Presentations BINGO-ITN workshop on 'New techniques for better biocontrol’ available online
On January 23, 2018, the third BINGO-ITN workshop on 'New techniques for better biocontrol: next-generation sequencing, genotyping and experimental evolution in insects and mites' was held at Koppert Biological Systems in Berkel en Rodenrijs, Netherlands. At this day, about 100 participants from 12 countries discussed the new techniques for better biological pest control.
Presentations on the workshop programme were:
1 BINGO-ITN: Breeding Invertebrates for Next Generation BioControl – Dr. Bart Pannebakker (Wageningen University, Netherlands)
2 How Can Genomics Inform Genetic Improvement of Natural Enemies? – Prof John Werren (University of Rochester, USA)
3 Genetics of Biocontrol a long ignored science -Prof. Richard Stouthamer (University of California, Riverside, USA)
4 Artificial selection for aerial dispersal in the biocontrol predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis - Dr Martijn Egas (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands)
5 How to use the latest sequencing technologies to analyze population structures and dynamics - Dr. Eveline Verhulst (Wageningen University, Netherlands)
6 Re-sequencing to study evolving traits: evolution of resistance in Drosophila spp. - Prof. Bregje Wertheim (Groningen University, Netherlands)
7 Experimental evolution of biocontrol agents: does it meet its promises? - Dr. Sara Magalhães (University of Lisbon, Portugal)
