Article is eligible for DYK (long enough and recent GA). QPQ not needed. Earwig's is clear. Both hooks are interesting. I think ALT1 is more interesting but it's your choice. ALT0 matches the article and source (which says "It is also the most cold-tolerant, and slowest growing of the New Zealand Nothofagus"). You should probably reword this to avoid a copyright violation. ALT1 matches the article and source (which says "Kaka: In the North Island. kaka (Nestor meridionalis) deeply scar branches and trunks while seeking larvae of Aenetus Virescens.") ―Panamitsu (talk) 03:33, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! I agree that ALT1 is the better choice, and I will rephrase ecology section accordingly. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 04:49, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
