Dear Orthopterists, it is our pleasure to invite you to Kunming, Yunnan, China for the XIth International Congress of the Orthopterists´ Society. The meeting will be held from 11 to 15 August, 2013, in the Hotel of Yunnan University, situated on the University campus. The theme of this congress is “Orthoptera in Scientific Progress and Human Culture”. We are planning an exciting scientific program to share ideas and the latest findings in the various fields of Orthopterology, and to explore fundamental scientific research regarding all aspects of the biology of these insects, from ecology and taxonomy to physiology, phylogeny, genomics, biogeography, phylogeography, behavior, and control measures. Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province in the South of China, is in the centre of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, located at an elevation of 1,900 m above sea level. Yunnan has some of the most magical and diverse scenery in all of China, and is home to a third of China´s ethnic minorities. The province is also home to the nation’s greatest number of species of flora and fauna. It is known for its mild climate year-round. Do plan to stay a few extra days to explore other sites in Yunnan. ... [Information of the supplier]
Welcome to the 12th International Congress of Orthopterology. I am also very pleased to welcome you to Ilhéus and to Brazil. As the board of The Orthopterists’s Society decided in 2013, now the ICO will take place every 3 years. So, it is with great pleasure that I will host the next one here: from October 30th to November 03rd, 2016. The overall topic for this ICO is “Orthoptera in a Changing World”, which will raise fundamental questions about the current state of knowledge of Orthopera in different branches of science. In addition to global climate change, greater efforts have been made for more effective conservation policies. While we have a lot of undiscovered biodiversity, its loss is incessant. So, in this global context, we are eager to hear your insights and the results of your researches. ... [Information of the supplier]
We invite you to join us for the 13th International Congress of the Orthopterists' Society in Agadir (Morocco) from March 24-28, 2019, in the Hotel Palais des Roses. This Congress will be organized for the first time in Africa, under the sub-title "Challenges in front of Climatic and Environmental Changes". The congress will be organized in collaboration with the IBN Zohr University of Agadir, the National Center for Control of Desert Locust and the Orthopterists' Society which has 500 members from 60 countries in partnership with several national and international institutions. The International Congress on Orthopterology is an interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of new advances and research results in all aspects of Orthopterology. ...

Hemipterans are probably the most damaging agricultural pests worldwide not only as direct pests but also most importantly as vectors of plant pathogens. This is because of their unique feeding habits, great dispersal capacity, high population growth rate and ability to adapt and explore new habitats. Consequently, Hemipterans are well known as drivers of the emergence of new and existing plant-pathogenic viral and bacterial diseases. Examples of hemipterans acting as vectors of devastating emerging diseases in agriculture in the last decade include phloem feeders such as psyllids, transmitting Candidatus Liberibacter spp. associated with citrus huanglongbing, potato zebra chip and other vegetable disorders, as well as xylem-feeders such as sharpshoorters and spittlebugs, transmitting Xylella fastidiosa to vineyards in the USA or to olives in Italy. In addition, whiteflies and aphids cause year after year serious problems as virus vectors in horticultural crops all over the world. Hemipterans are also well known because of their high ability to develop resistance to insecticides, overcome host plant resistance genes and lack of susceptibility to most modern biotechnology-based approaches (eg. BT crops). Consequently, an interdisciplinary discussion forum of scientists working in different aspects of Hemipteran-Plant Interactions is strongly needed to tackle existing and future threats. The next 2017 Hemipteran-Plant Interactions Symposium (HPIS 2017) to be held in Madrid, Spain is the 3rd of the series (1st in Piracicaba, Brazil in 2011; 2nd in Riverside, CA, USA in 2014) and will bring together entomologists with expertise in phytophagous hemipterans and their host-plant interactions, plant physiologists and molecular biologists with expertise in plant defense, plant pathologists interested in transmission of plant pathogens, plant breeders and crop management specialists interested in pest and disease control. Presentations will be organized in cohesive sections covering a broad range of studies from basic aspects of systematics and plant-insect-pathogen interactions to more applied approaches focused on management of Hemipteran pests/plant diseases. ...

On behalf of the organising committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to Melbourne, Australia to attend the International Hemipteran-Plant Interactions Symposium (HPIS), which will take place in December 2022. The HPIS is an interdisciplinary, international congress, bringing together researchers who study phytophagous piercing/sucking insects, their complex interactions with their host plants, environment and pathogen transmission. The congress will bring together entomologists with expertise on phytophagous hemipteran insects (Orders Hemiptera and Thysanoptera) and their endosymbionts, plant biologists and physiologists with expertise on plant defences and responses to hemipteran feeding, and plant pathologists with expertise on transmission of plant pathogens by hemipterans. ...
