Dr Melissa MARDONES HIDALGO
Co-Chair
Melissa Mardones is a mycologist, focused on the study of the diversity of fungi in Costa Rica and the taxonomy and systematics of ascomycetes, mainly plant parasitic fungi. She is a researcher and associate professor at the Department of Biology, and curator of the Fungal Collection at the Herbarium USJ, at the University of Costa Rica.
MISSION
Promote the conservation of ascomycete fungi by raising awareness that they have vital roles as nutrient recyclers, mutualistic symbionts of animals and plants, and as checks and balances in freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and that like animals, plants and other fungi, they are endangered by climate change, habitat destruction, persecution and pollution.
Specialist Group work
We plan to have the basic infrastructure within 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 to enable the conservation of ascomycete fungi to be promoted, with global Red List evaluations for at least 150 species.聽
Evaluate non-lichen-forming ascomycetes for the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List, particularly those with human food value.
