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.

Logging appears to have negative consequences by causing an ecological trap for the woodpecker, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Why?
Why are species of birds that nest in grasslands declining in north America? What could be done to slow or stop this decline?
For various reasons, some species prefer to live on the edge of a habitat patch while others fare better if they stay near the middle of a patch. In areas with a mosaic of grassland and woodland, warbler fledglings are more likely to survive when their parents nest in the core rather than the ecotone, because the ecotone is also habitat for brown-headed cowbirds. What is the name for the behavior of cowbirds that poses a risk to warblers?

Researchers have conducted experiments adding and removing food, and have studied how bill sizes have changed. Researchers have removed one finch species on islands where there are multiple seed-eating species, and have studied how bill sizes of the remaining species have changed. Researchers have compared bill sizes of finch species on islands where they are alone and islands where there is a second seed-eating finch. There is no scientific evidence at all. This is pure storytelling.arrow_forwardA thunderstorm passes through a New England beech-maple forest. On one end of the forest a single relatively small beech tree in the canopy is struck by lightening causing it to fall and create a relatively small gap where sunlight reaches the forest floor On the other end of the forest, a very large sugar maple tree is hit by lightening and falls, creating a much larger gap where sunlight reaches the forest floor. Which type of species would fill the small gap left by the fallen beech tree? ✓ [Select] mid successional species with seeds distributed by small mammals early succession species with lighter, durable sees that grow fast and well in the sun late successional species with large seeds that are shade tolerant late succession boreal forest treesarrow_forward
