DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4876
Abstract: Abstract The structure and composition of forest ecosystems are expected to shift with climate‐induced changes in precipitation, temperature, fire, carbon mitigation strategies, and biological disturbance. These factors are likely to have biodiversity implications. However, climate‐driven… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5671
Abstract: Abstract Woodpeckers can be difficult to detect, as they are often cryptic, secretive, occurring in low densities, and wary of humans. Several methods exist to detect woodpeckers (e.g., playback surveys, passive point counts), yet no… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71671
Abstract: ABSTRACT The Great Slaty Woodpecker (Mulleripicus pulverulentus) has experienced a rapid population decline due to the loss of primary forest habitats across its range. Despite being classified as globally Vulnerable, detailed information regarding its status… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2017.09.005
Abstract: Molecular phylogenetic studies of woodpeckers (Picidae) have generally focused on relationships within specific clades or have sampled sparsely across the family. We compared DNA sequences of six loci from 203 of the 217 recognized species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biosci/biae141
Abstract: In attempting to argue that the ivory-billed woodpecker ( Campephilus principalis ) is extinct, Michalak (2024 ) suggests that there has been a lack of scientific integrity but falls short of that standard by not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0328831
Abstract: Monitoring species’ occurrences is essential for understanding ecosystem dynamics, tracking biodiversity changes, and guiding conservation efforts. Traditional monitoring methods, such as visual surveys, are challenging, particularly for elusive and endangered species. This proof-of-concept study explores… read more here.

DOI: 10.3996/052017-jfwm-039
Abstract: Abstract In western North America, rodents in the family Sciuridae are considered woodpecker nest predators and management to reduce sciurid habitat has been suggested. However, there have been few actual observations of woodpecker nest predation.… read more here.
