Basidiomycetes of the Greater Antilles, Especially the Luquillo LTER Site

9525902洛奇大安的列斯群岛的担子菌（真菌），特别是Luquillo LTER遗址，PI: D. Jean Lodge， T.J. Baroni， K. Nakasone，和L. Ryvarden。一个由真菌学家和当地合作者组成的大型国际小组已被召集起来调查波多黎各、伊斯帕尼奥拉岛、圣约翰岛和大安的列斯群岛的牙买加岛上的担子菌。担子菌（不包括锈菌）预计有12目36科320属2000余种，其中未描述种超过12%。西班牙语和英语的收集数据和钥匙将在互联网上通过Luquillo LTER gopher在sunceer.up.clu.edu的fungi.survey.dat子目录下获得，并将制作有插图的识别手册。通过与委内瑞拉、哥斯达黎加和小安的列斯群岛已发表或正在进行的真菌进行比较，将探索有关担子菌的岛屿生物地理学和进化的问题。据推测，适应干燥森林的真菌分布广泛，而湿润森林的物种更有可能在岛屿上被隔离和分化。研究了波多黎各Luquillo LTER站点土壤有机质浓度对土壤分解体木耳菌丰度和多样性的影响，以及冠层树木对叶片分解体木耳菌多样性的影响。

9525902 Lodge Basidiomycetes (fungi) of the Greater Antilles, especially the Luquillo LTER site, PI's: D. Jean Lodge, T.J. Baroni, K. Nakasone, and L. Ryvarden. A large international team of mycologists and local cooperators has been assembled to survey basidiomycetes on the islands of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, St. John, and Jamaica in the Grater Antilles. Over 2,000 species of basidiomycets (excluding the rust fungi) in 12 orders, 36 families and 320 genera are expected, including over 12% undescribed species. Collection data and keys in both Spanish and English will be accessible on the Internet through the Luquillo LTER gopher under subdirectory fungi.survey.dat at sunceer.upr.clu.edu as they become available, and illustrated identification manuals will be produced. Through comparisons with mycotas that are published or are underway in Venezuela, Costa Rica, and the Lesser Antilles, questions about island biogeography and evolution in basidiomycetes will be explored. Fungi adapted to dry forests are hypothesized to be widespread, while species of wet forests are more likely to become isolated and differentiated on islands. Effect of soil organic matter concentrations on abundance and diversity of decomposer agarics on soil, and diversity of canopy trees on leaf decomposer agarics at the Luquillo LTER site in Puerto Rico will also be studied.
