The Index Nominum Algarum

Abstract

Summary Silva, P. C. & Moe, R. L.: The Index Nominum Algarum. – Taxon 48: 351‐353. 1999. – ISSN 0040‐0262. The Index Nominum Algarum (ING) is an ongoing project with the goal of producing and maintaining an index of scientific names of algae, both living and fossil, at all ranks. Initiated by Silva in 1949, it now comprises about 180,000 entries. Although it is currently in the form of a card file housed in the Herbarium of the University of California at Berkeley, it is being converted into a database that will be searchable on‐line. Meanwhile, the cards, only about 10% of which are backed by an electronic file, have been archived as digital images on compact discs. An important by‐product of the INA is the Bibliographia Phycologica Universalis (BPU), which now comprises about 65,000 references. Both the INA and the BPU have been made available to the taxonomic community continuously since their inception.

Flora and newly recorded species of three colonial genera (Euteramorus, Coenocystis, and Gloeocystis) in freshwater chlorococcal green algae from Korea

“…Fig. 3d-3f Key Reference: Komarek (1979 (Silva 1996−to date) by Komarek (1979). This species was reported from eutrophic lakes, rivers, ditches, and ponds throughout the British Isles (John and Tsarenko 2002), in inundation lakes of Morava from Western and Southern Slovakia (Hindak 1977), and in lakes throughout Europe (Austria, Romania, Switzeland, Ukraina) and in Washington, USA (Komarek and Fott 1983).…”

Macroalgal community response to re-oligotrophication in Saronikos Gulf

“…Finally, photomicrographs and measurements were taken using a Leitz Ortholux microscope fitted with an Olympus μ1030 SW camera. For nomenclature purposes the following taxonomic databases were used: Index Nominum Algarum (Silva 2011) and AlgaeBase (Guiry & Guiry 2011).…”

Checklist of seaweeds of Cyprus (Mediterranean Sea)

“…Herbarium specimens have been deposited in the East Mediterranean Seaweed Herbarium at the Department of Botany, Faculty of Biology, University of Athens (Greece), and in the seaweed herbarium at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology, Celal Bayar University (Manisa, Turkey). For nomenclature purposes, the following taxonomic databases were used: Index Nominum Algarum (Silva 2014) and AlgaeBase (Guiry and Guiry 2014).…”

“…Marine macroalgal taxa reported in scientific journals and conference proceedings have been critically reviewed from present-day taxonomic and nomenclatural aspects, taking into account the on-line data provided by Silva (2014) and Guiry and Guiry (2014). On the other hand, technical reports, Bachelor and Master dissertations have not been considered here as they lack a rigorous peer review process in their preparation.…”
