Tania (fungus)
''Tania'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Roccellaceae. It has two species. The genus was circumscribed by Maria Egea Fernández, Pilar Torrente and Harrie Sipman in 1995, with '' Tania lanosa'' assigned as the type, and at that time, only species. A second species, '' T. mohamedii'', was added to the genus in 2006. The genus name honours bryologist Benito Ching Tan (1946–2016), who organized the expedition to Mount Kinabalu Mount Kinabalu ( ms, Gunung Kinabalu, Dusun language, Dusun: ''Gayo Ngaran or Nulu Nabalu'') is the highest mountain in Borneo and Malaysia.

Harrie Sipman
Henricus (Harrie) Johannes Maria Sipman (born 1945) is a Dutch lichenologist. He specialises in tropical and subtropical lichens, and has authored or co-authored more than 250 scientific publications. He was the curator of the lichen herbarium at the Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum from 1983 until his retirement in 2010. Life and career Sipman was born in 1945 in Sittard, Netherlands. He attended Utrecht University, where he studied botany. Sipman was appointed to the Herbarium and the Institute for Systematic Botany from 1972 to 1982, where his focus was on lichenology and bryology. During this time, some of his research publications dealt with taxa from the lichen genera ''Cladonia'' and '' Stereocaulon'', and on the Musci '' Anisothecium staphylinum'', '' Campylopus'' and ''Ephemerum''. His supervisor was Robbert Gradstein (nl). He earned his PhD in 1983 after defending a thesis on the family Megalosporaceae, later published as a monograph in the '' Bibliotheca ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), 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 taxonomy (biology), 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 ...

Roccellaceae
The Roccellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Arthoniomycetes. Most taxa are lichenized with green algae, although some are lichenicolous, growing on other lichens. Genera , Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 47 genera and 266 species in family Roccellaceae. *'' Ancistrosporella'' – 3 spp. *'' Austrographa'' – 3 spp. *'' Austroroccella'' – 1 sp. *'' Baidera'' – 1 sp. *'' Chiodecton'' – ca. 22 spp. *'' Cresponea'' – 21 spp. *'' Crocellina'' – 1 sp. *'' Dendrographa'' – 7 spp. *'' Dichosporidium'' – 8 spp. *'' Diplogramma'' – 1 spp. *'' Dirina'' – 13 spp. *'' Dirinastrum'' – 2 spp. *'' Diromma'' – 1 sp. *'' Enterodictyon'' – 2 spp. * *'' Enterographa'' – (ca. 30 and 25 orphaned) *'' Erythrodecton'' – 3 spp. *'' Feigeana'' – 1 sp. *'' Follmanniella'' – 1 sp. *'' Gorgadesia'' – 1 sp. *'' Graphidastra'' – 4 spp. *'' Gyrographa'' – 3 spp. *'' Gyronactis'' – 2 spp. *'' Halographis'' – 1 sp. ...

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 phylogenetics ...

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

Mount Kinabalu
Mount Kinabalu ( ms, Gunung Kinabalu, Dusun language, Dusun: ''Gayo Ngaran or Nulu Nabalu'') is the highest mountain in Borneo and Malaysia. With an elevation of , it is List of islands by highest point, third-highest peak of an island on Earth, and List of mountain peaks by prominence, 20th most prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence. The mountain is located in Ranau District, Ranau district, West Coast Division of Sabah, Malaysia. It is protected as Kinabalu Park, a World Heritage Site. In 1997, a re-survey using satellite technology established its summit (known as Low's Peak) height at above sea level, which is some less than the previously thought and hitherto published figure of .Anthea Phillipps, Phillipps, A. & Francis Liew, F.

Arthoniomycetes Genera
Arthoniomycetes are a class of ascomycete fungi. It includes two orders: Arthoniales and Lichenostigmatales. Most of the taxa in these orders are tropical and subtropical lichens. Systematics Phylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of this class. Dothideomycetes is a sister group. Characteristics Taxa have apothecia, cup- or saucer- shaped ascoma in which the hymenium The hymenium is the tissue layer on the hymenophore of a fungal fruiting body where the cells develop into basidia or asci, which produce spores. In some species all of the cells of the hymenium develop into basidia or asci, while in others some ... is exposed at maturity. These apothecia are bitunicate - with clearly differentiated inner and outer walls. References Fungus classes Lichen classes Taxa described in 1997 {{Arthoniomycetes-stub ...

Taxa Named By Harrie Sipman
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the intro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
