The ISCE Newsletter is published
triannually, in October, February, and June.It is financed through member
contributions. None of the material contained herein may be reprinted
without the proper written acknowledgment of the editor. Address all correspondence
and newsletter submissions to the editor (Stephen Foster,
stephen.foster@ndsu.nodak.edu).
Deadline for the next issue is May 31, 2003.
It
is the time of year when we all should carry out our societal duties and
fill in assorted forms. First up is the renewal of membership. Most of those
not endowed with life membership need to renew their annual membership.
Subscriptions for membership up to three years in advance can also be paid
at the one time. With various other matters to concern members at this time
of year, payment of the small ISCE membership fee may slip the minds of
some people. However, prompt payment of membership dues by the members is
critical for funding the various services and awards of the society and,
from a selfish point of view, obviates Steve Teale and myself sending out
numerous emails reminding the tardy. So, for those of you who are yet to
renew their membership, please download the form from the website and send
it, and method of payment details, to SteveTeale at:
Department of Biology,
State University of New York-ESF, Forestry Drive,
Syracuse, NY, USA, 13210-2726.
sateale@mailbox.syr.edu
The second form-filling exercise is registration for the annual meeting. This year the annual meeting will be held in conjunction with the Asia-Pacific Association of Chemical Ecologists in Gyeongju, the ancient capital of Korea. This will be only the second time that the annual meeting has been held in Asia, after having been held in Kyoto, Japan in 1992. It is an excellent opportunity for members to visit an exotic location, present their results to the appropriate forum, as well as meet and catch up with colleagues from Asia who, for various reasons, are unable to attend meetings in North America and Europe. Details of the meeting and where to download and send the various forms are given below or can be obtained directly at: http://www.alric.org/isce2003
Finally, there is the matter of the election of a new vice-president and of four councilors to the ISCE council. Election to these positions gives members the opportunity to contribute to the administration of the society, as well as a greater opportunity to influence ISCE policy and matters such as, recognition of colleagues for outstanding service to the field, and determining where future annual meetings will be held. It is important that a high proportion of members vote, so that the elected candidates represent the whole membership. Voting can be done electronically at http://www.chemecol.org/forms/ballot/ballot.htm or by filling out the form and posting or emailing it to me at: Stephen Foster, Department of Entomology, North Dakota State University, ND 58105, USA; Stephen.foster@ndsu.nodak.edu. Please ensure that your name is on the form so that the validity of your vote can be verified. Only paid up members can vote. Details of the candidates are given below. Note that this is the only canvassing that members are permitted to carry out. Television commercials and advertising hoardings are strictly not allowed.

Wittko Francke
Candidate for ISCE Vice-President: Mark E. Hay
Professor
Mark Hay received his Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution from the University
of California Irvine in 1980. His research was conducted via a pre-doctoral
fellowship through the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama,
and focused on how seaweed-herbivore interactions affected seaweed distributions
and community structure of coral reefs. He then received a Smithsonian
Institution Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Paleobiology at the National Museum
of Natural History to study seaweed-herbivore interactions on reefs throughout
the Caribbean. After a short visiting position at the University of the
Virgin Islands, he spent 17 years at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill’s Institute of Marine Sciences, where he became Professor
of Marine Sciences, Ecology, and Biology. In 1999, he moved to the Georgia
Institute of Technology to take the Teasley Chair of Environmental Biology
and help found Georgia Tech’s Center for Aquatic Chemical Ecology.
Much of his research focuses on marine secondary metabolites and the roles
they play in: (1) defenses against herbivores, (2) the evolution of feeding
preferences, feeding specialization, and tri-trophic interactions, (3)
antifouling, (4) defense of benthic invertebrates, invertebrate larvae,
and holoplankton, and (5) setting up complex and indirect interactions
that impact non-target species, affecting population regulation, community
organization, and maintenance of marine biodiversity. He tests the broader
applicability of his marine studies by integrating his findings with those
of terrestrial and freshwater investigators. Professor Hay has been active
in ISCE as a Councilor (1993-1996), organizer and editor for a special
aquatic issue of the Journal of Chemical Ecology (October 2002), annual
meeting participant, reviewer for the Journal, and presently serves on
the Editorial Board. He serves on 6 editorial boards, multiple boards
of scientific societies, numerous scientific panels and working groups
for agencies such as the U.S. National Science Foundation and National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, co-chairing NSF’s workshop
on future planning for Biological Oceanography, and on NSF’s Decadal
Planning Committee for Ocean Sciences. In 2000 he was recognized as an
Aldo Leopold Leadership Fellow and in 2002 was identified by ISI's Current
Contents as among the world's most cited authors in the Ecology/Environment
category.
Professor Hanna Mustaparta, Department of Biology, Neuroscience Unit, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.
Hanna
Mustaparta first began working on insects at the Max-Planck-Institute
für Verhaltensphysiologie at Seewiesen. She moved into the field
of chemical ecology during a research stay at the University of Gothenburg,
while working toward her doctorate at the University of Oslo, Norway.
After graduating, she received a Fulbright Fellowship to work at Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY, and the State University of New York, Syracuse,
where she studied olfactory mechanisms involved in intra- and interspecific
communication of bark beetles. She returned to Europe, as an associate
professor at the University of Odense, Denmark, before moving to her current
position at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology at Trondheim.
Her research interests are focused on the mechanisms underlying olfactory
coding and olfactory learning in insect-plant interactions and pheromone
communication in insects, principally using heliothine moths and forest
beetles as model organisms. She collaborates extensively with other laboratories
around the world including the, Department of Chemistry-Organic Chemistry,
Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm; Department of Biology, Neurobiology,
Freie Universität, Berlin; Division of Neurobiology, and the University
of Arizona, Tucson, where she is also an adjunct professor. Dr Mustaparta

Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters. She is a frequent participant
in meetings of ISCE and regularly referees and publishes papers in the
Journal of Chemical Ecology.
Professor Manfred Ayasse, Department of Experimental Ecology, University of Ulm, Germany
Professor
Manfred Ayasse received his Diploma degree in Biology in 1987 from the
University of Tübingen, Germany. In his PhD thesis, under Professor
Wolf Engels at the University of Tübingen, he examined the role of
chemical communication in primitively eusocial sweat bees. The research
focused on the identification of pheromones that are involved in nest
recognition, mate recognition and recognition of castes. He completed
the PhD program in 1991. His postdoctoral work with Prof. Hannes Paulus
at the Institute of Zoology, Department of Evolutionary Biology, University
of Vienna, centered on the reproductive biology of sexually deceptive
orchids of the genus Ophrys. Aside from his primary research on orchids,
he continued to investigate chemical communication in social insects with
the aim of studying the evolution of pheromonal recognition and dominance
signals in primitively eusocial bees. He obtained his Habilitation in
Zoology in 2000, before accepting the position of Professor in Chemical
Ecology at the University of Ulm in 2002 in the Department of Experimental
Ecology. His current research focuses on the Chemical Ecology and Behavioral
Ecology of hymenopteran insects and the reproductive biology of orchids.
He collaborates with scientists from diverse disciplines covering behavioral
and chemical ecological approaches in different groups of social insects
and in orchids. He has been a frequent participant at ISCE annual meetings.
Prof. Ayasse is a current member of the International Society of Chemical
Ecology, the International Union for the Study of Social Insects, the
Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft, and the German Entomological Society.
He is a frequent reviewer for various journals covering these research
areas.

process for entry into CNRS researcher based on her experience at the
interface between biology and chemistry. In 1996 she received the French
HDR diploma for her work on Composition, Variation and Dynamics of Chemical
Signatures in Insects. During a sabbatical year in 1996-97, she worked
as a visiting scientist in the laboratories of Gary Blomquist and Coby
Schal on the biochemistry of insect chemical signals. In her current research
on the chemical ecology of social insects, she is a leading proponent
of the concept of chemical signatures. While her primary area of interest
involves termite chemical ecology, she also participates in collaborative
studies involving other insects (e.g., ants, wasps, bees, flies), arachnids
(e.g., scorpions, spiders), and mammals (e.g., marmots and mice). She
is also active in the European termite phylogeny program. Dr. Bagnères
publishes in, and reviews manuscripts for, the Journal of Chemical Ecology,
and has participated regularly in ISCE meetings since 1987. She is also

Professor
Robert T. Mason received his Ph.D. in Zoology at the University of Texas
at Austin in 1987 working with David Crews on the chemical ecology of
garter snakes. He did his postdoctoral work at the National Institutes
of Health in the Laboratory of Biophysical Chemistry working with Hank
Fales. During this time, Bob had the opportunity to work with the inimitable
Murray Blum on insect pheromones as well as with John Daly’s group
working on poison dart frog alkaloids. In 1991 he moved to Oregon State
University where he is now a Professor in the Zoology department, J.C.
Braly Curator of Vertebrates and Chair of the Biology Program. Mason and
his students identified and chemically characterized the first reptilian
pheromone (red-sided garter snake) and have been actively involved in
developing a pheromonal control program for brown tree snakes on Guam
and Hawaii, a serious introduced pest species that has extirpated 9 species
of birds on Guam. He has published over 80 papers, holds 1 patent, has
given over 100 invited lectures and was named a National Science Foundation
Presidential Young Investigator in 1994. Mason has been an active member
of the ISCE having attended the first meeting of the ISCE in Austin, Texas
and most of the subsequent meetings. He has served as the chair of the
ISCE student travel awards committee and is currently a member of the
editorial board for the Journal of Chemical Ecology. Mason will be hosting
the Chemical Signals in Vertebrates Conference in Corvallis, Oregon this
July, 2003.
Dr. Hiromi Sasagawa, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Neuroscience, Japan
Dr.
Hiromi Sasagawa received her B. Sc. and M. Sc. in Agriculture at Tamagawa
University in Tokyo, Japan. Her PhD, under Prof. Yasumasa Kuwahara and
Prof. Sadahiro Tatsuki at the University of Tsukuba, successfully examined
the effects of juvenile hormone (JH) on the age polyethism of adult worker
honeybees. She continued working on honeybees as a research fellow of
the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. During her post-doctoral
studies (1991-1993) at the University of California-Davis, she worked
in the field of environmental toxicology with Prof. F. Matsumura in pursuit
of the initial target of dioxin in human cells and mammary tissues, as
well as conducting molecular biology studies on baculoviruses with Prof.
S. Maeda. Her collaborative work on hygienic grooming behavior in the
honeybee and in the Asian honeybee with Prof. C. Y. S. Peng began at the
end of her stay at UC Davis. She returned to Japan to work in the National
Institute of Sericultural & Entomological Sciences at Tsukuba, studying
the expression of social behavior and the mechanisms of recognition in
social insects, in particular the roles of semiochemicals in mediating
social behaviors in honey bees and the hygienic grooming behavior of Asian
honeybees against Varroa mite. Her research interests range from the identification
of semiochemicals involved in social communication, to endocrine-based
modulation of neural and behavioral responses to these semiochemicals,
with a common theme trying to explain the plasticity of honey bee social
behavior against environmental changes inside and outside the colony,
from genetics to behavior. She has been one of the core members of the
Asia-Pacific Association of Chemical Ecologists (APACE) since its inauguration
in 1997. She has regularly attended ISCE meeting since the Kyoto meeting
in 1992.
