Red-cockaded Woodpecker Centers On
T he southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus fiontalis (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), and the red-cockaded woodpecker, Picoides borealis, are indigenous species that occur together in pine (Pinus sp.) forests of the southern United States. For different reasons, these organisms have been the focus of considerable research. Interest in the southern pine beetle centers on the role this insect plays as a pe...
متن کاملRed-cockaded Woodpecker Nutritional Status in Relation to Habitat: Evidence from Ptilochronology and Body Mass
Sexual divergence in foraging behavior exhibited by red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) should reduce intersexual competition for foraging sites. Males tend to forage at greater heights and on smaller stem diameters than females. It is well known that red-cockaded woodpeckers have an aversion to a well-developed stratum of midstory vegetation. Foraging areas with increased midstory veg...
متن کاملHabitat and Landscape Correlates of Southern Flying Squirrel Use of Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Clusters
Southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) can have significant negative impacts on redcockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) reproductive success and group size. Although direct control of southern flying squirrels may be necessary in small red-cockaded woodpecker populations (<30 groups), creation of high quality habitat through landscape management is the preferred method for managing lar...
متن کاملRed-cockaded Woodpecker Nest-cavity Selection: Relationships with Cavity Age and Resin Production
-We evaluated selection of nest sites by male Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) in Texas relative to the age of the cavity when only cavities excavated by the woodpeckers were available and when both naturally excavated cavities and artificial cavities were available. We also evaluated nest-cavity selection relative to the ability of naturally excavated cavity trees to produce resin,...
متن کاملFactors That Influence Translocation Success in the Red-cockaded Woodpecker
To restore a population that had declined to 4 individuals by late 1985, 54 Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (P&ides borealis) were translocated at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina between 1986 and 1995. Translocation success was evaluated by sex, age, and distance between the capture and release site. For moves involving females, the presence of a resident male and the status of the male (bre...
