Abstract Jørgen Koch introduced mycologists to a unique habitat for marine fungi, namely the sand dunes of Grønhøj, Jutland, Denmark. The high diversity of marine fungi obtained from the site provided abundant sporulating structures for a number of research areas in marine mycology including ecological surveys, ultrastructure examination of ascospore appendage development, spore attachment studies and phylogeny. This review highlights the key observations in these areas. Also, a list of 102 species of marine fungi documented for Denmark is provided.

AbstractA survey of driftwood and mangrove wood in South Australia revealed a high diversity of marine fungi. Across eight sites there were 43 species of marine fungi, of which 42 are new records for South Australia, 11 new records for Australia and 12 taxa currently of uncertain status likely to be new species. Sites had distinctive species compositions with the largest difference attributable to substrate type (beach driftwood vs. mangrove wood). However, even between mangrove sites, species assemblages were distinctly different with only the more common species occurring at all mangrove sites. More intensive surveys across a broader range of habitats and geographic locations should reveal significantly more species.

Among 27 species of marine fungi recovered from natural substrata by the direct collecting procedure, found on the Hawaiian Islands Hawaii, Kauai, Maui, and Oahu (19 Ascomycetes and 8 Deuteromycetes), 22 were new locality and 12 were new Pacific Ocean records. Eight species and Helicascus kanaloanus Kohlm. gen. et sp. nov. (Pleosporaceae?) and Robillarda rhizophorae Kohlm. sp. nov. (Sphaeropsidaceae) occurred on roots of Rhizophora mangle L. Substrates not considered before in marine mycology were submerged branches and roots of Hibiscus tiliaceus L. (seven fungal species) and Pluchea × fosbergii Cooper-rider et Galang (four species). Algae contained three fungi, and foam collections four arenicolous species. Hyphomycetes known from freshwater foam in Hawaii were not found in foam along the seashore. Collections of driftwood and pilings contained 14 species. The origin of the Hawaiian marine fungal flora is discussed. Host-specific Keissleriella blepharospora and Cytospora sp. appear to have been introduced from Florida to Hawaii with seedlings of Rhizophora in 1902. Conidia of R. rhizophorae were able to germinate after freezing at −20 C for 6 months and after repeated thawing and refreezing. Half of the species collected were isolated and growth in pure culture is described. Periconia prolifica Anast. was determined as the imperfect state of Remispora cucullata Kohlm. by use of single ascospore isolations.

The boreal forest in Canada comprises a wide variety of ecosystems, including stabilized (overgrown) sand dunes, often referred to as sand hills. Globally, sandy soils are known for supporting a high diversity of invertebrates, including ants, but little is known for boreal systems. We used pitfall trap sampling in sand hill, aspen parkland and peatland ecosystems to compare their ant diversity and test the prediction that areas with sandy soils have higher invertebrate diversity compared to more mesic/organic soils. Overall, sand hills had ~45% more ant species compared to other sampled ecosystems from Alberta. Similar to other studies, local canopy cover within sand hills was found to be inversely related to ant species richness and diversity. Although sand hills are rare across the region, they are high biodiversity areas for ants, with the sand hills of north-central Alberta having higher species richness of ants compared to other studied areas in Canada.

AbstractThis article introduces the November 2005 issue of MRS Bulletin on the life and works of Arthur Robert von Hippel, who pioneered the interdisciplinary approach to materials research. This issue of MRS Bulletin celebrates his long life, his large volume of work, and the overall impact he had on materials research as practiced today. This introductory article summarizes the start and progression of the various fields presented in this issue, and how many were inspired directly by von Hippel's work and ways, and how new fields continue to emerge based on the same foundations of interdisciplinarity. The articles in this issue cover research areas in which von Hippel was involved, namely, ferroelectrics and magnetism; fields that thrived on an interdisciplinary approach that von Hippel represented, such as semiconductors; and areas that reflect his own vision about materials research and interests later in life, including molecular design and biomaterials. Before the scientific work is presented, the issue begins with a personal sketch of von Hippel, contributed by his son Frank N. von Hippel.

Professor Orlando Zelaya Angel was an outstanding member of the research community on Solid State Physics. He served as President to the Sociedad Mexicana de Ciencia de Superficies y Vacío (SMCSyV; currently Sociedad Mexicana de Ciencia y Tecnología de Superficies y Materiales – SMCTSM), for the period 1995-1996. Professor Zelaya formed many researchers in Mexico, who continue developing research, either in Mexico, in their countries of origin, or abroad. Throughout the evolution of Superficies y Vacío, Professor Zelaya, contributed with sixteen articles on subjects ranging from thin films for optoelectronic applications, through hard coatings and studies on the process for production of Tortillas; covering most of his research areas of interest. Here is a subject-chronological compilation of the abstracts to his articles in Superficies y Vacío, after a year of his departure.
