The Acadian Entomological Society is a registered scientific society whose objectives are to bring about a close association of entomologists and those interested in entomology in the four Atlantic Provinces and the neighbouring New England States, and to cooperate with and to support the Entomological Society of Canada.  Founded in 1915, the Society caters to professional entomologists, amateurs, and educators.  Membership is open to anyone with an interest in entomology.  The Society meets annually, typically in July, and publishes proceedings from these meetings.

Come to the edge of the earth and present your cutting-edge entomological research at the 2008 AES Annual meeting June 15th-17th at the Battery Hotel in St. John’s, NL. This year’s annual meeting will centre around the theme of “Entomology on the Edge” and include a coastal collecting trip during peak iceberg and whale-watching season. Details including a call for papers and a registration form are posted here.

The 2007 AGM was held June 10-12 at St. Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The meeting started with a collecting trip and reception on Sunday and the symposium focused on faunistics with the featured speaker, Chris Buddle of McGill University. The AES business meeting was held on June 12.  Details are provided here.

Members and non-members are invited to submit their manuscripts to the Journal of the Acadian Entomological Society, an electronic refereed scientific journal produced by the Society. Occasional papers, containing information of special interest or taxonomic value that do not fit the terms of reference for publication in the Journal may also be published intermittently.
