Bark and wood boring beetles: monitoring methods questionnaire

by Thomas Kendall

Dear All, We are running a project looking at monitoring methods for bark and wood boring beetles (BWBB) at high-risk entry points to Great Britain, and as part of a review we'd like to contextualise this with how similar monitoring is conducted in other countries. If you undertake monitoring for BWBB at high-risk entry points (e.g. seaports, airports, land borders) or have knowledge of the methods used in your country, it would be greatly appreciated if you could please take the time fill in this short (18 questions max. 5-10 mins) questionnaire: Monitoring methods for bark and wood boring beetles (BWBB) at high-risk entry points. - Fill in form<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=ZzWSG70HwUqF8kXtom2DfEQ…> Equally if you know someone who this would be relevant to please feel free to share this further. The questionnaire will be live until January 2026. Many thanks, Tom Tom Kendall (he/him) | Scientist- Entomology Northern Research Station, Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland, EH25 9SY [cid:image001.png@01DC4A6F.F001D730]<https://www.forestresearch.gov.uk/>

Joint WP 7.03.13 and 7.03.16 Meeting in October in South Africa

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.
