Dear forest entomology colleagues,
I'd like to bring to your attention the website
http://www.iufrouruguay2011.org that provides information about the
upcoming IUFRO meeting, "Pathogens, insects and their associations
affecting forestry worldwide" which will be held in Colonia del
Sacramento, Uruguay 8-11 November, 2011. The meeting will be a unique
joint Forest Entomology/Pathology meeting and I expect there will be
many interesting presentations and discussions. Given the location of
the meeting in Uruguay, we anticipate participation from across Latin
America but the meeting will focus on topics of international scope
and we are thus encouraging scientists from all countries to
participate.
The meeting location of Colonia del Sacramento is a quaint town
located on a small penninsula in el Río de la Plata, and can be
reached by a short ferry ride from Buenos Aires on the other side of
the river in Argentina. Colonia is the oldest town in Uruguay,
originally settled in 1680 and many of the original stone and stucco
buildings are still standing and used for every-day life.
I'm really excited about this meeting as it will be unique in many
ways. If you think you might be interested in participating, please
fill out the information card at
http://www.iufrouruguay2011.org/contact
Any specific questions about the meeting should be directed to our
host, Dr. Guillermo Perez at guillermoiufro2011(a)gmail.com
-Sandy

Dear colleagues,
The research groups I'm working with have just received funds to support graduate students for projects on the ecology of the brown spruce longhorn beetle and the spruce budworm. Please forward these announcements to interested students and/or within your departments.
I apologize for cross-postings.
Thank you,

Standards in Forestry"
This is an important reference work that provides easy to understand
information on International Standards for Phytosanitary measures
(ISPM's) and how forest management practices can play a role in
minimizing pest prevalence and spread. It is available in Arabic,
Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish and can be freely
