The conference continues the series of international symposia on the biological control of arthropods held every four years. The first meeting was held at Hawaii – USA during January 2002, followed by the Davos - Switzerland meeting during September 2005, and the latest was at Christchurch – New Zealand, during February 2009. The goal of these symposia is to create a forum where biological control researchers and practitioners can meet and exchange information, to promote discussions of up to date issues affecting biological control, particularly pertaining the use of parasitoids and predators as biological control agents. This includes all approaches to biological control: conservation, augmentation, and importation of natural enemy species for the control of arthropod targets, as well as transversal issues. The aim of the meeting is also to stimulate ideas by presenting new information. Therefore, all presentations should present original data from projects dealing with predators and parasitoids, avoiding overviews, summaries, or well known material. The 4th International Symposium on Biological Control of Arthropods will be organized following this concept. Proposals for ideas for scientific sessions, themes and session organizers will be received and selected by the scientific committee. Presentation selection will be responsibility of the session organizers in collaboration with the scientific committee. Submissions that are not accepted as oral presentations due to time restrictions will still be considered as poster presentations. ... [Information of the supplier]
The 5th International Symposium on Biological Control of Arthropods will take place in Langkawi, Malaysia, September 11-15, 2017. This conference continues the series of international symposia on the biological control of arthropods held every four years. Dr Roy Van Driesche was the founder of the symposia and held the first meeting in Hawaii in January 2002. The second meeting took place in Davos, Switzerland, in September 2005, the third in Christchurch, New Zealand, in February 2009 and the latest one was held in Pucón, Chile, in March 2013. The upcoming 5th symposium will follow the proven format and framework of the previous four symposia as they have all been very successful and highly appreciated by the participants. The goal of these symposia is to create a forum where biological control researchers and practitioners can meet to exchange information and discuss up-to-date issues relating to biological control. This includes the various approaches to biological control, e.g. conservation, augmentation, and importation of natural enemy species for the control of arthropod targets. It also encompasses various transversal issues, including the uptake of biological control and socio-economic impact. There will also be one or two sessions designed to enhance inter-disciplinary collaboration. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Dresden Meetings on Insect Phylogeny are dedicated to a broad variety of topics concerning the phylogeny of insects. This includes both the interordinal and intraordinal levels, both morphological and molecular work, and both extant and fossil taxa, as well as occasional methodological contributions. The 8th Dresden Meeting on Insect Phylogeny (2017) will not have a particular focus but will generally deal with frontline topics of phylogenetic research in insects. There will be ca. 30 talks presented by high-profile specialists, plus many poster presentations. The language of the Meeting is English. ... [Information of the supplier]

Science is the main course of the congresses and the WCM is an opportunity for malacologists from throughout the world to share their research and discuss their works or projects. There will be thematic symposia, open contributed papers and poster sessions; poster will remain on display during the congress. As in previous congresses, only one oral and one poster per presenting author will be allowed. ... [Information of the supplier]
The World Congress of Malacology 2019 will be held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, on 11-14 August 2019. The Symposium will present various topics concerning malacology. [Editorial staff vifabio]
The World Congress of Malacology in 2022 will be hosted by the Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns, SNSB and the Biological and Medical Faculty of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München during the first week of August, 2022 in the southwest of Munich. WCM 2022 follows its direct predecessors in Asilomar (California 2019), Penang (Malaysia 2016), and at the Azores (Portugal 2013), and many others since 1962, and we will celebrate its 60th birthday. The congress will be organized on behalf of UNITAS Malacologica by a team from SNSB, LMU and the Technische Universität München, headed by the president of UNITAS Malacologica, Gerhard Haszprunar. We are currently optimistic, that the global covid-19 pandemic will be resolved by summer 2022. We thus hope to welcome you all to Munich in person. ... [Information of the supplier]
The French national natural History Museum is glad to welcome you in the very heart of Paris for the meeting "Preservation of natural history wet collections: feedbacks and future prospects" held from December 5 through 7, 2018, at the Grande Galerie de l'Evolution (Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Jardin des Plantes). This meeting intend to gather the various French and Europeans players involved in the preservation of natural history wet collections. Through the sharing of experience, we hope to provide an inventory of preservation issues threatening these valuable collections and to discuss potential solutions that has been tested in different environments. The first half-day will be devoted to a workshop, animated by Dirk Neumann (Bavarian State Collection of Zoology, Munich, Germany) and Julian Carter (Wales Museum, Cardiff, UK) on best practices and practical solutions to preserve collections. ...
