There is no congruence in diversity of the three groups of organisms studied. It is inferred that their differences in biological and ecological characteristics as well as their ranges of dispersal are responsible for the distinct patterns of distribution in the landscape. It is proposed that the strategy for biodiversity conservation should consider landscape-level conservation in order to capture the range of biodiversity that exists outside the formal reserve network in Kodagu. While maintaining the integrity of the strictly protected forest reserve; of traditionally conserved sacred forests; and of privately owned coffee plantations is essential, conservation practice should emphasise the involvement of local communities in management of landscape rather than imposing biodiversity conservation by force.

Ο σκοπός της παρούσας διατριβής ήταν να μελετηθούν αντιπροσωπευτικά νησιά των Κυκλάδων και να καταγραφεί ο μεγαλύτερος αριθμός ειδών μακρομυκήτων (βασιδιομυκήτων του υποφύλου Agaricomycotina). Μετά από συστηματική μελέτη των νησιών Άνδρος, Νάξος και Αμοργός, περισσότερα από 1500 δείγματα μανιταριών συλλέχθηκαν, περιγράφηκαν και μελετήθηκαν ως προς τα μακροσκοπικά και μικροσκοπικά χαρακτηριστικά τους. Η μέθοδος που ακολουθήθηκε περιγράφεται εκτενώς και όλο το λυλλεχθέν βιολογικό υλικό φυλάσσεται στην συλλογή αποξηραμένων δειγμάτων του Γεωπονικού Πναεπιστημίου Αθηνών (L.G.A.M.-A.U.A.). Τα αποτελέσματα της εργασίας αυτής συμπεριλαμβάνουν την καταγραφή 450 ειδών /ποικιλιών (taxa) τα οποία ανήκουν σε 141 γένη. Τέσσερα από αυτά αποτελούν νέα είδη για την επιστήμη, δύο είδη αναφέρονται για πρώτη φορά στην Ευρωπαϊκή ήπειρο, έξι γένη και 148 taxa (κατώτερων ταξινομικών βαθμίδων) αναφέρονται για πρώτη φορά στην Ελλάδα. / The main goal of this dissertation was the study of representative islands of Cyclades in regard to the diversity of macrofungi (basidiomycetes, subphylum Agaricomycotina). In the frame of this work tha major islands of Cyclades Andros, Naxos and Amorgos were selected for field work. More than 1500 specimens were collected. described and studied as regards their macroscopic and microscopic features. The methodology is presented in details, while all the collected biological material is deposited in the fungarium of the Laboratory of General and Agricultural Microbiology of the Agricultural University of Athens (L.G.A.M.-A.U.A.). The results of this study were the inventory of 450 taxa of basidiomycetes, belonging to 141 genera. Four species are new for science, six genera and `48 taxa of lower taxonomic level were recorded for the first time in Greece, while two species were recorded for the first time in European continent.

(Caatinga). Fourteen species were recorded: G. entomophilum, G. fimbriatum, G. hirsutum, G. javanicum, G. lageniforme, G. lloydianum, G. minimum, G. morganii, G. ovalisporum, G. pectinatum, G. saccatum, G. schweinitzii, G. setiferum and G. triplex. Of these species, eleven occurred in the Atlantic Forest and six in the Caatinga. A new species has been recorded to science, G. entomophilum, other as a first record for Brazil, G. morganii, six new records for the Northeast, and ten new records for Rio Grande do Norte. The material was tumbled in the Herbarium UFRN. Additionally, a survey of the species of the genus deposited in the Herbarium UFRN was accomplished, resulting in 244 herbarium specimens belonging to thirty-three species. Of these ones, twenty-three were collected in Brazil and ten are from Czech Republic, Europe, as donation from the VZ Herbarium / Um levantamento taxon?mico de representantes do g?nero Geastrum foi realizado no per?odo chuvoso de 2006 a 2009 em tr?s localidades do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, a saber: Parque Estadual Dunas do Natal (Mata Atl?ntica); Mata do Jiqui (Mata Atl?ntica); e Esta??o Ecol?gica do Serid? (Caatinga). Quatorze esp?cies foram registradas: G. entomophilum, G. fimbriatum, G. hirsutum, G. javanicum, G. lageniforme, G. lloydianum, G. minimum, G. morganii, G. ovalisporum, G. pectinatum, G. saccatum, G. schweinitzii, G. setiferum e G. triplex. Destas, onze esp?cies ocorreram na Mata Atl?ntica e seis na Caatinga. Uma esp?cie nova para ci?ncia foi registrada, G. entomophilum; um primeiro registro para o Brasil, G. morganii; seis novos registros para o Nordeste; e dez novos registros para o Rio Grande do Norte. O material foi tombado no Herb?rio UFRN. Adicionalmente, foi realizado um levantamento das esp?cies do g?nero depositadas no Herb?rio UFRN, resultando em 244 exsicatas, pertencentes a trinta e tr?s esp?cies. Destas, vinte e tr?s foram coletadas no Brasil, e dez s?o procedentes da Europa, Rep?blica Tcheca, doa??o do Herb?rio VZ
