SUMMARY:Evening online talk 2022 - Sophia Ratcliffe
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Entomological Society organises insect science conferences and events around the UK and the world for people at all stages of career and interest.\n\n\n\nBecoming a member entitles you to discounted (and sometimes free) access to the majority of events.\n\n\n\n\nBecome a RES Member\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Royal Entomological Society’s online talk series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese online meetings take place on the first Wednesday of the month from 19.30 to 20.45 (UK time). \n\n\n\nThere will also be an opportunity to hear some exciting updates about the Society and its activities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: All attendees\, including members\, must register below to receive the link to attend the talk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Sophia Ratcliffe\n\n\n\nNBN Atlas Data Manager \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n31 million and counting – Insect records on the NBN Atlas\n\n\n\nThe National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Atlas is the UK’s largest repository of publicly available biodiversity data. With more than 200 million records of 50\,000 UK species it is a vital resource for those who wish to understand and protect nature.  \n\n\n\nThis talk will introduce the NBN Trust\, the charity that runs the NBN Atlas\, and iNaturalistUK\, the collaboration between the NBN Trust\, Biological Records Centre and Marine Biological Association\, which supports and promotes the use of iNaturalist for wildlife recording in the UK. I will present an overview of the 31 million insect records on the NBN Atlas\, including how well different insect groups are represented on the NBN Atlas\, explore examples of how entomologists are using iNaturalistUK for their recording\, and illustrate the impact of sharing wildlife records both nationally and internationally through the Global Biodiversity Forum (GBIF). The flow of records into – and out of – the NBN Atlas\, including the automated transfer of records from iRecord and iNaturalistUK\, will be discussed\, and we will go through the guidance on submitting records to iNaturalistUK to make sure that every record can play its part in restoring nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter completing her PhD. on competition and coexistence in annual plant communities\, Sophia spent several years as a database and software developer. She moved back into academia working partly as the data manager for a European-wide project investigating the importance of biodiversity in European forests. Sophia has worked as an ecologist doing Phase One habitat surveys and volunteered as a biological recorder for her local Wildlife Trust. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers need to login to register for free

The presentation will focus on the benefits of searching for evidence of the species during the winter months and the huge value which can be added to our knowledge of the spread of this often-elusive species by the adoption of this tactic. The richly illustrated talk will describe how best to focus winter recording efforts\, exactly where best to search and\, importantly\, exactly what the clues of its presence look like in the field. \n\n\n\nMating Blue-tailed Damselflies by Erik Svensson\n\n\n\nA common endosymbiotic bacterium led to reduced genetic diversity in the Common Blue-tailed Damselfly (Ischnura elegans) \n\n\n\nJunchen Deng (Lund University) \n\n\n\nPopulation genetic diversity is closely linked with the ability of species to colonize new habitats. Although both abiotic and biotic factors can shape the genetic diversity of a population\, the effects of biotic factors are often unexplored. One of these biotic factors could be Wolbachia\, a common endosymbiotic bacterium found in >40% of insect species. Wolbachia can manipulate host reproduction in many ways and thus influence the genetic diversity of a population. Blue-tailed damselfly (Ischnura elegans)\, or Common Bluetail\, is a species expanding northward under global climate change. Although several studies have looked at the population genetics of I. elegans\, no one has investigated Wolbachia and its potential effects on the genetic diversity of this damselfly species. In our study\, we characterized Wolbachia diversity and genetic diversity of I. elegans populations across Europe by sequencing various Wolbachia and host genetic markers. Our results linked the reduction of genetic diversity of I. elegans populations to the infection of a Wolbachia strain. These findings provided an example of how endosymbiont infections can shape spatial variation in the genetic diversity of their host populations during range expansion. \n\n\n\nVariable Damselflies by Keith Noble\n\n\n\nDragonflies of Llangorse Lake \n\n\n\nKeith Noble (County Dragonfly Recorder for Breconshire) \n\n\n\nLlangorse Lake is the largest natural water body in south/mid-Wales and is important for a wide range of wildlife. In recent years the number of dragonfly species has increased and this summer the Lake was recognised as a Dragonfly Hotspot\, with good support from local organisations and the community. I shall illustrate the talk with my own photographs. \n\n\n\nImage: Willow Emerald Damselfly by Thomas Bresson \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOther\n\n\n\nRequirements \n\n\n\nBooking required: Register here \n\n\n\nContact: eleanor.colver@british-dragonflies.org.uk

SUMMARY:Alien Species in the Maltese islands - Online Meeting with David Mifsud
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\nAlien Species in the Maltese islands \n\n\n\nOnline Meeting with Professor David Mifsud\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDespite the fact that the central Mediterranean Islands of the Maltese archipelago are surrounded by the sea and the nearest land mass (Sicily) is some 90 km away\, almost all alien species of insects that invaded the Mediterranean basin managed to find their way also to Malta. A brief overview will be provided of these alien species and their possible introductory pathways discussed. Their impacts on the natural environment will also be highlighted. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to those who attended our ‘Alien Species in the Maltese islands’ online meeting with Professor David Mifsud live.\n\n\n\nWe were able to successfully record this meeting and are pleased to be able to share this with you if you missed it\, or just wanted to watch it again! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: All attendees\, including members\, must register below to receive the link to attend the talk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor David Mifsud graduated with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biology from the University of Malta and then he continued his studies in Switzerland (Basel) from where he earned a Ph.D. in zoology. He is also a Fellow of the Linnean Society (FLS) and of the Royal Entomological Society (FRES). He was also awarded the National Order of Merit (MOM) for his vast contributions in the study of entomology. Currently\, David holds the post of Associate Professor in Entomology at the Department of Rural Sciences and Food Technology at the Institute of Earth Systems\, University of Malta and he is also Director of the Centre for the Liberal Arts and Sciences. He also serves on government boards mainly related to plant health and beekeeping. \n\n\n\nDavid is also President of the Entomological Society of Malta (ESM) and Founder of the Association of Maltese Apiculturists (AMA). Both NGOs are directly linked with the study and dissemination of information on insects\, a subject\, for which David dedicated most of his career. \n\n\n\nDavid published more about 200 publications in scientific journals. Most of his publications focus on studies related to biodiversity with special reference to that of the Maltese Islands. His main area of research is that pertaining to the study of insects (entomology)\, but he is also actively involved in other studies such as that for mites\, plant pathogenic fungi and plant parasitic nematodes. David has also described more than 80 species of insects new to science. \n\n\n\nDavid is editor of a peer-reviewed scientific journal devoted to the study of insects\, the “Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Malta”. In these last eight years\, David managed to involve 30 Maltese naturalists and some more than 80 scientists from abroad to publish their original research work pertaining mostly to the study of Maltese insects in this journal. In fact\, to-date nine volumes have been published which contain around over 150 scientific publications\, providing information on more than 1\,600 species of insects which occur in the natural environment of out islands. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote – We do not provide recordings of events or presentations as standard\, unless otherwise stated.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: All attendees\, including members\, must register below to receive the link to attend the talk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers need to login to register for free
