[Syrphidae] Volume 9 Issue 1 of the Pollinator Information Network Newsletter

[Kurt Jordaens]

Dear all,

Please find attached Issue 1 of Volume 9 of the Pollinator Information Network Newsletter as part of the ongoing Diversity of Pollinating Diptera in Afrotropical Biodiversity Hotspots (DIPoDIP) project.

This issue is fully dedicated to the participants of our sixth training course on the taxonomy and systematics of pollinating Diptera, held from 13–24 October 2025 at the Grootbos Environmental Centre in Gansbaai, South Africa. For this course, we selected 12 early-career and emerging entomologists from sub-Saharan Africa to receive intensive, hands-on training in Diptera taxonomy. In this issue, you will meet these talented and promising researchers and learn more about their work and aspirations.

Enjoy reading!
Kurt
