Curator Co-Authors New Book Exploring the Ecology and Biodiversity of the Great Smoky Mountains
Erin Tripp, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary biology as well as Curator of Botany at the University of Colorado is the coauthor of a new, comprehensive book on the lichens of Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP), the most visited and among the most biologically diverse national parks in the United States. Published by the University of Tennessee Press, Field Guide to the Lichens of Great Smoky Mountains National Park will be available in May in paperback or PDF. The book explores the park’s 909 recognized species of lichens, making it the most lichenologically diverse national park in the United States and containing nearly half of all species known to occur in eastern North America. It also contains extensive background natural history of the Smokies, a primer on lichen biology, and other introductory text.
Tripp’s other works include Field Guide to the Lichens of White Rocks along with two other books, and publications in prestigious scientific journals, such as Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Journal of Biogeography, Systematic Botany, and Molecular Ecology. Both lichen field guides will be available in the CU Museum’s Gift Gallery at a later date.
