SUMMARY:Myxomycetes at Black Sugarloaf\, northern Tasmania – a slime mo(u)ld hotspot
DESCRIPTION:The taxonomic position of slime moulds has baffled naturalists and scientists for centuries. When “the father of taxonomy” Swedish botanists Carl Linneus devised his system of classification he included slime moulds (and fungi) in the plant kingdom. Slime moulds were subsequently placed in various kingdoms but are now regarded as amoebozoans.\nSarah Lloyd has observed slime moulds in a eucalypt forest at Birralee Tasmania for 13 years. It is now considered a hotspot for myxomycetes\, with over 120 species documented from the site including 4 hitherto undescribed species\, one new genus and more new species awaiting further study. In this webinar Sarah will discuss these and also describe the important ecological roles of slime moulds. \nSarah Lloyd has had a lifelong love of birds\, and since 1988 when she moved to live in a forest at Black Sugarloaf\, Birralee in central north Tasmania\, an interest in plants\, bryophytes\, fungi and slime moulds. She has contributed to several citizen science projects including the Australian Bird Count\, and Fungimap\, a project to record Australia’s undocumented fungal species. It was through Fungimap that Sarah was introduced to slime moulds. In 2019 she was awarded an OAM (Order of Australia medal) for “services to conservation – and slime moulds”. She is author of numerous books\, including Where the Slime Moulds Creep (4th Edition\, 2022).\nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
