Fwd: Oozing Black Spots on Limbs of White Oak

by Bonello, Enrico

Hello forpathers and forenters, Below are a couple of pictures sent to me by a local arborist, wondering what’s going on on the main limbs of a white oak. I am contacting you because I find that this kind of very localized bark discoloration/staining is quite common in oaks. I’ve always suspected these were very small, localized infections by some species of Phytophthora, like citricola, citrophthora, etc. but I’ve never verified. Whatever it is, it seems to me it never goes anywhere, i.e. the lesions remain very small and do not have any serious impact on the host. Does anyone else actually know what these are? It would be of great interest to me personally, in addition to providing an answer to the arborist. Cheers!

IUFRO 2019 World Congress Technical session Tree reproductive structure insects and pathogens in a changing world

by Thomas Boivin

Dear IUFRO pathologists, Please find below and attached a call for abstracts for a technical session to be held at the IUFRO XXV World Congress meeting, September 29-October 5, 2019 in Curitiba, Brazil (http://www.iufro2019.com<http://www.iufro2019.com/> ). We also would like to draw your attention on the existence of the new IUFRO 7.03.01 Working Party "Reproductive structure insects & pathogens" ( https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70300/70301/ ), which aims at expanding communication and co-operation among scientists and forest managers on the interactions between tree reproductive structures and both the insects and pathogens that feed and develop on them, as well as on the interactions between insects and pathogens when exploiting reproductive structures. Please feel free to contact us (see emails below) for more information and joining the mailing list of this WP. We will be happy that you circulate these informations among your own networks. Sincerely yours, Thomas, Marie-Anne & Olle CALL FOR ABSTRACT FOR A TECHNICAL SESSION FOR THE CONGRESS THEME: BIODIVERSITY, ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS TITLE OF THE SESSION : D7b - Biodiversity, biotic interactions and threats to forest ecosystem services associated with tree reproductive structure insects and pathogens in a changing world ORGANISERS Thomas Boivint1, Marie-Anne Auger-Rozenberg2 and Olle Rosenberg3 1Mediterranean Forest Research Unit, INRA, France. 2Research Unit of Forest Zoology, France. 3Skogforsk, The Forestry Reasearch Institute, Sweden. DESCRIPTION Insects and pathogens exploiting tree reproductive structures are considered the most important constraint to the reproductive success of trees during the seed pre-dispersal phase. In a context in which the effects of both climate change and biological invasions are increasingly prevalent to these species, this session will propose experimental and theoretical contributions to biodiversity, biotic interactions and threat assessment and management associated with native and exotic insects and pathogens of tree reproductive structures. DETAILS Abstracts will be accepted for both posters and oral presentations. Authors are limited to a maximum of two abstracts as presenting author. DEADLINES Abstract submission deadline: December 31, 2018. Registration and payment deadline: May 31, 2018.

IUFRO Division 7 news 2017-18

by Eckehard Brockerhoff

Dear Friends and colleagues (subscribers of mailing lists Div7, RG7.01, RG7.02 and RG7.03) Attached is the latest newsletter covering happenings over the last 12 months as well as upcoming meetings in the Forest Health Division and the three Research Groups (RG 7.01 - Air Pollution and Climate Change, RG 7.02 - Pathology, and RG 7.03 - Entomology). Please let us know if we overlooked any events, and please share information for our next newsletter. Apart from all the upcoming Division 7 conferences and meetings that are listed in the attached report, I'd like to draw your attention to the abstract submission dates for the next IUFRO World Congress in Curitiba, Brazil, 29 September - 5 October, 2019. Congress website: www.iufro2019.com<http://www.iufro2019.com> Abstract submission was planned to start at 15 September 2018 but this has been postponed because of the large number of session proposals that were received, which required some consolidation. Abstract submission should be available soon, and the abstract submission deadline is still planned to be 15 December 2018. I know that many Division 7 contributors submitted session proposals. The interest in the congress and in organising sessions has been amazing. More than twice as many session proposals were received than can be accommodated at the congress. Unfortunately, this necessitated that some proposals that addressed similar topics were merged by the committee, and I think most have now been informed about the outcome. Someone mentioned that "arranged marriages can be good marriages" and I hope that those who are affected will be able to see some positives in this or at least be able to live with the decision. I should mention that I was not responsible for the merging decisions. Anyway, there is still some discussion about certain cases where the merging may not have been ideal. Please let me know if you are not satisfied with the outcome and if you feel strongly about this. My email is eckehard.brockerhoff(a)scionresearch.com<mailto:eckehard.brockerhoff@scionresearch.com> I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming IUFRO meeting, and my best wishes for your research and other endeavours.
