Yes! Some of the Coihue (N. dombeyi) trees were covered in tiny, white leaf spots. Would love to learn what this is, and what effect it has on broadleaf evergreen trees that keep their leaves through the winter...

I got to visit Argentina for the first time, and saw my first Nothofagus forests! This forest in Nahuel Huapi National Park is dominated by the broadleaf-evergreen Coihue trees (Nothofagus dombeyi), which have much smaller leaves than I expected.
View of forest trees up a ravine. Small young trees occur in an opening in the front, while tall older trees grow in layers above. Bamboo species occur in a low shrub layer. The sky is hazy from smoke from a forest fire 25 miles away. Close up of a hand holding a tree branch with small, shiny green leaves. The evergreen leaves of this Nothofagus dombeyi tree are about 1.5-2 cm long and half as wide, with toothed edges.

Typed "jane foster age related growth decline" into Google search to find journal article I wrote about tree growth, and got this handy AI answer instead... (actual paper link.springer.com/article/10.1...). Thanks Google 🙄!
Photo of text generated by Google AI that states: "Jane Foster age-related growth decline" refers to the natural decrease in growth rate or physical abilities that Jane Foster experiences as she gets older, likely within the context of a fictional narrative where her age is a factor impacting her performance or capabilities."

Last week got to see pine processionary moth caterpillars (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) for the first time! They were walking head to tail in procession near Cassis, France, and nesting in Aleppo pine trees near Fontvielle. Unexpected find while visiting friends.
A line of caterpillars follow each-other head to tail as they move across a gravel. A webbed nest of pine processionary moth caterpillars within the upper branches of a small Alleppo pine tree on a sunny day.

Do you research Oaks? International Oak Symposium is coming to Knoxville, Tennessee, USA next October 7-10, 2024! Abstracts due Jan. 19... naturalresources.tennessee.edu/oak-symposium/
Twig of an oak tree with the tree stem in the background. The twig has many long flowers dangling down and small leaves unfurling in the late afternoon sun.
