  1. This path among beech trees creates an unexpected frame for art. Those exposed roots are a sculpture you can walk on — the roots of a fallen beech tree, cast in bronze and reintegrated into the path through the wood.
    "Speed Breakers" by Hemali Bhuta, in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

  4. A classic, my first paper on #beech #genetics getting a RG-#milestone: 1000 reads for "The #evolutionary history of #Fagus in western Eurasia: Genes, morphology and the #fossil record" RG added #reticulate #evolution, suppressed #speciation, could say that.

    Low impact? Enduring research still (obviously) worth a read over 20 yrs later 😎

    PS Still happy with it. But wouldn't just use a tree anymore for #phylogenetics

  5. "[A] reproductive spectacle known as masting [is] common to many tree species, but European beeches are unique in their ability to synchronize this behavior on a continental scale. From England to Sweden to Italy — across multiple seas, time zones and climates — somehow these trees “know” when to reproduce. But how?"

  6. Marcescent leaves on a young beech tree - they look like flowers in winter woods 😊

    Marcescence - I just learned this phenomenon today 😉

  7. Aus aktuellem Anlaß, got a paper on Fagus hayatae (#beech) #phylogeography published 2016 in Ecol. Evol. with potentially interesting data, which is nowhere to be found.

    Missing here but should be obligatory following each "Conclusion" section: a section on "Data availability". With a link to the phylogenetic matrix, ideally.

    #OldPosts D. Morrison and I and why We want to publish our phylogenetic #data – including networks, but where?—phylonetworks.blogspot.com/201

  8. I still think about this #tree... In the forests of #Lejre in #Denmark, this 200 Yr old #beech was so beautiful it made me cry (yes, I'm a sap). I hope I get back to it one day.
