Postdoc: bark beetle phylogenetics

by Bjarte Henry Jordal

A postdoc position in bark beetle phylogenetics is open at the University Museum of Bergen: http://jobbnor.no/en/available-jobs/job/99273/postdoctoral-fellow-in-biosys… Postdoctoral fellow in biosystematics - phylogenetic diversity of bark and ambrosia beetles At the Museum of Natural History, University Museum of Bergen, a position as postdoctoral research fellow is available for 2 years in the NFR funded project <A phylogenomic approach to understand the diversification of bark beetles and associated microbes>. The fellow will be associated with the research group Phylogenetic Systematics and Evolution at the museum (http://www.uib.no/rg/pse) Bark and ambrosia beetles are a species rich group of wood-boring insects that contain more than 10 % of the total weevil diversity. This group of wood-boring weevils shows extreme variation in ecological and biological adaptations, thus offering great opportunities for testing exciting evolutionary hypotheses. The postdoc will focus mainly on comparative phylogenetic analyses of diversification, particularly in relation to host plant evolution, symbiosis with microbial fungi, and variation in reproductive and genetic systems in these beetles. The research will be based in part on accumulated biological and ecological data, but additional fieldwork in the Afrotropics may be considered. It will also be necessary to participate in the reconstruction of large-scale bark beetle phylogenies. The postdoc will collaborate with team members from Michigan State University (East Lansing), University of Florida (Gainsville), one PhD student (started 2012) and the project leader at the University Museum in Bergen. Applicants must hold a PhD degree in evolutionary biology with relevance to biosystematics. The thesis must have been submitted by the application deadline. Applicants should have broad experience with phylogenetic research and diversification analyses, or coevolutionary approaches and similar types of phylogeny based analyses. Entomological expertise and knowledge about bark and ambrosia beetles is considered an advantage, but not mandatory. The selected candidate must document ability to work independently and in groups, and have a proven record of publishing scientific papers. Expected starting date is April 2014, but flexible within first half of 2014. Salary level 57 on the government salary scale (corresponding to NOK 473,100 per year). Additional information on the position is available from the PI, associate professor Bjarte Jordal, phone +47 55 58 2233, e-mail: bjarte.jordal(a)um.uib.no<mailto:bjarte.jordal@um.uib.no>

We may have an unique opportunity to “support a maximum of 3 scientists (e.g. one each from Africa, Asia and Latin America) to attend the “Five needle pine genetics (2.02.15) & Rust of Forest Trees (7.02.05)” conference in June 2014. Some of you may know outstanding candidates around the world that normally would not have a chance to attend and contribute to this type of meeting. I would like to ask for your assistance locating candidates (short deadline on this) - those qualifying for sponsorship are from “low income” and “lower middle income” countries that I have indicated in red on the list below (I’ve done this quickly, so subject to verification, the source pdf is attached). Our IUFRO conference organisers/scientific committee selects the candidates for sponsorship (based on abstract submitted). Please note that an approved oral or poster is a considered a pre-condition for sponsorship. There are several steps to go through in this process of sponsorship, so we need to locate suitable candidates as soon as possible. Some possibilities: There are 5-needle pines (white pine) species in parts of Asia that we know little of; I’m sure there are many rusts of forest trees that we know little of. Information about the IUFRO Working Groups and the conference can be found at the link below June 2014 Conference: http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene… We have limited funding opportunity here, so if you know good qualified candidates, that will help the committee in its decision. ***Please send names/emails to me at rsniezko(a)fs.fed.us<mailto:rsniezko@fs.fed.us>, or have the candidates send me their information (name, institute, email address, species working on, proposed title(s) of presentation. The call for abstracts will also be out soon (next week).

Using Google Street View to localise pest insects

by Laurence BOUHOT-DELDUC

Dear colleagues, For the first time, forest entomologists have used the freely downloadable Google Street View (GSV) database to map the geographical distribution of an increasingly common invasive pest insect, the pine processionary moth. The scientists estimated that this on-line database would provide a good representation of the presence of this species. Their findings, published in PLOS ONE on 9 October 2013, open the way to the simplified and inexpensive acquisition of data that are essential when studying invasive or expanding species. Press release: http://presse.inra.fr/en/Resources/Press-releases/Using-Google-Street-View-… The article: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0074918 Best regards, ---- Dr Pascal FREY INRA, University of Lorraine Department of Tree - Microbe Interactions Ecology of Forest Pathogenic Fungi team UMR1136 IAM F-54280 Champenoux FRANCE Phone: 33 383 394 056 Fax: 33 383 394 069 E-mail: frey(a)nancy.inra.fr http://mycor.nancy.inra.fr/IAM/?page_id=731
