title: LecyPages: The Lecythidaceae Pages in the Catalogue of Life

description: The Lecythidaceae is a family of tropical trees found in Africa, Madagascar, Southeast Asia, and the New World tropics. It reaches its greatest diversity in the Neotropics and is best known for the Brazil nut of commerce (Bertholletia excelsa) and the cannon-ball tree (Couroupita guianensis). The latter species, although native to the Neotropics, is planted as an ornamental and botanical curiosity in subtropical and tropical botanical gardens throughout the world. The database includes all names in the family with the status (accepted or unaccepted) and synonymy provided for each name. The names have been abstracted from the most recent monographs of the family. A more comprehensive database, especially of the New World species, is found as part of the Virtual Herbarium of The New York Botanical Garden.

title: SysMyr: Systematic Myriapod Database in the Catalogue of Life

description: SysMyr was developed by Jörg Spelda, in collaboration with the Bavarian State Collection for Zoology as a taxonomic backbone for the GBIF-D node 'Evertebrata II' and later updated in cooperation with Petra Sierwald's  Millibase project. SysMyr provides diverse information on over 30,000 names of Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Pauropoda and Symphyla. The acceptance status is automatically evaluated and depends on the latest citation found in the included literature. Since the  release of August 2012 all diplopod orders  have been updated to &gt; 90% completeness (only the Polydesmida perhaps less) with the synonymies critically checked. The present release (April 2013) adds newly described species and updates some synonymies and distributions mainly for species from the Balkans.

title: Zygomycetes in the Catalogue of Life

description: The Mucorales, Zoopagales, Dimargaritales and Kickxellales are characterised by a wide range of life strategies for such a relatively small number of phylogenetically related species. Whilst most are saprobic (in soil) others are pathogenic on plants, animals (including man) and other fungi, either facultatively and unspecialized or highly host specific. They are mainly mesophiles but some are psychrophiles and others thermophiles; most are temperate but some only have a tropical distribution and a number of species are very widely distributed, having been recorded from the Antarctic, high northern latitudes and both east and west in temperate and tropical zones.

title: Rhytismatales in the Catalogue of Life

description: The Rhytismatales, commonly referred to as ‘tar-spot’ fungi, are facultatively biotrophic, necrotrophic or saprobic on leaves and bark, sometimes also fruits, seeds and wood, frequently beginning as symptomless endobionts, later fruiting when the substratum has died. Those causing economic damage as needle diseases in conifers are the least poorly known. Their positive value as nutrient recyclers, and their possible protective role as endobionts is almost completely unevaluated. Most records are from the north temperate to subarctic zones, or from southern South America and Australasia; many collections are on conifers, the Ericaceae and Gramineae. Some species are widespread and plurivorous; others highly host-specific and limited in distribution.

title: Glomeromycota in the Catalogue of Life

description: The Glomeromycota are mycorrhiza forming fungi. Mycorrhiza (literally fungus-root) are mutualistic association of fungi with plant roots and the vast majority of plant species (probably &gt;95%) are associated with mycorrhizal fungi; strictly speaking, plants do not have roots, they have mycorrhiza. The most widely distributed mycorrhizal 'type', both through the plant kingdom (formed by about 80% of all vascular plants) and geographically, is an endomycorrhiza formed by the Glomeromycota and called arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM). In this, hyphae colonize plant cells and produce finely branched structures (the arbuscules). This symbiosis feeds most land plants, the arbuscules facilitating nutrient exchange and water uptake and, by carbohydrate transport to the soil, also represent a relevant terrestrial carbon sink.
