As a side event of that Congress, the symposium on “Silviculture and the Conservation of Genetic Resources for Sustainable Forest Management” was held on September 21. The symposium was sponsored by the Forest Genetic Resources Working Group (FGRWG) and the Silviculture Working Group of the UN/FAO’s North American Forest Commission as well as by the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO). The organization was taken on by FGRWG members as one of their tasks. Jean Beaulieu and Eric Teissier du Cros welcomed the participants on behalf of FGRWG and IUFRO, respectively. The North American Forest Commission is one of the six Forest Commissions established by the UN/FAO. The Silviculture and the Forest Genetic Resources Working Groups are two of the seven working groups set up by the Commission. Their mission is to promote sustainable forest management through improved silvicultural practices, to encourage and promote the conservation of all forest genetic resources, and to promote cooperation among the three North American countries. IUFRO also plays a role in the conservation of genetic resources through its network on breeding and genetic resources. The symposium was a means for both organizations to fulfill part of their mission. The Proceedings contain the texts of papers submitted to the organizing committee. The authors are entirely responsible for content. The Proceedings also contain a list of participants. The FGRWG members who took on the responsibility for organizing the symposium with the help of their colleagues were: Dr. Jean Beaulieu, Chairman, Natural Resources Canada - Canadian Forest Service, Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada. Dr. Ronald C. Schmidtling, USDA Forest Service, Saucier, Mississippi, USA. Dr. Gil Vera Castillo, INIFAP, Texcoco, Mexico City, Mexico. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We sincerely thank the Organizing Committee of the XII World Forestry Congress for having provided the conference room for the symposium. Thanks are also extended to the Canadian Forest Service for allocating funds without which it would have been very difficult to gather all the participants at the Delta Quebec Hotel. We are also grateful for the assistance provided by the staff of the Research Directorate and Policy and Liaison of the Canadian Forest Service - Laurentian Forestry Centre. In particular, we thank Claude Aerni, Marie Deslauriers, Sandra Gravel, Marie Pothier and Micheline Deschambault for their technical help with the organization of the meeting. We also express our appreciation to Isabelle Lamarre, Diane Paquet and Pamela Cheers for their editorial work. Without their strong commitment, the publication of the Proceedings would have been very difficult.

    Effective Population Size and Genetic Conservation Criteria for Bull Trout

    North American Journal of Fisheries Management 21:756±764, 2001 q Copyright by the American Fisheries Society 2001 Effective Population Size and Genetic Conservation Criteria for Bull Trout B. E. RIEMAN* U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, 316 East Myrtle, Boise, Idaho 83702, USA F. W. A LLENDORF Division of Biological Sciences, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812, USA Abstract.ÐEffective population size (Ne) is an important concept in the management of threatened species like bull trout Salvelinus con¯uentus. General guidelines suggest that effective population sizes of 50 or 500 are essential to minimize inbreeding effects or maintain adaptive genetic variation, respectively. Although Ne strongly depends on census population size, it also depends on demographic and life history characteristics that complicate any estimates. This is an especially dif®cult problem for species like bull trout, which have overlapping generations; biologists may monitor annual population number but lack more detailed information on demographic population structure or life history. We used a generalized, age-structured simulation model to relate Ne to adult numbers under a range of life histories and other conditions characteristic of bull trout populations. Effective population size varied strongly with the effects of the demographic and environmental variation included in our simulations. Our most realistic estimates of Ne were between about 0.5 and 1.0 times the mean number of adults spawning annually. We conclude that cautious long-term management goals for bull trout populations should include an average of at least 1,000 adults spawning each year. Where local populations are too small, managers should seek to conserve a collection of interconnected populations that is at least large enough in total to meet this minimum.

    Genome-Wide Characterization of Simple Sequence Repeats in Pyrus

    Xue et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:473 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-4822-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide characterization of simple sequence repeats in Pyrus bretschneideri and their application in an analysis of genetic diversity in pear Huabai Xue1,2†, Pujuan Zhang1†, Ting Shi1, Jian Yang2, Long Wang2, Suke Wang2, Yanli Su2, Huirong Zhang2, Yushan Qiao1* and Xiugen Li2* Abstract Background: Pear (Pyrus spp.) is an economically important temperate fruit tree worldwide. In the past decade, significant progress has been made in pear molecular genetics based on DNA research, but the number of molecular markers is still quite limited, which hardly satisfies the increasing needs of geneticists and breeders. Results: In this study, a total of 156,396 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were identified from a genome sequence of Pyrus bretschneideri ‘Dangshansuli’. A total of 101,694 pairs of SSR primers were designed from the SSR loci, and 80,415 of the SSR loci were successfully located on 17 linkage groups (LGs). A total of 534 primer pairs were synthesized and preliminarily screened in four pear cultivars, and of these, 332 primer pairs were selected as clear, stable, and polymorphic SSR markers. Eighteen polymorphic SSR markers were randomly selected from the 332 polymorphic SSR markers in order to perform a further analysis of the genetic diversity among 44 pear cultivars. The 14 European pears and their hybrid materials were clustered into one group (European pear group); 29 Asian pear cultivars were clustered into one group (Asian pear group); and the Zangli pear cultivar ‘Deqinli’ from Yunnan Province, China, was grouped in an independent group, which suggested that the cultivar ‘Deqinli’ is a distinct and valuable germplasm resource.

