Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce you that the journal Annals of Forest Science
has launched a special issue entitled "Entomological issues during
forest diebacks". In brief, the aim of this topical issue would be to
illustrate the role of insects as inciting and contributing factors
during forest declines, but also the outcomes of forest declines on
insect communities. Potential topics could include the contribution of
defoliators / bark and ambrosia beetles / longhorns and buprestids… to
declines, the role of insects as vector of pathogens contributing to
declines, the impact of declines on the community of saproxylic beetles…
The deadline for submission of your manuscript will be at the end of
October. When submitting, please select "Insects and tree diebacks" in
the Choose article type menu. The manuscripts will be double-blind
peer-reviewed.
More information can be found on the blog of Annals of Forest Science:

Dear colleagues,
Registration and abstract submission are now open for International Conference on Sentinel Plantings that will take place on 9-12 October 2018 in Sursee, Switzerland.

The most recent methodological and regulatory developments and results from sentinel planting studies will be presented during the conference.
More details are available on a dedicated website: https://www.ibles.pl/en/web/cost/final-action-meeting Please note the following important dates:
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 May 2018.
Deadline for registration: 15 June 2018.

About the Conference session organizer
Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment (ILFE) was founded in 1958
under the name of the Poplar Research Institute by the Parliament of the
Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Soon after, the Institute has been renamed
the Institute for Poplars and Non-forest Greenery and finally, in October
2006, the Institute has changed its name to the Institute of Lowland
Forestry and Environment (ILFE). ILFE research and developmentactivities are
directed towards both basic and applied research that meets demands of the
research users, such as public enterprises, private forest landowners, urban
residents and policy-makers. ILFE has realized numerous projects related to
the improvement of major tree species (poplars, willows, black locust,
common oak, european beech, norway spruce, wild cherry, etc.) in Serbia and
other former Yugoslavian Republics, projects of the establishment of
protective greenery, forest management plans, rehabilitation of degraded
lands. Moreover, numerous international projects have successfully been
realized with various partners from both Europe and USA.

We are pleased to announce that, IUFRO 7.03.04 Diseases and Insects in Forest Nurseries Working Party Meeting will be held in Kuşadası, Turkey 21st - 26th of October, 2018 with oral and poster presentations along with social programs.
Kuşadası is a resort town on Turkey's Aegean coast and the center of the seaside district of the same name within Aydın Province. It is located 95 km (59 mi) away from İzmir, and 71 km (44 mi) from Aydın. It's primary industry is tourism. There are many well preserved historical sites on the Aegean coast of Turkey belong to Greek and Roman eras. Ephesus is the nearest and best preserved one among them. The ancient city of Ephesus has been inscribed to the World Heritage List of the UNESCO.
Ephesus located within what was once the estuary of the River Kaystros, Ephesus comprises successive Hellenistic and Roman settlements founded on new locations, which followed the coastline as it retreated westward. Excavations have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the “Seven Wonders of the World,” which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean. Since the 5th century, the House of the Virgin Mary, a domed cruciform chapel seven kilometres from Ephesus, became a major place of Christian pilgrimage. The Ancient City of Ephesus is an outstanding example of a Roman port city, with sea channel and harbour basin.
On behalf of the organizing committee of the meeting, it is my great pleasure to invite all the interested researchers and educators in the international scientific community to join us in Kuşadası and share in the excitement of good science for the benefit of mankind.
Oral and poster presentations will be published in English in a special book after the meeting.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Kuşadası in October, 2018.
Yours sincerely,
