September12017Symposium Week 2017Registration
Venue: Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, Uithof, Utrecht
Registration€ 40.-
The symposium discusses speciation in fungi, and naming entities below the species level. In the past, these were dealt with as formae, formae specialis, varieties, races, subspecies and pathovars. Given novel information about hybridisation, disposable chromosomes, toxins and gene flow, the question now arises how to recognise and name species and intraspecies variation. The symposium includes keynote lectures by prominent scientists, as well as selected talks from abstracts, and poster presentations.
(Papers to be published as a special volume)
