Rosmarie Honegger (born 1947) is a Swiss lichenologist and Emeritus Professor at the University of Zurich.
Honegger was born in 1947 and grew up in Emmental, Switzerland.[1] She developed an early interest in plants, and was recommended to study lichens by a biology teacher. This led to a research project involving compiling a flora of her home town, which, in 1967, led to her earning a prize at an international science fair in San Francisco. The same year, she began studies at the University of Basel.[2]
Honegger earned her PhD in biology from the University of Basel in 1976. Her doctoral research examined the structure and function of the ascus (the spore-bearing structure) in the lichen genus Lecanora, using microscopic techniques.[2] 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.[3] Honegger retired in 2009[4] as Emeritus Professor.[5] From 2011 she worked with Dianne Edwards, a palaeobotanist at the Cardiff University on lichen fossils found on the Welsh borderland.[1][6][7]
Honegger was awarded the International Association for Lichenology's Acharius Medal for her lifetime work in lichenology in 2008[8] and in 2015 she received the Linnean Medal recognising her contribution to the natural sciences.[9] She was one of the "Fifty influential lichenologists" discussed in Ingvar Kärnefelt's 2011 review of the scientific progress of lichenology and the scientists who study it.[2]
The standard author abbreviation Honegger is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[10]
Among the lichens named in her honour is Xanthomendoza rosmarieae, described in 2011 by Sergey Kondratyuk and Kärnefelt.[11][12]
