Policies Handbook on Using Molecular Collections.
The access to molecular collections worldwide greatly improves the quality of scientific research by making a growing number of data available for investigation. The efforts on digitisation also aim at facilitating the exchange of material between institutions and researchers that must follow regulations in place and respect best practice. The... -

How to publish a new fungal species, or name, version 3.0.
It is now a decade since (ICTF) produced an overview of requirements and best practices for describing a new fungal species. In the meantime the (ICNafp) has changed from its former name (the ) and introduced new formal requirements for valid publication of species scientific names, including the separation of... -

Setting scientific names at all taxonomic ranks in italics facilitates their quick recognition in scientific papers
It is common practice in scientific journals to print genus and species names in italics. This is not only historical as species names were traditionally derived from Greek or Latin. Importantly, it also facilitates the rapid recognition of genus and species names when skimming through manuscripts. However, names above the...Thines, Marco ; Aoki, Takayuki ; Crous, Pedro W. ; Hyde, Kevin D. ; Lücking, Robert …

SYNTHESYS+ Virtual Access - Report on the Ideas Call (October to November 2019)
The SYNTHESYS consortium has been operational since 2004, and has facilitated physical access by individual researchers to European natural history collections through its Transnational Access programme (TA). For the first time, SYNTHESYS+ will be offering virtual access to collections through digitisation, with two calls for the programme, the first in...Hardy, Helen ; Knapp, Sandra ; Allan, E.

Unambiguous identification of fungi: where do we stand and how accurate and precise is fungal DNA barcoding?
True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (e.g. Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 million predicted species. Compared to plants and animals, fungi have simple body plans with often morphologically and ecologically obscure structures. This poses challenges for accurate and...
