Physiological Entomology today is a distinguished journal with a unique focus on insects and arthropods\, investigating their functioning and adaptations using experimental methods. Topics include systems physiology\, morphology\, neurobiology\, and molecular toxicology\, providing valuable insights into insect evolutionary success. This session highlights the work of two of our newest Editors-in-Chief\, Nick Teets and Thies Buscher. \n\n\n\nNick TeetsUniversity of Kentucky \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNick Teets is an Associate Professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Kentucky. His lab primarily investigates the mechanisms by which insects survive extreme and variable environmental conditions. Specific topics include phenotypic plasticity in thermal tolerance\, mechanisms of adaptation in Antarctic insects\, and overwintering biology of pest and invasive species. The lab also investigates practical implications of this work\, including the influence of abiotic conditions on genetically based pest control strategies\, and embryo cryopreservation. Aside from research\, Nick instructs a general entomology course and a molecular genetics course taken by students majoring in biotechnology.  \n\n\n\nTalk title: Entomology in Antarctica: environmental adaptations in the world’s southernmost insect \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThies BüscherKiel University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThies H. Büscher is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department for Functional Morphology and Biomechanics at Kiel University\, Germany. He is a functional morphologist interested in how insects interact with surfaces in their environment. His research combines morphology\, biomechanics\, behaviour\, ecology and evolution. Specifically\, his main interests focus on the mechanical interaction between attachment systems of different insects with their environments\, including the surfaces of other animals. How attachment systems are designed in various insect taxa\, how these are adapted to their respective environments and the physical drivers of diversification of these systems can be informative for a broad field of other interests\, including crop protection\, conservation and engineering.  \n\n\n\nTalk title: Attachment systems of insects: environmental adaptations on the mechanical level URL:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/event/online-talk-physiological-entomology/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Online-Talk-Physiological-Entomology.png LOCATION:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/event/online-talk-physiological-entomology/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20240502T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20240502T160000 DTSTAMP:20260404T095029 CREATED:20231120T154001Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240430T084613Z UID:10000135-1714644000-1714665600@www.royensoc.co.uk SUMMARY:Forest Invertebrates: Challenges and Solutions DESCRIPTION:Thursday 2 May\, 10:00 – 16:00 (BST)Online \n\n\n\nJoin our Forest Invertebrates Special Interest Group (SIG) at their next meeting\, taking place online. The Forest Invertebrate group encourages students of all ages\, practitioners\, amateurs and academics\, and anyone with an interest in trees\, forests and the invertebrates within them\, to add to our conversations. \n\n\n\nThis online meeting aims to highlight a range of topical issues facing forest invertebrates in Britain and beyond\, providing an opportunity to share knowledge\, research and observations\, and to generate discussion and engagement. The meeting will include a series of short presentations (15 mins) as well as informal ‘invertebrate updates’ (5 minutes)\, and an opportunity for ‘open to all’ topical discussion.  \n\n\n\nThe meeting will take a challenges vs solutions approach. Broken into two halves\, the morning will discuss the challenges we are facing and the afternoon will focus on solutions\, with a conservation focus. Topics are drawn from the RES grand challenges themes and include\, but are not limited to: \n\n\n\n\nChanging pest threats\n\n\n\nClimate change impacts\n\n\n\nConservation options and outlook\n\n\n\nDrivers and consequences of change\n\n\n\nMonitoring techniques\n\n\n\nProblems facing forest invertebrates\, such as declines in abundance or diversity\, habitat loss\, or management issues\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote speakers\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to welcome the following keynote speakers. \n\n\n\nRuth Mitchell\, The James Hutton Institute\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Ruth Mitchell is leader of the Biodiversity and Ecosystems group at the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen. She also leads the Biodiversity Topic for the Scottish Government Rural Affairs\, Food and Environment Strategic Research Programme. She is a plant and soil ecologist with 20 years experience of working on a wide range of applied ecological research projects. Recently her work has focused on trees and the impact of declines in trees\, such as oak and ash\, on wider biodiversity. Her work also looks at mitigation and which tree species are the most suitable ecological replacements for UK tree species currently impacted by non-native pests and pathogens. She is currently leading the Treescapes project DiversiTree. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiona Plenderleith\, Forest Research\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiona is an ecologist with an interest in woodland connectivity. She is particularly interested in exploring how species disperse through different features of the landscape (e.g. dispersal through newly created woodlands). Her research uses data on species movement (obtained through tracking or landscape genetics) and spatial modelling tools to assess functional connectivity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiona and Ruth will present jointly on: Ash dieback – consequences for invertebrates and mitigation strategies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNigel Straw\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Nigel Straw worked in the Tree Health Division of Forest Research for over 30 years on a wide range of forest insects\, and since 2020 he has continued research as an Emeritus Research Fellow\, focussing on invertebrate predators of aphids in the tree canopy\, the management of oak processionary moth\, and long-term effects of horse-chestnut leaf-miner and pathogens on urban and rural horse-chestnut trees. \n\n\n\nThe problem with trees: they’re big\, they’re slow\, and they live a long time \n\n\n\nStudying insects on trees faces particular challenges\, not least in how to access the canopy and in devising suitable sampling programmes. But trees also change over time\, in size\, structure and physiology\, and these changes can have a major influence how insects and trees interact. Some of these issues become apparent when comparing the response of young and mature trees to insect attack\, and how events earlier in the life of a tree can influence the response to insects\, and pathogens\, many years later. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract submission\n\n\n\nAbstract submission is now closed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nForest-Invertebrates-SIG-ProgrammeDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open at the bottom of this page.

