Aphid Special Interest Group

Convenor: Dr Brian Fenton brian.fenton@hutton.ac.uk

Provisional main speakers are:

  • George Jander (The Boyce Thompson Institute, Cornell University)
    The Jander Lab uses genetic and biochemical approaches to study plant-insect interactions and plant amino acid metabolism. We employ the small crucifer Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) as a model system for most of our research.
  • Aart van Bel (Justus Liebig University Giessen)
    Our work focuses on cell biology of sieve element / companion cell modules in seed plants, but extends to many aspects of phloem physiology from the molecular up to the ecophysiological level.

We plan to arrange for a minibus from Edinburgh airport to Dundee leaving at around 9.00 arriving Dundee at 10.00. The meeting will start at 10.30. The meeting will end by 16.00 and the minibus will return to the airport by 17.00.

Welcome

The Royal Entomological Society plays a major national and international role in disseminating information about insects and improving communication between entomologists.

The Society was founded in 1833 as the Entomological Society of London and is the successor to a number of short-lived societies dating back to 1745.

The first meetings were held in the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's Street. Various other places in their turn became the scene of the Society's activities before the freehold of the headquarters at 41 Queen's Gate was bought in 1920, where the Society stayed until 2007 when the Mansion House at St Albans was purchased.

In 1855 a Royal Charter was granted to the Entomological Society by Queen Victoria and the privilege of adding the word "Royal" to the title was granted by King George V in 1933, the Centenary of the Society's foundation.

Many eminent scientists of the past, Darwin and Wallace to mention but two, have been Fellows of the Society. Through the years most internationally recognised entomologists have been and are, numbered among the Fellowship.
