  1. 2/2 Just a year after an amazing study* by Li Yao et al., doi.org/10.1016/j.indcrop.2025) used 700+ complete plastomes of these three species confirming and enhancing 10+ year old research showing that plastomes are not sorted by species like in all #oaks and not few other Fagales. Common knowledge, unless you are an editor for BMC Genomics or SIT professor.

    *A study naturally struggling getting through #PeerReview being too complex for the Q1s and ending up in some minor journal.

  3. I'm quite happy to announce a new publication, which was done in collaboration with a visiting Italian PhD student (who collaborated in an experiment of one of our PhD students) and her original Italian team. It is always a great pleasure, when such a visit is crowned by the rapid publication of the data 🙂
    The subject is quite specialised, concerning a comparison of methods to estimate the resistance to CO2 movements inside the leaf. An important subject for all kind of biomass productions, because individuals / genotypes / provenances / species with less resistance are able to increase their photosynthesis.

  5. I've been discombobulated since C died. Much more than I was for A. A ride helped, but a week of drizzly rain kept me off the tracks. I didn't really want to ride, anyway—too full of self pity, sadness, & my own mortality. Wallowing didn't help.🙄

    I rode, & thought. 2.5hrs riding, maybe 30 mins thinking? It felt like a lot, but those unthinking spaces, when it's solely the ride, are key.

    Anyway, it *was* good.

  7. Why are mountain #forests in Mexico and Central America hotspots for oak #trees? phys.org/news/2026-05-mountain paper: dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.253704

    "Red and white #oaks independently migrated into the #mountains of Mexico about 25 million years ago. The two groups diversified along a parallel path, rapidly evolving into a remarkable array of species. Now, #Mexico and #CentralAmerica are home to at least 160 different oaks: 40% of global diversity... Each #oak species hosts a unique community of life"

  12. Ventura County: Goldspotted Oak Borer

    "Invasive Beetle Detected in Ventura County: Help Protect our Oak Trees

    The Golden Spotted Oak Borer (GSOB), an invasive beetle known to damage and kill oak trees, has been detected in Ventura County. While impacts remain limited, early awareness and community support can make a difference in protecting our local oak trees.

    This beetle burrows under the bark, cutting off nutrients and causing serious damage, even tree death. Residents can help by only using and burning firewood from local sources, watching for signs of oak tree decline, and reporting anything unusua"

  18. Snowdrops at Meavy yesterday. The oak (left), estimated to be 900 years old is older than the medieval church, #Dartmoor, #Devon. #oaks #photography

  19. Sowed the acorns. Every year I order international acorns (I mean oak species from other countries).
    They make me feel more happy in the winter because of the sprouting green during the dark ages. I sow many other plants too with them to confuse the midgets that feed on roots that always appear in #winter
    And a 12-hour per day daylight spot to give the oaks summertime vibes

  22. Found some banded bullet galls (Kokkocynips imbricariae) yesterday. I also found a dollar near the tree. It was a good day. Media, PA, USA. #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #wasps #cynipidae #insects #entomology #oaks #quercus
