Sixth Sudden Oak Death Science Symposium: Biosecurity, Plant Trade, and Native Habitats
Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers
June 21 – 23, 2016
Fort Mason Center
2 Marina Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123
The Sixth Sudden Oak Death Science Symposium: Biosecurity, Plant Trade, and Native Habitats brings together scientists and practitioners from throughout the world working on Phytophthora plant pathogens in wildands and nurseries. The meeting will provide a scientific update on the state of our knowledge about Phytophthoras and associated diseases in urban and wildland forests as well as nurseries, landscapes, and restoration areas.
This conference reflects widening concerns related to Phytophthora species in U.S. wildlands and the potential for spread from native and ornamental plant production facilities to restoration sites and adjacent lands. Phytophthora ramorum, cause of sudden oak death and other plant diseases, has killed millions of tanoak and coast live oak trees along the Pacific Coast and forced the removal of millions of Japanese larch trees in the U.K. The pathogen was inadvertently introduced to both North America and Europe on ornamental nursery stock and is a quarantined pest in over 65 countries. In California, the first U.S. detection of P. tentaculata in native plant nurseries and on outplanted restoration plants has heighted concern over other Phytophthora species in endemic plant and animal habitats. This meeting will expand the concept of the Sudden Oak Death Science Symposiums, with presentations on sudden oak death research and management progress since the Fifth Sudden Oak Death Science Symposium (June 2012, Petaluma) as well as other nursery and wildland Phytophthora issues.
Call for Papers, Case Studies, Speakers, and Posters
We are seeking abstracts (up to 1 page) of proposed papers or posters by January 29, 2016. These should be submitted via email using the format (including font size and style) of the attached MS-Word example and should clearly state if you would like to present a paper or a poster. Abstracts should be sent to:

Symposium proceedings will be produced. Speakers are requested to provide manuscripts; extended abstracts will be accepted.Complete instructions for paper preparation will be sent out with abstract acceptance notifications.
Topics
Submissions should focus on one of the following areas addressing Sudden Oak Death/P. ramorum or Phytophthora spp. in native habitats, restoration areas and wildlands: biology and pathology; organisms associated with Phytophthoras; ecology; economic, social, and environmental impacts; modeling and risk assessment; management and control strategies; monitoring; arboriculture and urban forestry; nursery management; policy; or other related topics.
Applicants will be notified by March 11, 2016 as to the acceptance of their submission.

Hello,
Everyone is invited to the IUFRO Unit 7.02.11 Parasitic flowering plants in forests, sponsored meeting in Ashland, Oregon, USA July 17-22, 2016.
The meeting is titled, "Mistletoes: Pathogens, Keystone Resource, and Medicinal Wonder", to indicate the breadth of topics that will be covered (systematics, ecology, pharmacology, economics, wildlife, management, host parasite interactions, etc). The organizing committee is inviting interested people to submit abstracts for consideration in oral and poster sessions (although website might not be ready for submissions quite yet).
The organizing committee includes: David Shaw, USA, Marcelo Wagner, Argentina, David Watson Australia, Simon Shamoun, Canada, and Robert Mathiasen, USA.
Ashland, Oregon is a small city in Southern Oregon State near the California border area where mistletoes in the Viscaceae (Arceuthobium, Phoradendron) are abundant and important to forest ecology and management. We plan two full day field outings to natural areas, managed forests, national forests, and national parks. The region is very diverse with high plant endemism.
Attached please find the brochure announcing the meeting. Please share this with colleagues and spread the word. We hope you will be interested in attending.

Dear Colleagues,
Please find below a call for participants to a horizon scanning project
on biological invasions.
It is available in three languages (English, French and Spanish).
Sincerely yours,
Thomas

*Alien futures horizon scanning survey: call for participants*
/**Version française ci-dessous/
/**Versión española continuación
/
//
*Alien Futures* is a new research project collecting and examining
issues that may affect the future global and local management of
biological invasions.
Horizon scanning is the systematic examination of future potential
threats, opportunities and likely future developments.
Some horizon scanning activities have already been undertaken about
invasive species, for example focusing on high risk species (e.g. Roy et
al. 2014), specific habitats (Ojaveer et al. 2014), or general issues
within European invasion science (e.g. Caffrey et al. 2014).
This project aims to complement these existing activities by exploring
the wider environmental, social and technological issues external to
invasion ecology that may have implications for the future management of
invasive species.
During the first phase of the project, we are gathering opinions on the
global and local issues that might affect the management of biological
invasions in the next 20 – 50 years.
We want to explore issues that may emerge and have implications in a
more distant future than currently considered in the management of
biological invasions.
These can be issues which might have positive or negative implications.
We invite people working with or interested in biological invasions to
fill in a survey on our website.
*To find out more, and fill in the survey, please visit
**www.alienfutures.org <http://www.alienfutures.org/>**.*
We encourage you to think creatively beyond the time frame of your
current work!
We would also be very grateful if you could forward this email to
colleagues or groups who may be interested in contributing.
Please copy in info(a)alienfutures.org <mailto:info@alienfutures.org>./
/
//
The survey also includes some questions about your background and your
interest in biological invasions.
It does not gather personally identifiable information unless you
provide us with an email address in order to hear about project outputs./
/
/
/All of the issues identified will be published online in an open-access
format, so please do not include any details that you would not wish to
be published.
Project outputs will include a long list of global issues, a long list
of local issues and a shortlist of global issues.
We will make the data available for use and further research, with
workshops planned to explore the implications of these issues for policy
and management.
You can follow the progress of the project on our website
www.alienfutures.org <http://www.alienfutures.org/>or follow us on

