Basidiomycetes of the Greater Antilles, Especially the Luquillo LTER Site

9525902大安的列斯群岛的Lodge Basidiomycetes（真菌），特别是卢基略LTER位点，PI's：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团队已经聚集在大安的列斯群岛的波多黎各、伊斯帕尼奥拉岛、圣约翰岛和牙买加岛上调查担子菌。 除锈菌外，估计有12目36科320属2,000余种，其中12%以上为未描述种。 收集数据和西班牙文和英文的检索表将在因特网上通过卢基略LTER gopher在sunceer.upr.clu.edu上的“调查数据”下提供，并将制作附有插图的识别手册。 通过与已发表或正在进行中的在委内瑞拉，哥斯达黎加，和小安的列斯群岛的真菌的比较，有关岛屿地理学和在担子菌进化的问题将被探讨。 据推测，适应干旱森林的真菌分布广泛，而潮湿森林的物种更有可能在岛屿上孤立和分化。 还将研究波多黎各的卢基略LTER站点土壤有机质浓度对土壤分解菌丰度和多样性的影响，以及树冠树木对叶分解菌的多样性。

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.
