SYMPOSIA
• Eco-evolutionary dynamics of sexual selection and sexual conflicts
Co-Chairs: Lucas Marie-Orleach (France) & Tim Janicke (France)
Description: Sexual selection and sexual conflicts are embedded in complex eco-evolutionary dynamics that are increasingly important to understand in the context of global environmental change. Sexual selection can influence demography and thus a population’s adaptive potential (evo-to-eco), while ecological conditions may alter the strength and outcomes of sexual selection (eco-to-evo). Although interest in this field is growing, research on the interplay between sexual selection, sexual conflicts, and ecology is still in its early stages. This symposium aims to showcase cutting-edge empirical and theoretical work that advances our understanding of these interactions, their evolutionary consequences, and ecological implications.
Keynote Speaker: Pau Carazo (Spain)
• Genomics and Evolutionary novelties
Chair: Jean-Michel Drezen (France) & Joana Meier (UK)
Description: The high quality of genome assemblies obtained using new sequencing technologies enable comparative genomics studies such as those investigating genome rearrangements or the fate of DNA sequences acquired from other organisms or viruses. Horizontal transfer events and chromosomal rearrangements have led to speciation and to acquisition of new functions used to digest food, protect against pathogen or increase the virulence of parasites. This symposium highlights the advances in the field and brings together researchers using different approaches from “omics” to functional analyses, in order to study evolutionary novelties.
Keynote Speaker:
• Unraveling phenotypic plasticity: Molecular Bases to Evolutionary Outcomes
Co-Chairs: Vincent Foray (France), Patricia Gibert (France) & Cameron Ghalambor (Norway)

Advances in molecular biology, genomics and epigenetics are providing unprecedented insights into the mechanisms underlying plastic responses, while ecological and evolutionary studies highlight their role in species interactions, population dynamics and long-term evolutionary trajectories. This symposium brings together research exploring the molecular bases of plasticity, its ecological consequences and evolutionary outcomes. We welcome contributions ranging from mechanistic and functional approaches, conceptual and theoretical advances, ecological and evolutionary perspectives, as well as interdisciplinary perspectives linking for instance plasticity to global change and biological invasions.
Keynote Speaker: Patricia Beldade (Portugal)
• Eco-evolutionary dynamics of host-microbiome interactions
Co-Chairs: Franck Dedeine (France) & Claire Valiente Moro (France)
Description: Microbiomes are recognized as key components of insect biology influencing development, immunity and behavior. In turn, hosts exert selective pressures that shape the diversity, composition, and evolutionary trajectories of microbial communities. This bidirectional interplay raises critical questions at the interface of ecology and evolution, with broad implications for host fitness, species interactions, and ecosystem functioning. The symposium will emphasize how ecological and evolutionary processes jointly structure host–microbiome associations. It will examine the mechanisms through which microbiota contribute to host adaptation, resilience, and phenotypic plasticity, as well as the strategies employed by hosts to regulate and maintain their microbial partners.
Keynote Speaker: Marjolein Bruijning (Netherlands)
• Genetic variation & selection in insect populations
Chair: Bart Pannebakker (The Netherlands) & Pablo Librado (Spain)
Description: Understanding how selection shapes insect genetic variation to foster adaptation is crucial for the management of wild and captive populations, especially considering insects may be the silent victims of the sixth mass extinction while increasingly find industrial applications, including in modern agri-food systems. An understanding of evolutionary processes, therefore, not only offers a window on the past; it can also help to tackle future challenges such as biodiversity loss and insect productivity. However, their small body sizes and generally large population sizes offer advantages and pose challenges not found in larger organisms, requiring to seek new methods and approaches. This symposium aims to showcase the latest developments and advances in the genetics of insect populations, striking a balance between applications in both wild and captive populations.
Keynote Speaker:
• Symbionts and Insects as Holobionts
Co-Chairs: Vincent Foray (France), Jean-Christophe Simon (France) & Ines Pons (Germany)
Description: Symbiotic interactions play a fundamental role in shaping insect biology, ecology and evolution. Considering insects as holobionts – entities formed by the host and its symbionts – opens new perspectives for understanding their adaptation, diversification and impact on ecosystems. This symposium highlights the latest advances in the study of insect–microbe associations, from mechanistic insights into symbiont functions to ecological and evolutionary implications. We welcome contributions addressing fundamental aspects of insect symbiosis based on experimental, comparative or conceptual approaches, as well as applied aspects in areas such as biological control, ecosystem services, and responses to global change.

