Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station

22 Nov, 09 AM - 06 Dec, 03 AM

The work to be done at the reserve is to collect specimens of higher fungi (ie mushrooms and relatives including lichens) as part of a study on fungal phylogeography by the Principle Investigator. The samples will be collected in as many different kinds of natural habitats and substrates as possible during the fieldwork. Dried herbarium specimens will be prepared from the collections after photographs and field notes have been taken for each collection. Species identifications, DNA sequencing, and subsequent phylogeographical analysis will be done in the laboratory of the Principle Investigator. after the field work is done. It is anticipated that sampling will also be done outside the reserve on one of the atolls in the Tuamotu Islands (Ahe).