    Species Knowledge Review: Shrill Carder Bee Bombus Sylvarum in England and Wales

    Species Knowledge Review: Shrill carder bee Bombus sylvarum in England and Wales Editors: Sam Page, Richard Comont, Sinead Lynch, and Vicky Wilkins. Bombus sylvarum, Nashenden Down nature reserve, Rochester (Kent Wildlife Trust) (Photo credit: Dave Watson) Executive summary This report aims to pull together current knowledge of the Shrill carder bee Bombus sylvarum in the UK. It is a working document, with a view to this information being reviewed and added when needed (current version updated Oct 2019). Special thanks to the group of experts who have reviewed and commented on earlier versions of this report. Much of the current knowledge on Bombus sylvarum builds on extensive work carried out by the Bumblebee Working Group and Hymettus in the 1990s and early 2000s. Since then, there have been a few key studies such as genetic research by Ellis et al (2006), Stuart Connop’s PhD thesis (2007), and a series of CCW surveys and reports carried out across the Welsh populations between 2000 and 2013. Distribution and abundance Records indicate that the Shrill carder bee Bombus sylvarum was historically widespread across southern England and Welsh lowland and coastal regions, with more localised records in central and northern England. The second half of the 20th Century saw a major range retraction for the species, with a mixed picture post-2000. Metapopulations of B. sylvarum are now limited to five key areas across the UK: In England these are the Thames Estuary and Somerset; in South Wales these are the Gwent Levels, Kenfig–Port Talbot, and south Pembrokeshire. The Thames Estuary and Gwent Levels populations appear to be the largest and most abundant, whereas the Somerset population exists at a very low population density, the Kenfig population is small and restricted.

    Genetic Resources: the Key to Adaptation of Forests to Climate

    GENETIC RESOURCES THE KEY TO ADAPTATION OF FORESTS TO CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE-TO-POLICY EVENT BRUSSELS, 13 DECEMBER 2019 - RADISSON RED HOTEL, RUE D'IDALIE 35 The aim of this event is to present and discuss the relevance and implications of recent research findings and guidelines for policy and practice. The main focus is the role of forest biodiversity, in particular tree species and genetic diversity for the adaptation of forests to climate change. BACKGROUND Global environmental and land-use changes have considerable and long-lasting impact on forests in Europe, modifying the functioning of forest ecosystems and species interactions, thereby affecting the provision of ecosystem services. Trees are long-lived organisms and thus individual trees and tree populations need to withstand significant and rapid environmental changes over their life span and across generations. The capacity of European forests to adapt to such changes, and to continue to provide essential ecosystem services to the society, depends largely on their diversity at species and intraspecific level. Several ongoing transnational research and implementation initiatives examine the state and resilience of forests under unprecedented global changes. Their findings provide substantial information for existing EU regulatory frameworks and enable to derive new policy recommendations. AGENDA 8.45 - 9.30 - Registration and welcome coffee 9.30 - 10.30 - Presentations of recent findings from the four EU research projects on the conservation and sustainable use of forests and

    Saving Seeds: Optimally Planning Our Ex Situ Conservation Collections to Ensure Species' Evolutionary Potential1

    Gene Conservation of Tree Species—Banking on the Future Saving Seeds: Optimally Planning Our Ex Situ Conservation Collections to Ensure Species' 1 Evolutionary Potential Sean M. Hoban2,3 In the face of ongoing environmental change, conservation and natural resource agencies are initiating or expanding ex situ seed collections from natural plant populations. Seed collections have many uses, including in provenance trials, breeding programs, seed orchards, gene banks for long-term conservation (live plants or seeds), restoration, reforestation, and scientific study of plant germination or other plant ecology studies. Well-known examples of ex situ collections include the Millennium Seed Bank Partnership, Australian Seed Bank Partnership, United Kingdom National Tree Seed Program, United States National Plant Germplasm System, and South African Regional Seed Bank. Some collections focus on rare species, species with relevance to agriculture or forestry, or regional flora. Other collections are in response to immediate threats, such as damaging insects and pathogens (e.g., emerald ash borer). In this talk I will discuss how to sample seeds to most optimally conserve the evolutionary potential of a species to ensure its long-term survival. A useful seed collection captures as much phenotypic and genetic diversity from natural populations as possible. Choices for a collector include how many populations, maternal plants, and seeds per plant to collect. A collector wishes to achieve efficiency—to not waste limited time, resources, personnel, and storage space, but also to achieve effectiveness—to be as complete as possible in case important genetic variants are lost from natural populations. In a series of papers starting in 1975, Brown and Marshall (1975) proposed some solutions to this general sampling problem.
