<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Society will be holding a meeting during the
ESA annual meeting in Vancouver (11-14 November 2018 -<a href="https://www.entsoc.org/events/annual-meeting/about-2018">https://www.entsoc.org/events/annual-meeting/about-2018</a>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will have a students' symposium, and I am delighted to announce that Brian Fisher, from the California Academy of Sciences, will be giving a talk:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why are entomologists sitting on the conservation
sidelines? Insects and People (IPSIO.org): efforts to end the silence on
habitat loss in Madagascar.</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Insects
are everywhere, yet invisible in most conservation efforts. Since terrestrial
ecosystems make no sense except in light of insects, this is short-sighted and
unfortunate. The time is now for entomologists to end their silence on the loss
of insect habitats. After all, how much tropical forest will be left in 50
years?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Madagascar,
a locus of biodiversity research, is a prime example. Since 2001, we have
inventoried over 350 localities across the island, visiting all major habitats,
soil types and bioclimates, processing millions of specimens, training
students, and collaborating with 180 taxonomists. Despite the scale of this effort,
knowing the name of any insect, its habits, its distribution, whether it is endangered,
or whether it is invasive remains difficult. Given the breakneck speed of
habitat destruction, shouldn’t we try to apply our knowledge to protect
habitats, monitor ecosystems, and link the health of humans to that of the
natural world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Large-scale
biodiversity inventories have failed to save a single forest. The current entomological
effort could be characterized as haphazard and opportunistic and does not focus
on concrete conservation advances. Instead, taxonomic advances are driven by individual
interests and not on collective need.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
Insects and People of the Southwest Indian Ocean (IPSIO) network aims to help
entomologists focus their efforts on local outcomes. IPSIO provides the
organizational infrastructure to translate taxonomic research into conservation
improvements, providing vetted data for conservation assessments, forest
restoration, and invasive species monitoring. Other efforts include using
insects as food and insects in tourism.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span>The Society has created these awards to support and encourage postgraduate
students working on the systematics, ecology, physiology or some other aspect
of the insect order Hymenoptera, which is being undertaken as part of a
postgraduate program (MSc, PhD or equivalent qualification). They will be
advertised on a regular basis through the Society. For this round, the
Endowment has allocated funds for <u>two US$1,000 travel awards</u> specifically
to attend the International Congress of Entomology in Orlando, Florida (25-30
September, 2016). To be eligible for one of these travel awards a student <u>must</u>
be giving a poster or oral presentation at the conference, and be enrolled for
their postgraduate studies at an institution within a country other than the 30
most developed countries, as defined by the UN (see below). Supervisors must be

<span id="goog_354542389"></span><span id="goog_354542390"></span>June 14 – June 20, 2015 This seminar will focus on gaining an overview of the basic taxonomy and ecology of the ants of Maine and New England. We will spend time introducing the skills and methods for collecting and identifying the ant genera and species that are found in the region. Field trips will focus on collecting ants from different natural communities and lectures will emphasize ant identification, collection technique, and ecology. Lab work will be dedicated to identification of ants collected during field trips or brought from home. Proper collection methods and appropriate sample curation and handling will be emphasized. Participants from any background – entomologists, graduate students, managers, or excited naturalists – are all encouraged to attend.Irene Moonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03616760581474244555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763944355471303194.post-56496213244138277022015-01-29T07:50:00.002-08:002015-01-29T07:50:18.948-08:00Ant Course 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The project is highly integrated and includes a lot of travel to exotic places.<br /><br />ISH should consider sponsoring a Hymenoptera Symposium for the ICE meetings in 2016. Note that the deadline for submissions is March 2, 2015, every presenter can only have one primary talk or poster at the meeting, and sessions with sponsors will get higher consideration. We provided $1500 in travel funds to ICE presenters in Korea. We could offer the same sponsorship for Orlando (note the last item was not discussed at the meeting, and should be discussed by the Executive Committee).<br />

<i>Discussion </i></div>
<div class="p14">
A discount for publication costs of student papers would be desirable. The layout of the journal artificially inflates the page numbers. Pensoft seems to object to a larger page format. The 5 year contract with Pensoft ends in 2016. The new ISH executive under incoming president Jim Whitfield will prepare a document with suggestions to send to Lyubomir Penev. </div>

The balance of ISH will be around $6,500 USD by the end of 2014. <a href="https://ishare.ucr.edu/xythoswfs/webui/_xy-4465811_1-t_O6jnXdrp">See slides</a> of business meeting for details on income and expenses.</div>

<b>4. Endowment Report</b> (Jim Woolley) </div>
<div class="p2">
The total of the ISH endowment funds is $70,130.21 USD ($70,130.21 savings, $15,364.68 time account). Currently the endowment funds do not create any interest rate. A slightly less risk-conserved strategy might be necessary to gain interest in the future. </div>

<b>5. Secretary’s report </b>(Lars Krogmann) </div>
<div class="p2">
The number of ISH members show a very positive trend. In 2014 ISH has 285 members (191 regular, 73 student, 12 life). This is a plus of 98 members. The reasons for the membership increase are the ISH congress and probably also the increase of reminder letters. However, 13% of former ISH members (36 in total) have still not renewed for 2014. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
A few suggestions from the webmaster, treasurer and secretary are put up for discussion: </div>
<div class="p3">
<i>Occasional special issues in JHR </i></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li12">These could be on special topics (may be „non-systematics“ topics to <span class="s1"><br />
</span>attract potential members from fields that are not well covered by ISH, yet).<span class="s1"><br />
</span></li>
<li class="li12">A „Young Taxonomist‘s Issue“ for student members (may be our student representative <span class="s1"><br />
</span>Rebecca could help editing?).<span class="s1"><br />
</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="p13">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<i>Review article about the history of ISH </i></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li12">Should also outline the mission of the society and the advantages of being a member. </li>
<li class="li12">Could be a task for the new archivist. </li>
</ul>
<div class="p13">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<i>ISH Branding </i></div>
<div class="p11">
•<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>We should link more activities that already exist in our society (e.g., Hymenoptera course, workshops) to ISH. </div>
<div class="p3">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p3">
<i>ISH topics </i></div>
<div class="p15">
•<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>We should try to attract ISH members from fields, that are not well represented: e.g., pollination, ecology, social insects. Or do we want to be a „systematics-only“ society </div>
<div class="p3">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="p3">
<i>Renewing </i></div>

<i>Membership listserver </i></div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li12">From now on we will maintain 2 types of lists: </li>
<li class="li12">One list that comprises only the current members (i.e. those that have renewed). </li>
<li class="li12">One list that comprises also the list of members that have not renewed for the current year. </li>
<li class="li12">Only current members will receive hamuli. Past members will still receive renewal reminders. </li>

The ISH website becomes increasingly popular with hits from most countries of the world.<span class="s1"><br />
</span>The website should get a new look and should be part of a professional management site (groupspaces). <span class="s1"><br />
