Dear all,
We have now advertised a professorship in Forest Entomology and Forest Protection at Freiburg University. I would greatly appreciate, if you could disseminate this in your networks and if possible also encourage promising candidates to apply. I would be happy to provide people with more background to the position, the faculty etc. Do you have an Email List for the IUFRO Division that could be used to forward the position announcement to the forest entomology community?
Kind regards

Dear colleagues,
Registration and abstract submission are now open for International Conference on Sentinel Plantings that will take place on 9-12 October 2018 in Sursee, Switzerland. Sentinel plantings are a tool for the detection, identification and risk assessment of pests and diseases before arrival in a new country, potentially allowing better prevention and management of alien pest and disease introductions. The most recent methodological and regulatory developments and results from sentinel planting studies will be presented during the conference.
More details are available on a dedicated website: https://www.ibles.pl/en/web/cost/final-action-meeting Please note the following important dates:
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 May 2018.
Deadline for registration: 15 June 2018.
The programme will include :
* Keynote lectures by international experts:
ü Dr Mark McNeill (AgResearch, New Zealand)
ü Prof Yuri Baranchikov (V.N. Sukachev Institute of Forest, Siberian Branch of the RASc, Krasnoyarsk, Russia)
ü Dr Therese Pluess (Swiss Federal Office for the Environment, Bern)
ü Dr Andrei Orlinski (EPPO, Paris)
ü Dr Chris Malumphy (Fera, United Kingdom)
* Presentations of the outputs of COST Action Global Warning
* Scientific sessions - posters and oral presentations
The meeting is co-organised by COST Action Global Warning (www.ibles.pl/cost<http://www.ibles.pl/cost>), Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation (EPPO), CABI Switzerland and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL.
We look forward to your submissions for presentations and to your participation.

Dear Forpathers
I'm writing to say that Peter Gadgil passed away over the weekend. I know many of you won't know Peter but there are some of you who do. Until very recently Peter was working at Scion in a mentoring role as well as fulfilling his lifetime passion of describing new fungi. As late as last week he expressed a desire to return to work as soon as his mobility improved. Sadly that will not happen, but his legacy will continue.
Peter started here in 1964, when he was recruited to work on dothistroma needle blight, a new disease of Pinus radiata in New Zealand. His fundamental work in the 1960s on the infection process of the pathogen and its epidemiology was critical to the development of a successful control programme that is still in use today. Recent research using advanced molecular techniques that weren't available in the 1960s have demonstrated Peter's findings in his 1967 publication "Infection of Pinus radiata needles by Dothistroma pini" were correct. In the 1970s Peter and his wife Ruth published two papers on the interaction of mycorrhiza and other soil organisms that is still described today as the "Gadgil effect". In 2005, Peter published a book describing over 700 fungi associated with woody plants in New Zealand. This book was hailed as the first comprehensive reference book ever produced on fungi that live in New Zealand's forests.
Peter, as Research Leader of the Forest Health Group, was a pioneer of the transition from a purely Government funded research programme to one funded by industry and Government. Peter was the main driver behind the development of the New Zealand forest grower funded surveillance and diagnostic services, and the Forest Health Research Collaborative which was a precursor to the Biosecurity Technical Steering Team we have now.
Peter was never afraid to voice his opinion, often in a forthright manner, but those who worked closely with him understood this and developed strategies to work around that. We were also never left in any doubt about what his view on a specific matter was! For all that, Peter helped me and many others develop in their careers through his helpful advice and mentorship and he will always be regarded as one of New Zealand's eminent forest pathologists.

About the Conference session organizer
Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment (ILFE) was founded in 1958
under the name of the Poplar Research Institute by the Parliament of the
Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Soon after, the Institute has been renamed
the Institute for Poplars and Non-forest Greenery and finally, in October
2006, the Institute has changed its name to the Institute of Lowland
Forestry and Environment (ILFE). ILFE research and developmentactivities are
directed towards both basic and applied research that meets demands of the
research users, such as public enterprises, private forest landowners, urban
residents and policy-makers. ILFE has realized numerous projects related to
the improvement of major tree species (poplars, willows, black locust,
common oak, european beech, norway spruce, wild cherry, etc.) in Serbia and
other former Yugoslavian Republics, projects of the establishment of
protective greenery, forest management plans, rehabilitation of degraded
lands. Moreover, numerous international projects have successfully been
realized with various partners from both Europe and USA.

Hello colleagues,
I apologize in advance for any duplicate postings.
If you or anyone you know is looking for a postdoctoral position and is interested in working in my program on tree-biotic interactions, particularly on tree defense/resistance mechanisms, please see attached opportunity. This opportunity is going to be highly selective (only 10 positions across the university), so I am looking for top notch finishing PhD students, or recent high-quality PhD graduates.
Please contact me directly if you are interested.
Thank you!