Now\, more than ever\, we need to explicitly build the body of research associated with the beneficial insects of city and peri-urban spaces. This session will highlight key research in this area from a recent Special Issue in RES journal Insect Conservation and Diversity on The Ecology and Conservation of Urban Insects. \n\n\n\nWe will welcome two authors from this special issue to speak live about their research\, as well as hear short videos from additional authors. You will then have an opportunity to ask questions live. The session will be chaired by Special Issue Editor\, C.M. (Tilly) Collins. \n\n\n\nCecilie SvenningsenNatural History Museum of Denmark \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCecilie S. Svenningsen is a data administrator at the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and an external researcher at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. During her PhD studies and Postdoctoral research\, she combined citizen science and DNA metabarcoding to examine large-scale effects of land cover and land use on insect communities. As a data administrator\, she works with biodiversity data publishers and users\, with a focus on data standards\, ecological and DNA-derived data. Her professional passions are data reusability and controlled vocabularies while her spare time is used on wildlife gardening and sci-fi. \n\n\n\nYou can read Cecilie’s Special Issue paper here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFelipe WalterUniversidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)\, Brazil \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFelipe Walter Pereira is a PhD student at the Ecology and Evolution post-graduate program from Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)\, Brazil\, and has recently obtained his master’s degree in Entomology from Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)\, Brazil. Felipe studies wild bees and has experience with communities of bees in urban environments\, as well as geographic distribution of species. In his current research\, his main interests are in the ecology\, conservation\, biogeography\, and evolution of bees\, particularly global diversity patterns\, biodiversity shortfalls\, and climate change effects on geographic distributions.   \n\n\n\nYou can read Felipe’s Special Issue paper here.

Although she began her research career by studying birds\, she saw the light about 15 years ago when she realised she could ask much more interesting evolutionary questions if she focused her work on insects. Her current research combines experimental evolution on laboratory populations of burying beetles with field experiments and population genomics. \n\n\n\nRebecca became 1866 Professor of Zoology at Cambridge University in 2023\, was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2021 and in 2010 received the Scientific Medal from the Zoological Society of London. You can listen to her talking about her work on the BBC Radio 4’s Life Scientific. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nTo attend in person\, we encourage you to register for free at the bottom of the page to avoid queues at the venue.

In addition to managing the national database of records for bees and hoverflies\, Una has had a leading role in training and capacity building of biological recorders. She regularly blogs and interacts with the media to spread awareness about biodiversity and insect recording in Ireland to the general public. \n\n\n\nÚna has been involved in insect conservation in Ireland and globally for almost 20 years\, and has had a huge and transformative role in recording\, promoting and conserving insects in that time. Una has had an impressive and varied career to date bridging the gap between ecology\, citizen science\, the general public and conservation. \n\n\n\nFollowing a degree in Botany\, her PhD focussed on plant genetics based on islands in the South Pacific. On finishing her PhD she became also interested in insects\, and worked to produce some of the seminal work on bee diversity in Ireland\, including the first National Red List of bees ever published (Fitzpatrick et al. 2006) as well as some of the first published literature on bee decline in Ireland (Fitzpatrick et al. 2007b\, Fitzpatrick et al. 2007a). \n\n\n\nSince 2007\, Una has worked as an Ecologist and then Senior Ecologist at the National Biodiversity Data Centre – Ireland’s central repository for national biodiversity data and GBIF node (www.biodiversityireland.ie). Since this time\, Una has been an inspiration to biodiversity recorders and citizen scientists around Ireland\, and a driving force in national interest in biodiversity\, biodiversity monitoring and conservation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers need to login to register for free URL:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/event/online-talk-november-2023-una-fitzpatrick/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Una-image-scaled-e1659454184125.jpg LOCATION:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/event/online-talk-november-2023-una-fitzpatrick/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231016T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231020T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T095029 CREATED:20220105T172851Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230822T132342Z UID:10000079-1697446800-1697821200@www.royensoc.co.uk SUMMARY:XII European Congress of Entomology (ECE) 2023 - External Event DESCRIPTION:The Royal Entomological Society frequently hosts and advertises UK and international events year-round for people of all stages of interest and career.\n\n\n\nBecoming a member entitles you to discounts (and sometimes free) access to majority of events.\n\n\n\n\nBecome a RES Member\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nECE2023 is scheduled to take place in Heraklion\, Crete\, Greece.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Royal Entomological Society is a Silver Sponsor of ECE 2023 and looks forward to taking part in the conference.  Simon Ward (CEO)\, Emilie Aimé (Head of Publishing)\, Luke Tilley (Director of Communications & Engagement)\, Fran Sconce (Senior Outreach & Learning Officer) and Anne Weinhold (Business Development and Fundraising Manager) will be on our booth in the exhibition. \n\n\n\nSeveral of our staff members will be presenting within the scientific sessions.  Luke Tilley has an oral presentation about the RES Grand Challenges in Entomology project\, and how the entomological community can address these issues and engage with policy makers.  Fran Sconce has a poster presentation about outreach activities at the RES\, collaboration with other organisations and future opportunities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganised by the Hellenic Entomological Society.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn behalf of the Organizing Committee of the ECE 2023 and the Hellenic Entomological Society\, we are delighted to invite entomologists from around the globe to the XII European Congress of Entomology (ECE 2023)\, which will be held in Heraklion\, Crete\, on 16-20 October 2023. \n\n\n\nThe ECE 2023 audience consists of researchers and academics from a diverse range of entomology related fields\, as well as policy-makers\, field agronomists\, crop protection experts\, medical practitioners\, engineers\, social scientists and artists. \n\n\n\nThe historic\, as well as magnificent island of Crete sets the ideal scenery for ECE 2023.