*Alien Futures* est un nouveau projet de recherche destiné à identifier
les futures problématiques de gestion des invasions biologiques aux
échelles mondiale et locale.
Les analyses prospectivesont pour objectif un examen systématique de
futures menaces et des possibilités d’y répondre.
Celles qui ont été conduites sur les invasions biologiques
s’intéressaient principalement aux espèces à haut risque (p. ex. Roy et
al. 2014), à des habitats spécifiques (p.ex. Ojaveer et al. 2014), ou à
des enjeux européens (p. ex. Caffrey et al. 2014).
Alien Futures vise à compléter ces précédentes approches en explorant
les futurs enjeux environnementaux, sociaux et techniques de la gestion
des invasions biologiques.
Ce projet consiste donc à recueillir les opinions sur les problématiques
mondiales et locales associées à la gestion des invasions dans les 20 –
50 années à venir.
Nous souhaitons en effet pouvoir identifier les questions et les points
clés à prendre en compte au-delà des stratégies actuelles de gestion des
invasions.
Les enjeux et problématiques considérés peuvent avoir des répercussions
positives ou négatives.
Si vous travaillez sur, ou avez un intérêt pour, les invasions
biologiques, nous vous invitons à répondre à une courte enquête en ligne
sur notre site web.
*Pour en savoir plus, et pour répondre à l’enquête, rendez-vous sur
**www.alienfutures.org <http://www.alienfutures.org/>.*
Nous vous encourageons à réfléchir de manière créative au-delà de votre
propre période d’activité sur ce sujet !
Cette enquête inclut également quelques questions sur votre contexte
professionnel et/ou d'intérêt en lien avec les invasions biologiques.
Nous ne collectons aucune information personnelle et identifiable, à
moins que vous ne nous communiquiez une adresse e-mail pour vous
informer des résultats d’Alien Futures.
Toutes les problématiques identifiées dans cette enquête seront publiées
en ligne dans un format open-access, n’incluez donc pas dans vos
réponses des détails que vous ne souhaitez pas voir publiés.
*Les résultats d’Alien Futures incluront des listes exhaustives des
problématiques mondiales et locales suggérées, et une liste de
problématiques mondiales estimées prioritaires. *
Nous rendrons les données disponibles pour des recherches futures sur le
sujet et la planification de workshops destinés à explorer les
conséquences de ces problématiques pour les politiques de gestion des
invasions.
Nous vous serions aussi reconnaissants de transmettre ce message à des
collègues ou groupes de travail susceptibles de contribuer à ce projet.
Merci de nous mettre en copie dans ce cas :

*/Alien futures:/**Encuesta de escaneo del horizonte: Invitacion a
participar
*
*Alien Futures* es un nuevo proyecto de investigación que recoge y
examina cuestiones que pueden afectar a la gestión futura de las
invasiones biológicas, tanto a nivel global como local.
Escaneo del Horizonte implica un análisis sistemático de las amenazas
potenciales, oportunidades y posibles desarrollos futuros.
Ya se han llevado a cabo algunas actividades del escaneo del horizonte
sobreespecies invasoras, centrándose, por ejemplo, en las especies de
alto riesgo (p.ej. Roy et al 2014), hábitats específicos (Ojaveer et al
2014), o cuestiones generales dentro de la ciencia Europea de invasiones
biológicas (p.ej. Caffrey et al . 2014).
Este proyecto tiene como objetivo complementar estas actividades
existentes, mediante una amplia exploración ambiental, social y
tecnológica de cuestiones externas a la ecología de invasiones que
pueden tenerimplicaciones en la futura gestión de las especies invasoras.
Durante la primera fase del proyecto, estamos recopilando opiniones
sobre los temas globales y locales que puedan afectar a la gestión de
las invasiones biológicas en los próximos 20 - 50 años.
Queremos explorar las cuestiones que puedan surgir y que tienen
implicaciones futuras, positivas o negativas, en la gestión de especies
invasoras.
Invitamos a la gente que esté trabajando con las invasiones biológicas o
esté interesado en las mismas, a rellenar una breve encuesta en nuestra
página web.
*Para una mayor información, y rellenar la encuesta, por favor visite
nuestra web **_www.alienfutures.org_*****
Les animamos a pensar creativamente más allá del marco en el que se
desarrolla su trabajo actual.
Les agradeceríamos que enviara este email a compañeros o grupos que
pudieran estar interesados en contribuir.
Por favor, ponga en copia _infr(a)alienfutures.org_
La entrevista también incluye algunas preguntas sobre su experiencia y
su interés en las invasionesbiológicas. No se recopilará ninguna
información personal, a menos que usted nos proporcione su dirección de
correo electrónico de cara a que le informemos de los resultados del
proyecto. Todos los temas identificados serán publicados online en un
formato de acceso abierto, así que por favor, no incluya ningún detalle
que usted no desee que se publique.
Los resultados del proyecto incluirán una lista larga de aspectos
globales y otra de aspectos locales, además de una lista corta de los
aspectos mundiales. Haremos que los datos estén disponibles para su uso
e investigación, con talleres planeados para explorar las implicaciones
de estas cuestiones en la política y la gestión.
