The Entomological Society of America (ESA), Entomological Society of Canada (ESC), and the Entomological Society of British Columbia (ESBC) are excited to be hosting the 2022 Joint Annual Meeting November 13-16 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The theme for the 2022 ESA, ESC, and ESBC Joint Annual Meeting is Entomology as Inspiration: Insects through art, science, and culture.
The 2022 JAM will be offering opportunities to present and attend both in person in Vancouver as well as online virtual content only. Voir la version Française
10-MINUTE PRESENTATIONS, POSTERS, INFOGRAPHICS, STUDENT COMPETITION ABSTRACTS, MINI-WORKSHOPS, AND FUNCTIONS ARE NOW OPEN AND ARE DUE FRIDAY, JUNE 3.
Sea turtles are a charismatic and ecologically important, yet imperiled, group of marine reptiles. This course introduces students to these fascinating and complex animals through lectures and class discussions. Topics include life histories, physiological adaptations to marine life, homing and navigation, nesting, ecological roles within the ecosystem, sea turtles in human culture, and conservation.
ESA CEU: included for FREE
Prerequisite for summer Field Course in Mexico (Coming soon!)
Microplastic pollution has garnered much attention in recent years, yet much is still unknown regarding the extent and threat posed by this pollutant. We will review the recent and seminal literature focusing on the distribution of plastic pollution and the negative effects on the environment. Our goal is to build a strong foundation of knowledge about this emerging field and recognize the current gaps in understanding its effects on wildlife. Although this is not a laboratory class, methods and materials on how to sample, isolate, and quantify microplastic pollution in various samples will be reviewed and demonstrated for researchers interested in collecting measurements in the field.

Explore techniques and procedures required for spatially explicit data analysis in forest resources, wildlife, and natural resources applications. The course will cover methods in image interpretation, land cover mapping, forest monitoring (change detection), landscape metrics and integration of raster and vector data using QGIS.
Course fee: $600 professional / $500 student

Thursday, June 16, 2022 – 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET Change. It’s what’s on the table Hosted by – Women of Wildlife Community Team We hear a lot about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) these days. What do these terms mean to you and what changes are needed for the wildlife profession to become more inclusive? We’ll start with the type of change that will help our DEI efforts and profession grow, then provide some uplifting examples of successful allyship for underrepresented groups in wildlife. You’ll hear from 3 of the 42 authors of the upcoming book “Women of Wildlife Science: Building Equity, Diversity and Inclusion,” (https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/12272/women-wildlife-science). This book provides practical advice on how to be an ally and support women, LGBTQ+, People of Color, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities. We want to highlight a path forward to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion. The 3 authors are Diana Doan-Crider, Mamie Parker, and Katie O’Donnell.
But wait, there’s more! As part of this webinar, we would appreciate your assistance with implementing our DEI Vision and developing our action plan. We will provide short pre- and post-webinar surveys that will enable us to improve the plan. Registrants will receive an email with a link to the pre-webinar survey prior to the webinar, and an email with a link to the post-webinar survey directly after the webinar concludes. These optional surveys will be anonymous, and we encourage you to give us your thoughtful input. Results of the surveys will be shared with TWS Council, staff and members.
Location: Highlands Biological Station, Highlands, North Carolina
About: The Station offers several courses at the advanced undergraduate/graduate level dealing with the special biological features of the southern Appalachians, with areas of study that are appropriate for investigation at a mountain field station. Sign up for the Diversity and Identification of Southern Appalachian Leaf Litter Arthropods Course
One excellent tool for finding webinars and seminars, conferences and other events is the Ecology Seminars website/newsletter managed by Jonathan Clegg. It includes virtual events and in-person, from hour-long presentations to week-long conferences.
