Résumé
Biosystematics is the science of studying biodiversity and its relationships in nature. It aims to divide the biodiversity into monophyletic taxa of different grades based on their relationships, such as species, genera, families, orders, classes, phyla, and kingdoms.Homologous biosystematics is to comb diverse organisms in nature into different classes of monophyletic taxa according to their homologous characteristics. The homologous characteristics are inherited from both the genotype and phenotype of the same ancestor, and they have been associated with divergent evolution. In this book, the author presents the result of a homology analysis of homologous characteristics in the specimens of the Umbilicariaceae from the world. It contains an introduction, biosystematics, and taxonomy, which contains 125 species respectively belonging to the genera Lasallia and Umbilicaria including 34 new species with one new form and one new name. Each species has one or more color photographs attached. The references cited and index of scientific names for taxa are also attached.

Jiang-Chun WEI was born in China in 1931. Ph.D., Dr. Sci., academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is a Research Professor, Principal Investigator at the State Key Laboratory of Mycology, Institute of Microbiology (CAS), and Professor Honorary Speaker of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). His main research subjects are the biosystematics of lichens, particularly the homologous biosystematics of the family Umbilicariceae worldwide. He also led his team to sequence and analyze the first genome of lichenized fungi in the world and discover a large number of drought-resistant genes in it, and open up new prospects for lichen drought-resistance gene utilization and the implementation of desert biological carpet engineering.
