The 13th International Symposium on “Ecology of Aphidophaga” will be held in Freising, Germany, from Monday 29th August to Friday 2nd September, 2016. The purpose of Aphidophaga conferences is to provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of research on the biology, ecology and behaviour of organisms contributing to mortality of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Special session are held on the Chemical Ecology of Aphid Natural Enemies, Aphidophaga Genomics, Invasive Aphidophaga, and on the Biological control of sugarcane aphid, an emergent pest of sorghum in the USA. A number keynote speakers will present their work related to the topics of the conference. Please visit the website www.aphidophaga.de for more information.
