Celebrating 75th anniversary of MycopathologiaIt was founded in 1938 as an international journal devoted to the study of the role of fungi in human and animal disease. Many of the milestones discoveries in the field of medical mycology have been communicated through the pages of this journal. A special commemorative issue is planned at the end of 2013 to mark this occasion. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief or the Publishing Editor to share your stories or suggestions in this special year of festivities. This journal publishes original articles and case reports highlighting important developments in the fields of medical and veterinary mycology. Mycopathologia covers a diverse, interdisciplinary range of topics that is unique in breadth and depth. We also welcome papers on systematics and taxonomy of fungi involved in these fields. Timely opinion articles, mini-reviews and other communications are usually invited at the discretion of the editorial board.The Editor-in-Chief is Vishnu Chaturvedi, New York Sta

Mycorrhiza is an international journal devoted to research into mycorrhizas - the widest symbioses in nature, involving plants and a range of soil fungi world-wide. The journal covers research into mycorrhizas, including molecular biology of the plants and fungi, fungal systematics, development and structure of mycorrhizas, and effects on plant physiology, productivity, reproduction and disease resistance. Coverage extends to interactions between mycorrhizal fungi and other soil organisms, and effects of mycorrhizas on plant biodiversity and ecosystem structure. Mycorrhiza presents original papers, short notes and review articles, along with commentaries and news items. It offers a platform for new concepts and discussions, and serves as the basis for a forum of mycorrhizologists from around the world. Managing Editors: Vivienne Gianinazzi-Pearson, Dijon, France, and Randy Molina, Gresham, Oregon, USA Mycorrhiza is the official organ of the International Mycorrhiza Society.

Mycoscience is the official English-language journal of the Mycological Society of Japan and is issued bimonthly. Mycoscience publishes original research articles and reviews on various topics related to fungi including yeasts and other organisms that have traditionally been studied by mycologists. The research areas covered by Mycoscience extend from such purely scientific fields as systematics, evolution, phylogeny, morphology, ecology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, to agricultural, medical, and industrial applications. New and improved applications of well-established mycological techniques and methods are also covered.

Im Mittelpunkt der Zeitschrift Natur und Recht steht das gesamte Recht des ökologischen Natur- und Umweltschutzes. Darüber hinaus wird auch das Recht behandelt, das der Natur zusetzt: Dies sind vor allem das Bau- und Fachplanungsrecht. Auch das Immissionsschutz-, Abfall-, Wasser-, Bodenschutz- und Landesplanungsrecht gehören zum Themenspektrum der Natur und Recht, ebenso wie das umweltrelevante Jagd-, Fischerei-, Forst- und Landwirtschaftsrecht. Schließlich finden das Tierschutz- und Denkmalschutzrecht eine Plattform., .
