. To find explanation, we formulated propositions, moving from a macro-economic view innovation, via innovation strategies explanations that design of artefact and supporting business models. We concluded that, in process, models, at expense managing relationships with potential providers mobile service. our view, approaches should therefore as well underlying but relationship...
