		Beeches are distributed widely in North America and Eurasia and extend through the Malay Archipelago to eastern Australia and New Zealand.
		The copper beech, with late-appearing, copper-colored leaves, and the weeping beech, with hanging branches, are cultivated varieties of the European beech.
		Southern beeches are exploited for timber and indirectly as food: Fungi that grow on some are eaten, and the wood of others, partially rotted, is used as cattle feed.

		Known as sooty beech scale insects, these agents turn the resources of the beech trees into a substance crucial to their own survival and to that of other forest dwellers, from fungi to birds.
		From January to April, the tree trunks in a southern beech forest often shimmer with a thick coat of honeydew, and the droplets' heady, sweet smell fills the air.
		The birds will flock to beech forests during the winter, when fruit and nectar are scarce; tuis may spend more than 80 percent of their feeding time harvesting honeydew when it is plentiful.

		The simplest interpretation of the facts as presented by Young (1996) is that southern beech, a fagaceous tree, was always within the host range of P. messaniella.
		It was not known that southern beech was in the insect's host range until man brought moth and tree together (southern beech is native to Australia and New Zealand).
		Since the wisteria plant was growing adjacent to a beech tree infested with P. maestingella, the wisteria may have been exposed many times to ovipositing adults that had recently left the usual host.

		The strong similarity of form and the persistence of these trees in comparable habitats on other southern land masses supports other evidence that these trees have survived largely unchanged since continental separation.
		Other plant and animal species exclusively associated with Nothofagus in Australia also have close relatives associated with the comparable trees on the other southern land masses.
		Beech Orange fungus and the Peloridiidae bug are good examples.

		The South Island is the largest land mass, and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps, the highest peak of which is Aoraki/Mount Cook, at 3,754 metres (12,316 feet).
		The main two types of forest have been dominated by podocarps including the giant kauri and southern beech.
		The remaining vegetation types in New Zealand are grassland of grass and tussock, usually associated with the subalpine areas, and the low shrublands between grasslands and forests.

	NFN - Gondwana Forest Sanctuary
		In South America, the forests occur in south-central Chile and in all of Patagonia, straddling both the Chilean and Argentinian side of the Andes from the 37th Parallel south to Tierra del Fuego.
		Three species of Nothofagus stretch down the Eastern Seaboard, commencing with the Antarctic beech (N. moorei), found in southern Queensland and sub tropical New South Wales, to the Myrtle beech (N. cunninghamii) in Victoria and Tasmania, and Australia's only decidous tree, the Tasmanian Deciduous beech (N. gunnii).
		These sub-antarctic forests are currently threatened by the $200 million Rio Condor logging project initiated by the U.S. based Trillium Corp. Composed of 360,000 hectares of ancient lenga forest (nothofagus pumilio), a wide-ranging, well-adapted deciduous southern beech tree, this boreal forest region is highly fragile.

		The temperate rain forests of South America are located on the Pacific coast of southern Chile, on the west-facing slopes of the southern Chilean coast range and the Andes Mountains down to the southern tip of South America, and are part of the Neotropic ecozone.
		The forests are made up of coniferous podocarps and broadleaf evergreen trees; the podocarps are dominant at lower elevations, while southern beech becomes dominant on higher slopes and in the cooler southernmost rain forests.
		The Colchian rain forests are mixed, with deciduous alder, hornbeam, Oriental Beech (Fagus orientalis), and chestnut together with evergreen Nordmann Fir (Abies nordmanniana, the tallest tree in Europe at 78m), Caucasian Spruce (Picea orientalis) and Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris).

		The southern beech, Nothofagus, is restricted to the southern continents, both at present and in the fossil record.
		It is a prolific pollen producer, so it is very likely to leave evidence of its presence in the fossil record.
		This may not occur under normal conditions, but the high-energy events associated with a worldwide catastrophe would produce highly unusual conditions in which dispersal by transport of seeds on trees or parts of trees by marine currents might be expected.
