Hello all
Mark your calendars! I just wanted to let you know that our session for
IUFRO in Stockholm, 2024 was approved. The title is “*Mini-Symposium:
Resilience of Forest Biodiversity to Climate Change and Pests: Civic
Engagement and Conservation in Seed Banks, Public Gardens, and Wild, Urban,
and Agroforestry Landscapes*”
This has been organized by myself, Jill Wagner, Sean Hoban, Lara Salido and
Denita Hadziabdic. I shared with the rest of you because I would love for
you to submit for a talk, a poster, or to participate in a panel discussion
and/or spread the word to others. The submissions will open soon (details
coming February 10). The speakers will be selected by the organizing
committee as well as the session organizers.
Here is a link to the meeting and submission details and description:
https://iufro2024.com/iufro-world-congress-2024/aim-and-scope/https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstract
*Mini-Symposium: Resilience of Forest Biodiversity to Climate Change and
Pests: Civic Engagement and Conservation in Seed Banks, Public Gardens, and
Wild, Urban, and Agroforestry Landscapes*
*To conserve biodiversity, multiple approaches can be taken on the ground.
This mini-symposium (Panel, Flash-talks & Posters) represents experts who
focus on complementary aspects of conservation and reforestation; threat
assessment, seed collecting and banking from wild trees, collective action
and civic engagement, the roles of public gardens in conserving genetic
resources, developing genetic resistance to pests to conserve biodiversity,
and the importance of conserving genetic diversity in the face of pests and
climate change.*
*Seed is the unit by which biodiversity is propagated, and therefore,
protected. There is ever increasing pollination disruption with shifting
local climate conditions and more fragmented and degraded native
ecosystems. As forests and genetic diversity are lost, so are mother trees
for seed collection, in a time when people want to greatly scale
reforestation efforts. In addition to potential declines in seed crops,
global trade, biodiversity loss, and fragmentation increase the threat of
emergent insect and pathogen outbreaks, resulting in local or range-wide
extinction of iconic tree species. Therefore, there is a global need for
threat assessments, seed collection and banking of native tree species.*
*In the context of the above challenges and solutions, public gardens and
arboreta are critical to the resilience of forests and society. In addition
to acting as living collections, seed sources, and refugia of tree species,
public gardens serve as biodiversity hotspots in cities, and meeting places
for public and volunteer conservation efforts and outreach. As sentinels,
trees in public gardens can be used to proactively detect emergent disease
threats. Through collective action, exchange of information, public
engagement, and local expert knowledge, “think global, act local” could be
applied to aid proactive efforts to protect forest biodiversity from the
next major pests across the world. Local experts and civic ecologists can
accomplish this by collecting seed and observing trees in native
environments, plantations, public gardens, and urban forests.*
*Breeding or human-directed genetic improvement presents a practical
solution for restoration of species that are impacted by emergent pest
epidemics, climate change, or other threats. The utility of breeding to
protect biodiversity also depends on the prior establishments of seed banks
and other germplasm resources. It is critical to generate a prior
understanding of the diversity of populations of tree species valued for
their ecological, horticultural, or economic and commercial
characteristics, the observed or potential effects of threats to those
populations, and the role diversity could play in recovery of species.*
We look forward to seeing the submissions of you and your colleagues to
this event.

Dear forest entomologist colleagues,
We are looking for partners in the native range of the oak lace bug Corythucha arcuata (North America) for a small-investment-high-reward* experiment between June and August. We are particularly interested in place where the species is reasonably abundant and easy to spot.
If you are interested, please contact us to know more
Many thanks in advance,
Bastien Castagneyrol & Maarten de Groot
* Three working days in 2023, for cool results and one nice co-authored paper

Dear international colleagues,
First of all, happy holidays everyone!
I am writing to you in my role as Specialty Chief Editor representing the editorial team of Frontiers in Forests and Global Change – Pests, Pathogens and Invasions<https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/forests-and-global-change/sections/pes…> (IF: 4.332). I would like to invite you all to consider submission of research topics or individual research papers. We are specifically interested in regionally focused research topics or articles. For example, topics and papers around pests and pathogens in Southeast Asia, or pests and pathogens in Central Africa, etcetera.
Other topics of interest revolve around the issue of invasions by non-native pests and pathogens, specifically the issues of prediction of invaders and target countries/continents, and analyses of introduction pathways, including means of introduction (lives plants for planting, dunnage, etc.) and predominant global trade routes. Other topics around aspects of biotech and machine learning to exploit biological and genetic data are also of high interest.
I hope you will consider submitting to the journal soon, and with this I wish you all the best for a successful 2023!