Description: The symposium on insect vectors of plant pathogens will provide a high-level forum for presenting scientific advances in the field of insect vectors of plant pathogens. These organisms transmit viruses and bacteria that cause numerous plant diseases, some of which have a dramatic impact on agriculture and the ecosystems. The aim of the symposium is to discuss the insect-plant-pathogen interactions, the ecology, biology and behavior of insect vectors, the epidemiology of arthropod-borne plant diseases, vector control and the prevention of plant pathogen transmission. All insects (and mites) that transmit plant pathogens fall within the scope of the symposium.
Keynote Speaker: Marilyne Uzest (France)
• Medical Entomology
Co-Chairs: Claudio Lazzari (France) & David Roiz (France)
Description: This session will discuss current research on disease vectors, covering topics on vector biology, such as their physiology, behaviour and ecology. Several human diseases caused by pathogenic agents transmitted by insects are emerging, re-emerging and spreading to new areas due to biological invasions, climate change and human activity. In these novel scenarios, limiting the transmission of vector-borne diseases requires a thorough understanding of vector biology, as well as the development of innovative tools for vector control and surveillance. This symposium will facilitate discussion of the latest advances in vector biology and explore the implications of these findings for public health.
Keynote Speaker: João Pinto (Portugal)
• Veterinary Entomology
Co-Chairs: Fotini Koutroumpa (France) & Émilie Bouhsira (France)
Description: The Veterinary Entomology session will convene a diverse group of leading scientists to explore the impact of arthropods on the health and welfare of both domestic and wild animals. These organisms may act as parasites, vectors of infectious agents, or cause direct harm through bites, stings, or skin irritation. In the context of global change, arthropods are spreading into new geographic areas, intensifying their effects on animal—and occasionally human—health. Enhancing our understanding, surveillance, and control of these arthropods is essential to prevent disease outbreaks, protect animal welfare, and mitigate the economic impact on the livestock sector. We aim to showcase key advances in infestation diagnosis, and integrated pest management strategies.

SYMPOSIA
• Biomimetism – From biological to bio-inspired photonic materials
Co-Chairs: Vinodkumar Saranathan (France) & Bodo Wilts (Austria)
Description: Insects, with their unrivaled success and diversity, exhibit a stunning variety of photonic nanostructures that are patterned by biological growth and self-assembly. These cuticular nanostructures produce vivid, fade-proof structural colours that play important roles in their lives. Unsurprisingly, insect colours are a major source of bio-inspiration for current engineering problems from photonics to photovoltaics. This symposium aims to bring together multi-disciplinary perspectives to understand how insects pattern intricately at the nanoscale to impart color but also other desired material properties, in order to make progress from superficial bio-inspired to the more-rewarding biomimetic approaches towards sustainable synthesis of multi-functional materials.

• Museomics
Chair: Jeremy Gauthier (Switzerland)
Description: Museomics is a fast-growing field of evolutionary biology that leverages the richness of historical museum collections. These collections provide access to reliably catalogued and identified specimens gathered over time, including species that are now rare or inaccessible. Such specimens can greatly expand datasets used to study diversification processes across entire clades. Moreover, the temporal context of their collection allows researchers to reconstruct recent evolutionary trajectories, investigate extinct or declining species, and inform conservation strategies. Thanks to advances in cutting-edge genomic tools, museomics transforms museum collections into powerful and dynamic resources for understanding evolutionary processes.
Keynote Speaker: David Díez-del-Molino (Sweden)
• Insect Systematics in the Biodiversity Crisis: Bridging Tradition and Innovation
Co-Chairs: Carlos Lopez-Vaamonde (France) & Tamara Spasojevic (Austria)
Description: We are facing a global biodiversity crisis, marked by accelerating extinction rates driven by widespread habitat destruction. At the same time, millions of insect species remain undiscovered, undescribed, and unclassified, while taxonomic expertise is in alarming decline. Rapid advances in taxonomic methods, systematics, and phylogenetics are transforming our ability to document and understand insect diversity. By bringing together traditional approaches and cutting-edge tools this symposium will showcase how modern taxonomy can rise to meet today’s biodiversity challenges and our understanding of insect diversity through time.

We also welcome additional contributions relevant to this thematic session that do not fall under any of the designated symposia.
SYMPOSIA
• Division of labour, Behavioural specialisation & collective decision making
Co-Chairs: Romain Libbrecht (France) & Enikö Csata (France)
Description: The functioning of insect societies relies on the division of labour among specialised individuals. Queens monopolise reproduction, while workers perform all non-reproductive tasks. Workers themselves self-organise into task groups based on internal thresholds and external cues. Social insect colonies excel at making appropriate decisions under various contexts, and this symposium will cover the processes of task allocation, behavioural specialization, and collective decision-making that allow them to do so. We welcome any contribution on the factors and mechanisms that regulate colony organisation, ranging from food perception to foraging decisions, caste determination to colony defence, and chemical communication to swarm intelligence.
Keynote Speaker: Tiphaine Bailly (USA)
• Parental care
Co-Chairs: Joël Meunier (France), Maximilian Körner (Germany) & Jos Kramer (Germany)
Description: Insects display a remarkable diversity of parental strategies that help their offspring survive and thrive. Yet, despite their prevalence across taxa, insect parental care has long been overshadowed by iconic models of vertebrate parenting and the dominant focus on insect eusociality. This symposium aims to bring insect parental care into the spotlight. We will explore its striking diversity across species and showcase cutting-edge research on its ecology, evolutionary history, its chemical, hormonal, and molecular underpinnings, as well as its role in adaptation to anthropogenic changes. We welcome contributions from all disciplines investigating any aspect of insect parental care.
Keynote Speaker: Sandra Steiger (Germany)
• Apidology
Chair: Eric Darrouzet (France), Yves Le Comte (France) & Mar Leza Salord (Spain)
Description: Bees are suffering a lot of factors which can impact their health and productions. All over the world, colonies are confronted to climatic changes, landscape changes, deseases (bacteria, viruses…), parasites (Varroa destrcutor…) and predators (Vespa species…). Beekeeping activities must face these challenges to continue to exist in the coming years. This symposium aims to bring informations on bees biology, with a focus on eusocial species (Apis sp., Bombus sp…), on factors which impact these insect societies, and how we could solve problems that beekeepers meet. We welcome contributions from all disciplines investigating any aspect of bee biology, health and productions.
