Dear Colleagues,
With great optimism, the Scientific Organizing Committee would like to
announce the new dates of 20-24 September, 2021 for the IUFRO conference,
"Biological Invasions in Forests: Trade, Ecology and Management" to be held
in Prague, Czech Republic. This is a joint meeting of IUFRO units:
7.03.12 - Alien Invasive Species and International Trade
7.03.07 - Population Dynamics of Forest Insects
8.02.04 - Ecology of Alien Invasives
The conference is hosted by the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague
Beginning in February we will accept submissions of abstracts for oral and
poster presentations on topics including:
- Invasions of non-native insects, tree pathogens, plants and other
organisms in forest ecosystems
- The role of trade and travel as pathways for invasions
- Ecology and impact of non-native species in forests
- Management of invasions / biosecurity
Registration will also open in February.

Dear colleagues,
My best wishes for a very beautiful year 2021.
With its share of bad news, the end of the year 2020 was no exception to
the rule. Just before Christmas, we learned that our former colleague
Michel Morelet passed away at 82.
Michel was a great mycologist and taxonomist, specialist in the
systematics of Deuteromycetes. His contribution to etiology and
systematics in forest pathology has been substantial. He was one of the
"founding members" of the Forest Pathology Laboratory of INRA in Nancy,
France. All those who knew him will remember him as a passionate man,
jovial and endowed with a very sharp sense of humor.
You can find here <https://mycor.nancy.inra.fr/IAM/?p=10663> an obituary
of Michel Morelet.
Best regards,
Pascal

Dear all:
We have formed a new coordination team for the IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 on Resource Data in the Tropics. The focus of the Working Party will be on legacy tropical forest data sets: finding them, getting them and their metadata archived in an up-to-date digital format, and getting these data available for use, with appropriate protocols and credit to the sources of the data.
We invite you to join our email list at <https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/> https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/ , where we discuss issues related to these datasets.

Dear colleagues,
You are all invited to participate in a survey assessing attitudes towards women in forest entomology and pathology coordinated by Drs. Jess Hartshorn (Clemson University, USA), Maartje Klapwijk (SLU, Sweden), Mariella Marzano (Forest Research, UK), and Eckehard Brockerhoff (WSL, Switzerland).
The purpose of this survey is to assess current attitudes towards women in forest entomology and pathology and to identify gaps in support available to women in these fields. The entire survey should take around 15 minutes and you may stop at any time.
To access the survey, follow this link:
https://clemson.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eanxr0fRAOFVMBT
Results from this survey are expected to help institutions and scientific societies identify areas of improvement to support women in these fields. If you have any questions or concerns about this survey please contact Dr. Jess Hartshorn at jhartsh(a)clemson.edu.
