Oak-a-holics rejoice! The proceedings of the 7th Oak Symposium in Visalia have just been published. The symposium was held in November 2014 and featured talks by researchers and managers that approach oaks from a variety of angles and methodologies. Among others, Walt Koenig and I also contributed papers. Walt's paper was called "Acorns and Acorn Woodpeckers: Ups and Downs in a Long-Term Relationship" and, while I talked about using ecosystem services by Corvids as restoration method, I submitted a paper on the role of acorn size in determining early growth parameters in island scrub oaks. The proceedings, published as a General Technical Report, contain more than 20 papers on various aspects of oak biology, sociology, and economics. An interesting read for anybody who likes oaks and their role in ecosystems and society.
