Rosmarie Honegger (born 1947) is a Swiss lichenologist and Emeritus Professor at the University of Zurich.

Academic career

Honegger was born in 1947 and grew up in Emmental, Switzerland. [1] She graduated with a PhD in biology from the University of Basel in 1976. In 1977 she accepted a postdoctoral research position in the Institute of Plant Biology at the University of Zurich. After a time working at the University of California, Riverside she returned to Switzerland as professor in the Institute of Plant Biology of the University of Zurich. [2] Honegger retired in 2009 [3] as Emeritus Professor. [4] From 2011 she worked with Dianne Edwards, a palaeobotanist at the Cardiff University on lichen fossils found on the Welsh borderland. [1] [5] [6]

Honegger was awarded the International Association for Lichenology's Acharius Medal for her lifetime work in lichenology in 2008 [7] and in 2015 she received the Linnean Medal recognising her contribution to the natural sciences. [8]

The standard author abbreviation Honegger is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. [9]

Among the lichens named in her honour is Xanthomendoza rosmarieae, described in 2011 by Sergei Yakovlevich Kondratyuk and Ingvar Kärnefelt. [10] [11]