Sustainable agriculture is faced with a multitude of challenges in the coming decades\, from increasing pressure to produce for a growing global population\, to climate change and the associated range shift of pests. Since insects are central to our food systems as protectors\, pollinators and pests\, entomological research is optimally placed to monitor and manage these challenges. \n\n\n\nThis meeting will cover all aspects of entomology for sustainable agriculture\, and will specifically focus on biomonitoring\, translation of research into practice and engagement of practitioners and the public. Alongside invited talks from some exceptional leading researchers across these topics\, we will hold an interactive session on current advances in biomonitoring\, how this subfield may evolve into the future and the implications of this for land management and policy.

Site tours will showcase the insect science at Rothamsted Research\, encompassing the Rothamsted Insect Survey\, the Insectary\, and the on-site suction trap and light traps. \n\n\n\nThe Rothamsted Insect Survey (RIS) has been running two trap networks since 1964. Its long-term data are unique providing information on aphids\, larger moths and many other migrating insects to scientists\, growers\, conservation organisations\, individuals and policy makers. As such\, the networks represent the most comprehensive standardised long-term data on insects in the world and have a wide range of fundamental and applied uses. Visitors can see the insect survey lab\, and hear how the team processes samples from the suction trap and light trap network\, then see examples of the traps in situ. \n\n\n\nThe Insectary is a specialised facility that maintains a range of both indigenous and exotic insect species for scientific purposes. Visitors can view the insect rearing and insect behaviour study rooms\, designed to provide controlled temperature\, lighting\, humidity and airflow. The facility holds DEFRA plant health licences for importing\, maintaining and working with many exotic insect species. Most compartments are licensed for the effective containment of quarantined species and insecticide-resistant strains. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nIn-person:RES Student Member £20RES Member £45Non-Member £100\n\n\n\nOnline:RES Student Member £5RES Member £20Non-Member £70\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch: info@royensoc.co.uk URL:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/event/sustainable-agriculture-23/ LOCATION:Rothamsted Conference Centre\, West Common\, Harpenden\, Hertfordshire\, AL5 2JQ\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.royensoc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/DSC_0232c.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230925T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230926T163000 DTSTAMP:20260404T095029 CREATED:20230718T084923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230920T092410Z UID:10000124-1695636000-1695745800@www.royensoc.co.uk SUMMARY:Aquatic Insects Special Interest Group (SIG) 2023 DESCRIPTION:Monday 25 and Tuesday 26 September 2023World Museum Liverpool \n\n\n\nOur Aquatic Insects SIG would like to invite you to an in-person event at the World Museum Liverpool in collaboration with the Tanypetera Trust. \n\n\n\nThis two day event will include a mix of talks\, tours of the museum collection\, using microscopes\, and a practical workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nThe key themes of the event will be led by the following speakers: \n\n\n\n\nIan Wallis\, World Museum Liverpool: How to help Britain’s rarest caddis\n\n\n\nRachel Stubbington\, Nottingham Trent University: Life in the drying streams of a wet country: the invertebrate biodiversity of UK temporary streams \n\n\n\nMartin Winter\, Environment Agency: Developing digital tools and resources for identification: EA Bug App\n\n\n\nJohn Murray Bligh\, Environment Agency: The River Invertebrate Classification Tool: past present and applications\n\n\n\n\nDay 1\n\n\n\nRegistration is necessary to take part in the first day\, which also includes access to the workshop on the second day if you wish to attend both. \n\n\n\nThe morning session will be led by key speakers\, covering the key themes of ‘Morphology and Identification’ and ‘Management and Conservation’.
