4. SLOVENSKI ENTOMOLOŠKI SIMPOZIJ Z MEDNARODNO UDELEŽBO 9. in 10. maj 2014, Maribor
Na Fakulteti za naravoslovje in matematiko Univerze v Mariboru je letos potekal Četrti slovenski entomološki simpozij z mednarodno udeležbo, ki so ga organizirali zoologi Oddelka za biologijo in Inštituta za biologijo, ekologijo in varstvo narave Fakultete za naravoslovje in matematiko, skupaj s Slovenskim entomološkim društvom Štefana Michielija. Simpozija se je udeležilo več kot 50 entomologov iz Slovenije, Avstrije, Bosne in Hercegovine, Italije, Nizozemske, Srbije in Velike Britanije. Uradna jezika simpozija sta bila slovenski in angleški.
Simpozij je potekal dva dni. Po začetnih pozdravnih nagovorih dekanice gostiteljske fakultete, prof. dr. Nataše Vaupotič, glavnega organizatorja simpozija prof. dr. Dušana Devetaka in predsednika Slovenskega entomološkega društva Štefana Michelija, mag. Slavka Polaka, sta sledili predavanji vabljenih predavateljev. Dr. Gerd Leitinger z Medicinske univerze v Gradcu je predaval o uporabi vrstične elektronske mikroskopije pri ugotavljanju povezav med nevroni in receptorskimi celicami v očesu kobilic. V drugem vabljenem predavanju je dr. Predrag Jakšic z Univerze v Nišu predstavil zoogeografske značilnosti razporeditve dnevnih metuljev v višjih predelih Panonske nižine. Po vabljenih predavanjih so prišla na vrsto predavanja iz ekologije, fiziologije, morfologije in vedenja žuželk.
Naslednji dan se je začel z vabljenim predavanjem dr. Mirze Dautbašica z Univerze v Sarajevu. Tema predavanja so bile ksilofagne žuželke, ki naseljujejo vrsto bora Pinus heldreichii, ki je endemit dela Balkana. Sledila so predavanja s področja naravovarstva, aplikativne entomologije, sistematike in favnistike žuželk.
V dveh dneh se je zvrstilo 32 predavanj, štirje avtorji pa so predstavili tudi pet posterjev. V knjigi povzetkov, ki je dostopna na spletni strani simpozija (http://4ses. fnm.uni-mb.si/), so zbrani povzetki vseh prispevkov, ki so jih pripravili udeleženci.

Zaključimo lahko, da je bil simpozij uspešno izveden in je potekal v prijetnem vzdušju ter druženju. K temu so prispevali predvsem udeleženci s predstavitvami najnovejših rezultatov raziskav z različnih področij entomologije.
4th SLOVENIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SYMPOSIUM WITH INTERNATIONAL ATTENDANCE 9th and 10th May 2014, Maribor
The 4th Slovenian entomological symposium with international attendance was organized by the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics of the University of Maribor. The organizers were zoologists from the Department of Biology and the Institute for Biology, Ecology and Nature Conservation of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, with help of the Slovenian Entomological Society of Štefan Michieli. More than 50 entomologists from Slovenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, the Netherlands, Serbia and the United Kingdom attended the symposium. The official languages of the symposium were Slovenian and English.
The symposium was carried out in two days. After the introductory speeches of the Dean of the host institution, Prof. Dr. Nataša Vaupotič, the chief organizer, Prof. Dr. Dušan Devetak and the president of the Slovenian
Entomological Society of Štefan Micheli, Mag. Slavko Polak, invited lectures followed. Dr. Gerd Leitinger from the Medical University of Graz presented the use of serial block face scanning electron microscopy for discovering the synapses between photoreceptors and neurons in locust eye. Dr. Predrag Jakšic from the University of Niš presented zoogeographic distribution of butterflies in higher regions of the Panonian plain. Lectures about ecology, physiology, morphology and ethology of insects followed.
The second day begun with another invited lecture. Dr. Mirza Dautbašic from the University of Sarajevo presented the xylophagous insects on Pinus heldreichii, an endemic pine for part of the Balkan Peninsula. The following lectures covered topics about nature conservation, applied entomology, faunistics and systematics of insects.
Over the two days 32 presentations took place. Also, five posters were presented by four authors. All contributions are included in the book of abstract, which is available on the web page of the symposium (http://4ses. fnm.uni-mb.si/).
In conclusion, the symposium was successfully executed and was held in a pleasant atmosphere, especially on account of participants, who presented their latest results from different fields of entomology.
