The United Nations General Assembly declared 2011 as the International Year of Forests to raise awareness on sustainable management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests. vifabio collects the most important internet sources together for you.
You will find more biological web resources in our Internet Guide - a catalogue of annotated and evaluated internet sites.
Since 1943 the Bibliography of Systematic Mycology (BSM) has provided a survey of the literature encompassing the biodiversity, classification, distribution, evolution, identification, nomenclature, phylogeny, systematics and taxonomy of fungi (including those groups traditionally treated as fungi but now better classified in other kingdoms). The printed BSM provides full bibliographic details of relevant literature from books, conference proceedings, monographs and serials arranged under broad taxonomic categories, with author and generic indexes, and is published twice a year, cumulating into a volume over five years. Some 1500-2000 items per annum give comprehensive cover of both the pure and applied systematic mycological literature, from the level of kingdom right down to population. Book reviews and notices are also included. A back-file of these records covering the period from 1986 is now searchable on-line using genus or author names. The editor (Ken Hudson) would be grateful to receive notice of any significant omissions and also welcomes copies of publications for future inclusion. Full publication details for articles appearing in the last five years are not available on-line. All publications will include a reference to the entry in the printed version of the BSM. ...

DALI, a "Database of Ascomycete Literature", comprises references which pertain systematic and taxonomic studies of ascomycetes. Within that, it primarily deals with the Lecanorales, Leotiales and the ecological group of lichenicolous fungi, but includes references to pyrenocarpous, erysiphalean and mitosporic fungi as well. The database also provides access to information about molecular data relevant to ascomycete systematics. The literature is arranged in nine categories containing taxonomic, biological and methodological topics. The current database contains more than 7,000 records. The maximum numbers of hits returned per search is set to 250. Most of the references in the database have been verified, that is they have been checked for accuracy against the original. Nevertheless, typing and other errors can occur. ... [Information of the supplier]
Mycological literature is extensive, diverse and often dispersed. The objective of this website is to facilitate access to that literature by providing bibliographic lists of references. The present version of the site provides extensive bibliographic information for mycological publications, most dating from the early 1800s to the 1980s, and covering many works in Russian and Ukrainian. As such, it complements other mycological bibliographic sources on the internet, which concentrate on recent literature and do not attempt to present Cyrillic information in its original form (for example Bibliography of Systematic Mycology and the literature database available on line from the USDA Systematic Botany & Mycology Laboratory). Like the two other mycological bibliographic sources mentioned, this library provides search facilities, so that all available references to work by a specified author can be requested. Unlike those other sources, however, the present site also permits browsing. In addition, the present site provides hyperlinks through those bibliographic records to scanned images of the works to which they refer. The task of scanning existing mycological literature is enormous and is unlikely to be achieved through any single initiative. The present site is therefore offered in a spirit of co-operation with Libri Fungorum and other sites which may be planned or in preparation, and every effort will be made to collaborate with such sites to avoid duplication of effort. As those sites come on-line, they will be advertized here. Future versions of the present site will improve the still incomplete coverage of 19th and 20th century literature, and add information about older and more recent works, with a particular emphasis on earlier publications and non-Latin alphabet publications. Some efforts will also be made to provide indexes allowing access to works dealing with particular fungal groups, associated organism groups, countries and other topics. Access to scanned images will also be increased. Availability of those images will always be limited by copyright. As a result, the scanning programme will prioritize two areas: the first, key early mycological works, which are scientifically important, often hard to access and beyond the restrictions of copyright, and the second, more recent mycological works where the copyright owner consents to their reproduction. ...

Mit der Zeitschrift für Mykologie, in der deutschsprachige Artikel publiziert werden, erstrebt die DGfM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Mykologie) eine auf den deutschsprachigen Raum zentrierte Vermittlung mykologischen und pilzkundlichen Wissens. Das Journal Mycological Progress veröffentlicht wissenschaftliche Beiträge in Englisch und dient damit eher dem internationalen Wissenstransfer. Der Zeitschrift für Mykologie sind die DGfM-Mitteilungen beigeschlossen. Sie konzentrieren sich als vereinsbezogenes Publikationsorgan auf vereinsinterne Mitteilungen, Bekanntgabe von Terminen und Vorstandsbeschlüssen, interessante Kurzmeldungen und Mitteilungen bezüglich Tätigkeit von Pilzsachverständigen. Die Serie Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für Mykologie ist hauptsächlich längeren Beiträgen vorbehalten. Die DGfM hat gemeinsam mit dem Landesgesundheitsamt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern einen Leitfaden für Pilzsachverständige herausgebracht. Mit Unterstützung der DGfM wurde von Mitgliedern der pilzkundlichen Vereine und Arbeitsgemeinschaften Augsburg, München und Ulm eine Lehrposterserie über Pilze entwickelt. ...
