Next root and stem rots meeting! Save the dates! Nov 23-27th 2026

by Brigitte Burger

[cid:image003.jpg@01DC2BF9.C87DF020]Dear Colleagues: You are invited to attend the 16th conference of "Root & Stem Rots" to be held at The Veracruz University in Xalapa, MEXICO. A Meeting in the Heart of the Cloud Forest Set in the highlands of Veracruz, surrounded by Mexico's rare tropical montane cloud forest, Xalapa offers a unique backdrop where science and history meet for the 16th International Conference of IUFRO Working Party 7.02.01 "Root & Stem Rots". Indoors, participants will engage in focused scientific sessions on genomics and plant–pathogen interactions; systematics, taxonomy and phylogeography; ecology; population genetics; etiology and epidemiology; disease management and control; New reports in both urban and rural forests, and diagnostic methods for monitoring - addressing global forest health priorities and local cases such as the newly described Armillaria mexicana. Outdoors, guided excursions will lead into mist-shrouded cloud forests and pine–oak woodlands of the Veracruz highlands, where towering oaks, liquidambar, and a remarkable diversity of tree species thrive alongside vibrant epiphyte communities. These forests are not only biodiversity hotspots, but also living laboratories for studying root and stem rot dynamics, forest regeneration, and conservation under climate change. Shaped by centuries of trade, tradition, and academic pursuit, Xalapa is an important cultural center and home to the second-largest anthropology museum in Mexico, which preserves artifacts from the Olmec, Totonac, and Huastec civilizations. Its cobblestone streets, historic churches, and surrounding coffee-growing estates create a unique atmosphere, enriching the experience of gathering here for science, education, and collaboration. 📌Details at https://www.iufro.org/events/16th-international-conference-of-iufro-working… 📌Full program, call for abstracts, and registration details coming soon!

by Allison, Jeremy (he, him | il, lui)

UNCLASSIFIED - NON CLASSIFI? Dear IUFRO Member: We are writing to update you on the joint IUFRO Working Party (7.03.13 "Biological control of forest insects and pathogens" and 7.03.16 "Behavioural and chemical ecology of forest insects) meeting with a focus on the intersection of Behavioural/ Chemical Ecology and Biological Control in Forest Ecosystems. This meeting will occur at the Future Africa campus, University of Pretoria (https://www.up.ac.za/future-africa) We now have firm dates for the meeting: 28-30 October, 2025 (inclusive); for abstract submission (15-June, 2025 deadline) and registration (30-June, 2025). Please visit the following page for registration (https://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/index.php/events/IUFRO2025A ). Here you can get some additional information about the meeting, register and coordinate payment ($300 USD for regular delegates; $200 USD for students) as well as indicate your interest in a post-meeting one-day or three-day and two-night field trip. The former will include a trip to see some plantation forest pest issues and the latter will also include some tourism (e.g., trip to Kruger and game drive). You will also be able to get information about abstract submission at the website. This meeting will be a combination of traditional power-point presentations and directed discussions, with an emphasis on the latter. Discussion sessions will have experts assigned to facilitate dialogue and rapporteurs to capture ideas in real time. Ideally the notes from these discussions will form the basis of follow up activities (e.g., synthesis papers, research proposals) with interested delegates. If you have any questions, please contact any of us. We hope to you in South Africa later this year.
