Good news! The Bermuda Zoological Society has awarded us a sum of money to subsidize our last trip to Bermuda. Many thanks to Annie Glasspool and her team for their support.

I'm happy to report that it was a successful trip; Franz & I met for the
very first time (after we have corresponded for over a year), and we agreed to submit our first paper for publication in January (watch this space). We found many new species, both new to Bermuda and new to science (see our checklist, also on this site, under construction).

From October 31 through November 6, 2007, Franz Berger & Scott LaGreca will once again be collecting lichens in Bermuda. Funding for this trip has been requested from the Bermuda Zoological Society (BZS). We look forward to some interesting collections, and potential new collaborations with the Bermuda Dept of Conservation Services, Bermuda Aquarium Museum & Zoo (BAMZ) and the Bermuda Biodiversity Project.
