Hello Forest Entomologists!
The IUFRO Division 7, Unit 7.02.11 Parasitic flowering plants in forests, is hosting a global meeting, "Mistletoes: Pathogens, Keystone Resource, and Medicinal Wonder" on July 17-22, 2016 at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon. Ashland, Oregon is located in southern Oregon near the California border, and is surrounded by diverse forests with a diverse flora of Viscaceae (Arceuthobium and Phoradendron).
We are now accepting abstracts for oral talks and/or posters.
Please visit the website to submit abstracts: http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/mistletoe/
This will be an exciting meeting, please consider participating and please spread the word! This may seem like a forest pathology meeting, but as you all know, insects interact with mistletoes and infected hosts in many ways...herbivory, pollination, and host susceptibility!
Sincerely, the Organizing Committee:
David Watson, Australia
Marcelo Wagner, Argentina
