Hello,
Sandy Liebhold suggested that I send this message to the FORENT community.
The Entomological Society of America has a list of ‘approved’ common names for insects.
It has discontinued use of 'gypsy moth' as the common name for Lymantria dispar (due to concerns that it was derogatory toward the Roma) and has initiated a process for determining a new official common name for this species. This will be a challenging transition.
There is a complex process of committees that will work on this, including asking for public input. So, there will be opportunities to provide feedback on candidates for the new common name. But, in the meantime, you can suggest a new name for Lymantria dispar here<https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/64cb63395d7f4b27be32f8e6cecb5846>.
These suggestions will be passed on for consideration by the renaming committee. However, be aware that there are some guidelines (e.g., you can’t use the name of a geographic region in the name, etc.). Information on ESA's new criteria for common names is available here<https://www.entsoc.org/pubs/use-and-submission-common-names>. Of course for such a common insect, I think it would be good for the common name to not be long and complex.
Thank you very much for your input! I hope you can come up with some great suggestions.

Dear friends and colleagues,
As I mentioned in our recent newsletter / annual report, we will proceed with planning our next All-Division 7 Forest Pathology and Entomology Conference, to be held from 6-9 September 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Manuela Branco and José Carlos Franco will be the local organisers.
Attached is a first announcement.
At this time, we are asking for early indications of likely participation, preferably by 25 June 2021 or before.
We have chosen this date because we need to enter into an agreement with the conference venue and that requires a partial payment of the venue hire fee. So we need to know if there is enough interest from potential participants.
Therefore, we would like to ask you to ...
submit session proposals
(on any forest pathology or entomology topic); please send these to iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt by 25 June 2021 or preferably even earlier (see the attached announcement for further information); and/orlet us know if you plan to attend the conference
by sending an email to iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt preferably also by 25 June 2021. That way we will add your name to our list for occasional email updates and subsequent announcements.
We are hoping that many participants of forest health working parties will attend and support the conference.
Please share this announcement with your forest pathology and entomology colleagues (including participants of past IUFRO meetings).
Our apologies if you receive this message more than once as we will cross-post this announcement via other channels.
Best wishes
Ecki Brockerhoff, Manuela Branco and José Carlos Franco
and the entire conference organising team Tod Ramsfield, Maartje Klapwijk, Beccy Ganley, Julio Diez, Barbara Bentz, Hervé Jactel and Joséphine Queffelec

Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee, I want to share with you
our plans for the IUFRO meeting "Biological Invasions in Forests: Trade,
Ecology and Management". Having postponed the meeting twice, we are
determined not to do so again and we are set to proceed with the dates of
20-24 September, 2021 in Prague, Czech Republic (Czech University of Life
Sciences).
This is a joint meeting of IUFRO units 7.03.12 - Alien Invasive Species and
International Trade, 7.03.07 - Population Dynamics of Forest Insects and
8.02.04 - Ecology of Alien Invasives. Topics addressed during the
conference include:
- Invasions of non-native plants, insects, tree pathogens, and other
organisms in forest ecosystems
- The role of trade and travel as pathways for invasions
- Ecology and impacts of non-native species in forests
- Management of invasions / biosecurity
There will be two keynote presentations, one by Dr. Jiří Hulcr and another
by Dr. Petr Pyšek
Currently we are planning the conference using a "mixed" format, meaning
there will be both in-person and remote participation. Like other
IUFRO conferences, we anticipate that most in-person attendees will be able
to present if they wish. We will live-stream the conference and will
include a limited number of remote presentations, however we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to accommodate all requests to present
remotely due to time constraints.
The COVID situation is changing quickly and despite encouraging
developments, it unfortunately will not be possible for individuals from
some regions and institutions to attend in-person but in those cases, we
encourage remote participation. We are optimistic that many people will be
able to attend.
Further information about the conference and registration for in-person
participation can be made at https://iufro.czu.cz/en
Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions
