Summary Introduction
To describe:
The term used to for woodpeckers.
Concept Introduction:
A community involves many species that depend on the special type of species, termed as a keystone species. Some ecologists use the strategy of removing each species artificially to identify the keystone species. For example, sea stars that are keystone species act as predators in tide pools.

Students have asked these similar questions
Why are species of birds that nest in grasslands declining in north America? What could be done to slow or stop this decline?
Logging appears to have negative consequences by causing an ecological trap for the woodpecker, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Why?
The model of metapopulations also postulates that many species occupy their patches only temporarily, that sooner or later they will be eliminated by competition or some other factor. If this is true, would such a patch make a suitable wildlife preserve for that species? Discuss what wildlife managers might have to do with such a preserve.
