SUMMARY:Insect Hour: The Mosquito Diaries
DESCRIPTION:Insect Hour: The Mosquito Diaries\n\n\n\nWelcome the second talk in our online series exploring Grand Challenges in Entomology. \n\n\n\nInsect Hour will be held every second Wednesday of the month* from 1pm-2pm (UK time). All are welcome – talks are free to attend and open to both RES members and non-members. \n\n\n\nRegister to attend below\, grab a cuppa or sandwich and join us on Zoom! There will be time for questions and discussion towards the end of the session. \n\n\n\n* Excluding August\, September\, and January \n\n\n\n\nRead more about Insect Hour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTalk summary\n\n\n\nAn overview of a 50-year journey getting to know\, love and hate the mosquito.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do they become resistant to insecticides? \n\n\n\nWhat can we do in practical terms to overcome this?\n\n\n\nCan we sequence and mine the who Anopheles genome to get a better understanding of resistance? \n\n\n\nHow do we re-start the production of new public health insecticides before we reach the point we can no longer control them?\n\n\n\nHow do we improve the products that are already in use\, so they are more effective?\n\n\n\nWhat impact does the insect’s insecticide resistance status have on its ability to transmit disease?\n\n\n\nHow do we reduce the barriers to regulatory or normative guidance to get more effective mosquito control into use?\n\n\n\nHow can we get point of use quality assurance in place to improve the quality and application of insect control?\n\n\n\n\nThese and many more questions have been tackled\, some more some less successfully over the years of a lifelong fascination with this deadliest of insects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\nJanet Hemingway\, FRS\, CBE – iiCON Founding Director\, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanet Hemingway was Professor of Tropical Medicine at LSTM and Founding Director of the Infection Innovation Consortium (iiCON). Responding to the growing challenge of infectious diseases\, antimicrobial resistance\, and emerging pandemics\, iiCON brings together academic\, industry\, and clinical partners in a £360 million programme to transform the discovery and supply of much-needed anti-infectives and accelerate their journey to market. \n\n\n\n\n\nJanet was a senior technical advisor on Neglected Tropical Diseases for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and PI on projects in excess of £370 million including the BMGF funded Innovative Vector Control Consortium\, the ERDF funded Formulations programme and the BMGF funded Visceral Leishmaniasis Elimination programme. \n\n\n\nShe was appointed Director of LSTM in 2001 and stepped down on 1st January 2019. She was awarded a CBE for services to the Control of Tropical Disease Vectors in 2012. Janet is also a Past President of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

SUMMARY:Insect Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:Stand tall for the small this Insect Week\n\n\n\nInsect Week is our annual celebration of the little things that run the world\, dedicated to encouraging people of all ages to learn more about insects.\n\n\n\nThe Royal Entomological Society organises the week\, supported by a large number of partner organisations with interests in the science\, natural history and conservation of insects. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to all types of activities relating to insects including: art workshops\, bug hunts\, talks\, exhibitions\, discussion panels\, media programmes\, interactive exhibitions\, art performances\, school visits. If you would like to host an activity\, please contact Fran Sconce.\n\n\n\nFind out more at www.insectweek.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is an insect?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy are they important?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is an entomologist?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet involved\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind an event\n\n\n\nVisit the Insect Week Events page to find an event near you during Insect Week. We will be listing some of these nearer the time. \n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning an event during Insect Week? \n\n\n\nSubmit your event here and we will advertise it on our websites. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWant to organise an event but not sure where to start? \n\n\n\nVisit our Organise an Event page for information to help you get your event up and running for Insect Week. \n\n\n\n\n\nBiological Records \n\n\n\nBiological records build a picture of where an insect species occurs (distribution)\, when it occurs in the year (phenology) and the habitat the insect is associated with (ecology). To monitor insect species\, and see whether they are increasing or decreasing\, we need detailed biological records to be collated over time. Your records can help ‘measure the health’ of insects in the UK.  \n\n\n\nLearn how to Record Insect Species here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCompetitions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInsect Week Photography Competition\n\n\n\nThe Insect Week Photography Competition is back again this year!

SUMMARY:Plant-insect interactions between the pealeaf weevil and pulse hosts implications for control in their invasive range - External
DESCRIPTION:Seminar: Plant-insect interactions between the pea leaf weevil\, Sitona lineatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and pulse hosts in Alberta\, Canada with implications for control in their invasive range\n\n\n\nJoin for a relaxed and insightful discussion of leading Canadian research into the Pea Leaf Weevil Sitona lineatus \n\n\n\nDate and location: 24 June 2026 @ 1pm\, Rothamsted Research\, West Common\, Harpenden\, Hertfordshire\, AL5 2JQ \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaya Evenden 2026_finalDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Maya Evenden from University of Alberta will be visiting Pherosyn and giving a seminar.  \n\n\n\nChemical signals underpin essential insect behaviours\, from mate finding and foraging to habitat selection. However\, the efficacy of these signals is often mediated by the physiological state of the insect and its surrounding ecological context. \n\n\n\nUsing an eco-physiological lens\, this talk explores the mechanisms governing insect movement and response to chemical cues across several model species. Maya will highlight recent research from her lab\, including the work of three of her PhD students on: \n\n\n\n\nThe effect of Rhizobium on pea leaf weevil host interactions\n\n\n\nHost‑finding behaviour of pea leaf weevil\n\n\n\nConservation biological control of pea leaf weevil\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Maya Evenden is a Professor at the University of Alberta\, where she has been a faculty member since 2003. Her research focuses on insect chemical ecology\, specifically examining intra- and inter-specific interactions across multiple trophic levels.  \n\n\n\nThis work facilitates the development of semiochemical-based management strategies\, including mating disruption\, attracticides\, and pheromone-based monitoring programs. \n\n\n\n\n\nAn active educator and communicator\, Dr. Evenden developed the “Bugs 101” Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)\, which has reached a global audience and earned her the Entomological Society of America’s Science Communication Award. Her commitment to pedagogy and student development has further been recognized through University of Alberta awards for remote teaching and graduate mentorship. \n\n\n\nDr. Evenden has held numerous leadership roles within the scientific community\, serving as President of the Entomological Societies of Alberta and Canada\, and the International Branch of the Entomological Society of America. In recognition of her sustained contributions to the field\, she was awarded the 2023 Entomological Society of Canada (ESC) Gold Medal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here
