CALL FOR ABSTRACT FOR A TECHNICAL SESSION FOR THE CONGRESS THEME: BIODIVERSITY, ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS

 

TITLE OF THE SESSION : D7b - Biodiversity, biotic interactions and threats to forest ecosystem services associated with tree reproductive structure insects and pathogens in a changing world

 

ORGANISERS

Thomas Boivint¹, Marie-Anne Auger-Rozenberg² and Olle Rosenberg³

¹Mediterranean Forest Research Unit, INRA, France. ²Research Unit of Forest Zoology, France. ³Skogforsk, The Forestry Reasearch Institute, Sweden.

 

DESCRIPTION

Insects and pathogens exploiting tree reproductive structures are considered the most important constraint to the reproductive success of trees during the seed pre-dispersal phase. In a context in which the effects of both climate change and biological invasions are increasingly prevalent to these species, this session will propose experimental and theoretical contributions to biodiversity, biotic interactions and threat assessment and management associated with native and exotic insects and pathogens of tree reproductive structures.

 

DETAILS

Abstracts will be accepted for both posters and oral presentations. Authors are limited to a maximum of two abstracts as presenting author.

 

DEADLINES

Abstract submission deadline: December 31, 2018. Registration and payment deadline: May 31, 2018.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

You must be registered for the event to submit an abstract, but you may pay for registration later, up to May 31. Registration and abstract submission must be completed online at http://www.iufro2019.com/
