[IUFRO Div 7] ITMN Online seminar with Barbara Bentz January 25 (5 pm CET)

Dear all, The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality, continues the online seminar series join on *January 25, 5 pm CET / 9 am MT*, with: *Dr. Barbara Bentz* *Title: ***Recipes for Climate-Induced Bark Beetle-Caused Tree Mortality**** _Abstract:_ Globally, native bark beetles are contributing to increases in tree mortality and changes in climate are playing significant roles. Projecting future trends will be complicated by environmentally determined, evolved traits in both host trees and insects. Ingredients for bark beetle population success in future climates will be discussed. _Bio:_ Barbara Bentz is a Research Entomologist with the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station located in Logan, Utah. For 30+ years she has studied multiple aspects of bark beetle population dynamics at multiple scales. *Please register for the Zoom Webinar: * https://zoom.us/webinar/register/1716400974864/WN_ew7RqVpJSpCdbdt38lp9bw Note that the talks might be recorded. * * *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/snUSGNb9bAQ Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon https://youtu.be/5wmzX9ldn4Q Seminar #3: Belinda Medlyn https://youtu.be/T6S9VKklbyc Seminar #4: Nate McDowell https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA Seminar #5: Lisa Hülsmann https://youtu.be/Yzsa0p7lq7c Seminar #6: Craig D Allen https://youtu.be/5NlkIQOzl2Y <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NlkIQOzl2Y> Seminar #7: Yude Pan https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE <https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE> Seminar #8: Viacheslav Kharuk https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA <https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE> *Visit us at:* https://www.tree-mortality.net/ https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ -- --- Dr. (habil.)
