Centre for Plant Research member, Diana Percy has launched a website about Psyllids (jumping plant lice). She writes, “This site is an ongoing project to present and summarize general information about psyllids, their biology, host plant associations and the economic and ecological impact that pysllids have on man-made and natural environments.”

Int'l Symposium on Asian Plant Diversity and Systematics
Category(-ies): Conferences , Systematics
From the conference website:
"Asia has an incredibly high diversity of plants. The flora of temperate Asia, e.g. China, Korea and Japan, comprises the largest number of species when compared with all other temperate regions of the world, and the tropical Asian flora is the most species-rich. The plant diversity of Asia is an ideal focus for evolutionary studies, biogeographical analysis, informatics, phylogenetics and systematics. This symposium aims to review current research on various aspects of Asian plant diversity, with emphasis on the use of modern approaches and techniques. The symposium will include six symposium sessions and one poster session."

Phyloinformatics
Category(-ies): Systematics
From the editor, Dennis Degreve: "Phyloinformatics is a new, non-profit, international, peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to publishing high quality papers on the use of informatics in taxonomy and phylogenetics. Taxonomists often need
to manage fairly large amounts of data for which elegant solutions are
needed, and the inference of phylogeny itself is impossible without the
use of computers and optimized algorithms.
