“…As expected from theory, large mammals (elephant, wild cattle and tiger) are among the first wildlife to disappear following fragmentation (Lynam 2010;Pattanavibool & Dearden 2002;Pattanavibool et al 2004). Lammertink et al (2009) also found that densities of Great Slaty Woodpeckers (Mulleripicus pulverulentus [Temminck, 1826]) in Southeast Asua were reduced by 80-95% due to deforestation and loss of old-growth forest.…”

“…In our presentation of a global picture of the conservation status of woodpeckers, there are shortfalls that we acknowledge, most of them associated with the scale of the analyses, the source of the data and the lack of essential information. For example, habitat requirements for large woodpeckers species such as old trees with large stem diameters (for nesting, roosting and foraging; Aitken & Martin, ; Lammertink et al., ) or habitat connectivity (Roberge, Angelstam, & Villard, ) result in these species being more vulnerable than other woodpeckers species. Given that our analysis only identified urban and deforested areas and did not include other categories such as forests with selective logging, or forest plantations, we underestimated the habitat loss of species with special habitat requirements.…”

Aim As a result of their ecological traits, woodpeckers (Picidae, Aves) are highly sensitive to forest cover change. We explored the current land cover in areas of high species richness of woodpeckers to determinate regions where urgent conservation actions are needed. In addition, we identified woodpecker species that are sensitive to forest loss and that have high levels of human habitat modification and low levels of protection (through protected areas) in their distribution ranges. Location Global. Methods We joined available range maps for all extant 254 woodpecker species with information of their conservation status and tolerances to human habitat modifications and generated a richness map of woodpecker species worldwide. Then, we associated this information (the richness pattern and individual species’ maps) with land cover and protected areas (PAs) maps. Result We found that the foremost woodpecker species richness hotspot is in Southeast Asia and is highly modified. At the second species richness hotspot in the eastern Andes, we observed a front of deforestation at its southern extreme and a greater deforested area in its northern extreme but most of its area remains with forest coverage. At the species level, 17 species that are sensitive to forest modification experience extensive deforestation and have low extents of PAs in their ranges. Main conclusions The most diverse woodpecker hotspots are mostly occupied by human‐modified landscapes, and a large portion of the species there avoids anthropogenic environments. The level of representation of woodpecker species in PAs is low as a global general pattern, although slightly better in Asia. Our global analysis of threats to woodpecker from land use patterns reiterates the urgent conservation needs for Southeast Asian forests. Finally, based on our results, we recommend a re‐evaluation for inclusion in the Red List of five woodpecker species.

“…trees for nest cavity excavation (Lammertink et al 2020b). Although the dependence on mature forests in other specialist woodpeckers is often related to the availability of foraging resources (Tanner 1942, Czeszczewik 2009, Lammertink et al 2009, Tremblay et al 2010, Helmeted Woodpeckers forage mostly in younger, medium-sized trees and on bamboo substrates (Fernández et al 2020). The Helmeted Woodpecker co-exists throughout its range with the larger Lineated Woodpecker (Dryocopus lineatus) and still larger Robust Woodpecker (Campephilus robustus).…”

Home range mapping studies of birds inform about area requirements and responses to land management as reflected by home range sizes and by resource selection within home ranges. Tracking studies of woodpeckers (Picidae) so far have been concentrated in temperate regions. In the subtropical Atlantic Forest of northeast Argentina, we assessed interspecific differences in home range sizes in old-growth forests and selectively logged forests of Helmeted Woodpecker (Celeus galeatus, a globally threatened species), Lineated Woodpecker (Dryocopus lineatus), and Robust Woodpecker (Campephilus robustus). Helmeted Woodpecker had larger breeding home ranges in selectively logged forests, averaging 105 ± 39 ha for pairs, versus 60 ± 13 ha in old-growth forests. Lineated Woodpecker breeding home ranges of pairs averaged 56 ± 22 ha, and those of Robust Woodpecker 43 ± 22 ha, with no differences between forest types. Helmeted Woodpeckers had an unusual separation between the home ranges of males and females in breeding pairs, with a mean area overlap of only 8% ± 9% near the nest tree, resulting in large home ranges for pairs. Helmeted Woodpecker and Robust Woodpecker individuals that were followed into the post-breeding stage had marked expansions of their home range sizes relative to breeding home ranges. To place our findings with Atlantic Forest woodpeckers in perspective we reviewed whether woodpecker home range sizes increase with latitude and body mass globally. For 29 populations of 22 woodpecker species, a power regression model with these factors explained 24.1% of variation in breeding home range sizes, with 17.1% of variation explained by latitude alone. Woodpecker species with larger home ranges than predicted values were three species of North American woodpeckers of coniferous forests, as well as the Helmeted Woodpecker. Our results of smaller home ranges in old-growth forests for the Helmeted Woodpecker affirm an association of this species with such forests. We urge the conservation of the few remaining tracts of old-growth Atlantic Forest and more restoration of logged forests to mature conditions. Modèles de domaines vitaux du pic casqué (Celeus galeatus), du pic ouentou (Dryocopus lineatus) et du pic robuste (Campephilus robustus) à Misiones, en Argentine, dans une perspective globaleRÉSUMÉ. Les études de cartographie des domaines vitaux des oiseaux informent au sujet des exigences territoriales et des réponses à la gestion des terres telles qu'elles sont reflétées par la taille des domaines vitaux et par la sélection des ressources au sein des domaines vitaux. Les études de suivi portant sur les pics (Picidae) se sont jusqu'à présent concentrées sur les régions tempérées. Dans la forêt atlantique subtropicale du nord-est de l'Argentine, nous avons évalué les différences interspécifiques en termes de taille du domaine vital dans les forêts anciennes et les forêts exploitées de manière sélective du pic casqué (Celeus galeatus, une espèce menacée à l'échelle mondiale), du pic ouentou (Dryocopus lineatus) et d...
