This website provides a cumulative checklist for the lichen-forming, lichenicolous and allied fungi of the continental United States of America and Canade. The checklist consists of cumulative updates to the most recently published North American checklist by Esslinger and Egan (1995). The style and conventions for listings used in the publication are also generally followed here. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This page links to 17 index pages: 16 of them provide links to photos of identified lichens, including those that are identified to genus but not to species. It also links to an index page providing access to about 300 "mystery" lichens that are completely or partially unidentified, and a page that links to topics in lichen natural history. There are about 7,000 photos on the site, illustrating approximately 1,275 species. Most of the photos were taken for the book, Lichens of North America, with text by Dr. Irwin Brodo, published in 2001 by Yale University Press. There are two photos by others. Almost all are from the continental U.S. and Canada, but there are some from Baja California, Mexico, and a few from southern France. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Ways Lichen Photogallery is the first phase in a parallel flora project for the lichens of western North America, north to the Beaufort Sea, south to Baja, and east to the 105th meridian. In its present form our gallery contains only photographs, albeit rather a lot of them: 6510 images of 1533 species in 316 genera. ... [Information of the supplier]
Although the test of time has long proved the value of the Moss Flora of North America as a necessary resource in any bryological laboratory, the three volumes are costly, voluminous, and often of two broad a scope for the requirements of local use. In the New England spirit of frugality, this new publication by Mr. Lauren D. Howard provides a regional abstract of Grout's flora with shortened keys and descriptions; an added, extensive glossary; and a most welcome, updated nomenclature. It should prove especially useful in classrooms where its convenient size and price will allow each student, in effect, to own a part of a classic of North American botany. ...

The New York Botanical Garden American Bryophyte Catalog is a project to catalog all the specimens of bryophytes in The New York Botanical Garden Herbarium from the western hemisphere. Phase I resulted in an electronic catalog of approximately 250,000 bryophyte specimens from Canada, Greenland and the United States, which are available for searching from this page. Phase II: Bryophytes of Central America, Mexico and the West Indies, is nearing completion. Phase III will complete the project by cataloging specimens from South America (approximately 140,000). When completed, the American Bryophyte Catalog, which will consist of approximately 500,000 specimen records. This total will represent 75% of the NYBG's holdings of bryophyte specimens. ...

This glossary contains 1181 English terms and their definitions from the original publication of mosses, as well as French, German, and Spanish translations.

This site provides computational biology resources that are related to the genome/transcriptome of the model plant Physcomitrella patens. The Physcomitrella genome has been sequenced by whole-genome shotgun at the JGI (why?). The version 1.1 of the assembled and annotated genome has been released to the public in April 2007. The data are available e.g. for BLASTing on this site, the JGI genome browser is available here. ... [Information of the supplier]
For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes, with the first being physiological ecology, but including an introduction to the broad classification of phyla and classes, morphology, structures, and life cycles. Communities, habitats, roles, and uses, among others, are in various stages of completion. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Seit 1984 werden in der Schweiz die Moose im Rahmen des Projektes "Nationales Inventar der Schweizer Moosflora" kartiert. Die schweizerische Vereinigung für Bryologie und Lichenologie (BRYOLICH) übernimmt die Trägerschaft. Eine Kartierkommission berät die Projektleitung in wichtigen Fragen.Das Hauptziel ist ein Atlas mit Rasterkarten auf naturräumlicher Basis von allen sicher unterscheidbaren Moos-Sippen der Schweiz. Das erste Nahziel war eine Rote Liste. Die erste Fassung wurde 1992 publiziert (Urmi et al. 1992), eine vollständig revidierte Fassung folgte 2004 (Schnyder et al. 2004). Einige Verbreitungskarten sind in diversen Publikationen veröffentlicht worden. Daneben wurde ein provisorischer Verbreitungsatlas zuhanden der Kartierer angefertigt, damit Verbreitungslücken und Fehler erkannt werden können. Für seltene Moosarten wurde ein Artenschutzkonzept erarbeitet (Urmi et al. 1996). ... [Information des Anbieters]
