    Natural: my adventures as a redhead

    No full text
    In this collection of themed essays, the author explores her life as a natural redhead, and addresses cultural stigmas and stereotypes, as well as issues of identity, belonging, and sexuality. In an effort to better understand her experience of the world, and what it means to be a redhead, the author travels to the fictional home of Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables, to an international redhead festival in the Netherlands, and back through her own upbringing as the only red-haired member of her family.M.F.A.by Shelby Vitte

    A Situated Display for local community participation: The design and use of Nnub

    No full text
    This paper discusses the design and use of a digital community noticeboard (called Nnub) located at a suburban general store. The intention is to design Information and Communication Technology (ICT) such as Situated Displays and Internet Technologies to support local communications. We use a Reflective, Agile, and Iterative Design (RAID) framework to evolve the technology, aiming to engage local residents in creating an evolving collection of images, notices and scribbles by the community and for the community. A key contribution of this work is the understanding of the interaction requirements needed to support and engage the local community that were discovered through the iterative design and deployment method

    Synopsis of proposals on fungal nomenclature: a review of the proposals concerning Chapter F of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants submitted to the XI International Mycological Congress, 2018

    No full text
    A commentary is provided on the seven formally published proposals to modify the provisions of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) that will be dealt with by the Fungal Nomenclature Session (FNS) of the 11th International Mycological Congress (IMC11) in July 2018. The proposals deal with four issues: (1) clarification of the meaning of “original material” in relation to the typification of sanctioned names; (2) indication of the nomenclatural status of sanctioned names in author citations; (3) use of DNA sequences as nomenclatural types; and (4) use of repository identifiers as an alternative to author citations. Information is also provided on the composition and role of the Fungal Nomenclature Bureau and the operation of the FNS and the pre-Congress Guiding vote

    The genus <i>Strobilurus</i> (Agaricales) in Canada with notes on extralimital species

    No full text
    Strobilurus albipilatus, S. occidentalis, and S. trullisatus are described and illustrated from Canadian material. Strobilurus lignitilis, Marasmius uliginosus, and Prunulus myceliosus are considered to be synonyms of S. albipilatus. Strobilurus kemptonae is considered to be a synonym of S. trullisatus. Geographic and host ranges are expanded for all three species. Notes on extralimital species and a key to all recognized Strobilurus species are presented. </jats:p

    Competing sexual-asexual generic names in Agaricomycotina (Basidiomycota) with recommendations for use

    No full text
    With the change to one scientific name for fungal taxa, generic names typified by species with sexual or asexual morph types are being evaluated to determine which names represent the same genus and thus compete for use. In this paper generic names of the Agaricomycotina ( Basidiomycota ) were evaluated to determine synonymy based on their type. Forty-seven sets of sexually and asexually typified names were determined to be congeneric and recommendations are made for which generic name to use. In most cases the principle of priority is followed. However, 16 generic names are recommended for use that do not have priority and thus need to be protected: Aleurocystis over Matula; Armillaria over Acurtis and Rhizomorpha; Asterophora over Ugola; Botryobasidium over Acladium , Allescheriella, Alysidium, Haplotrichum , Physospora, and Sporocephalium; Coprinellus over Ozonium; Coprinopsis over Rhacophyllus; Dendrocollybia over Sclerostilbum and Tilachlidiopsis; Diacanthodes over Bornetina; Echinoporia over Echinodia; Neolentinus over Digitellus; Postia over Ptychogaster; Riopa over Sporotrichum; Scytinostroma over Artocreas, Michenera , and Stereofomes; Tulasnella over Hormomyces; Typhula over Sclerotium; and Wolfiporia over Gemmularia and Pachyma. Nine species names are proposed for protection: Botryobasidium aureum, B. conspersum , B. croceum , B. simile, Pellicularia lembosporum (syn. B. lembosporum ), Phanerochaete chrysosporium , Polyporus metamorphosus (syn. Riopa metamorphosa ), Polyporus mylittae (syn. Laccocephalum mylittae ), and Polyporus ptychogaster (syn . Postia ptychogaster ). Two families are proposed for protection: Psathyrellaceae and Typhulaceae . Three new species names and 30 new combinations are established, and one lectotype is designated
