A gall is an abnormal growth produced by a plant or other host under the influence of another organism. Most galls are caused by fungi or invertebrates. Prominent among the latter are aphids (Aphidae), mites (Acari), psyllids (Psyllidae), gall-midges (Cecidomyiidae), gall-flies (Tephritidae), gall-wasps (Cynipidae) and sawflies (Symphyta), but a wide range of other invertebrates are included. Galls can also be caused by viruses, bacteria and phytoplasmas. The British Plant Gall Society (BPGS), founded in 1985, aims to encourage and co-ordinate the study of plant galls, with particular reference to the British Isles. The society publishes the journal Cecidology. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

Purpose: The DGaaE ("German Society for General and Applied Entomology") unites entomologists who are engaged in this research field by profession or privately. It is the purpose of the society to support entomological research and to gather and communicate the existing knowledge in entomology. In favour of these tasks the DGaaE promotes personal contact, exchange of information, and the national and international cooperation of professional and amateur entomologists. Activities: Every second year, the DGaaE organizes an international congress. Study groups are regularly meeting for several special subjects - partly in cooperation with other scientific societies. The DGaaE periodically gives awards for important contributions to entomology: the FabriciusMedal for basic research, the Karl Escherich- Medal for applied research, and the Meigen-Medal for systematic and faunistic research. The excellent work of a young scientist (e.g. a thesis) is granted by the Weiss/Wiehe-Foundation every second year. Journals: The Mitteilungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für allgemeine und angewandte Entomologie contain publications of the lectures and the posters held at the congresses of the DGaaE. Three or four times a year, an issue of the DGaaE-Nachrichten is published to inform the members about the latest news. Furthermore, members may receive further entomological journals at a decreased rate (currently the journals Entomologia generalis and Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift). Membership: Currently the DGaaE comprises some 860 members worldwide. Annual membership dues are at a rate of 40,00 Euro (ca. 40 US $) and include the receipt of the two journals DGaaE Nachrichten and Mitteilungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für allgemeine und angewandte Entomologie. We cordially invite you to join the DGaaE. ... [Information of the supplier]

Die entomologische Arbeit hat in Sachsen-Anhalt eine lange Tradition. So waren bereits im 19. Jahrhundert eifrige Insektenfreunde in Vereinen organisiert, um gemeinsam Forschungen zur Faunistik zu betreiben. Die vielfältigen Publikationen im Zusammenhang mit der Zeitschrift "Mitteilungen aus der Entomologischen Gesellschaft zu Halle", in der auch regelmäßig Magdeburger publizierten, belegen dies. Neben der bereits um die Jahrhundertwende zum 20. Jahrhundert aktiven Entomologischen Gesellschaft zu Halle existierte bereits im 19. Jahrhundert in Magdeburg eine Allgemeine Gesellschaft für Entomologie. Hier bildete sich 1920 aus mehreren Vereinen die "Entomologische Gesellschaft zu Magdeburg", die dann ähnlich wie die Hallenser Gesellschaft bis nach dem 2. Weltkrieg Bestand hatte. Mit der administrativen Umstrukturierung in der DDR entwickelten sich unter dem Dach des Kulturbundes lokale und überregionale Fachgruppen für Entomologie in den Bezirken Halle und Magdeburg. Aus den ehemaligen Fachgruppen der Bezirke Halle und Magdeburg entwickelte sich mit der Bildung des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt ab 1991 die Entomologen-Vereinigung Sachsen-Anhalt. ...
