One day sharing weevil research
17 October, 2025 - 12:00 UTC
No. 9 - October 2026
The year 2026 has felt hectic. Many things going on at the same time and not much time for weevils or community, really. This time we have a new entry for our travel log, “Gorgojito”, by colleagues who traveled through Texas in search of glorious weevils, and a contribution to “Borers” about larval host plants in Neotropical Hylobiina (Molytinae). In addition, we have a new batch of Featured Researchers.
Please consider contributing to our next number. It is great when enthusiastic people submit contributions - no matter when. Do you have an idea for a new section or want to write about anything weevil-related? Let us know!
Our email list this time has 243 people, and our “Scientific Literature” is now shared with 147 people total!
We have sections for you to share nearly anything weevil-related, from Methods for the field or the lab, a collection of "Important Links" for multiple kinds of online resources, a spce to share your specialized beating sheet for collecting them in “Beat the Challenge”, or a place to share posters that you presented at any time in “Off the Wall”.
Remember, we are building community. We can’t do this alone. Share what you can. It is always welcome and for sure interesting.
Yours in weevils,
Jennifer and Lourdes
