“…Under this scenario, cavity loss often results in cluster abandonment (Loeb et al 1992). Thus, we suggest that the observed trends in cluster abandonment following the initiation of Safe Harbor were due to greater provisioning of artificial cavities that promoted continued occupancy on Safe Harbor properties (Copeyon et al 1991); 87% of territories on Safe Harbor properties were provisioned with artificial cavities, compared with 68% of territories on control properties.…”

“…Nevertheless, the primary management activity conducted on Safe Harbor properties has been construction of artificial cavities. Cavities can be added to active clusters with few existing cavities (cavity-limited clusters) to reduce the probability of cluster abandonment, or constructed in unoccupied habitat (recruitment clusters) to promote population expansion (Copeyon et al 1991, Walters 1991. Restrictor plates have also been affixed to enlarged cavities to prevent cavity abandonment and to discourage larger heterospecific occupants (Carter et al 1989).…”

“…Cavity restrictors ) are designed to reduce territory abandonment by protecting cavities from enlargement. Construction of artificial cavities (Copeyon 1990;Allen 1991;Copeyon et al 1991) can be used both to maintain territory quality by providing replacement cavities in existing clusters, and to create new territories, called recruitment clusters, by providing cavities in unoccupied habitat. Translocation of juveniles from their natal groups to recruitment clusters is employed to increase the rate of new group formation (and thus population increase) in recruitment clusters (DeFazio et al 1987;Rudolph et al 1992;Allen et al 1993;Edwards and Costa 2004).…”

ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWe thank the Department of Defense, Natural Resources Division (Jackson Guard), Eglin Air Force Base, for funding this project. Personnel at Eglin were uniformly supportive of and helpful with our work. We thank Range Control for working with us on a daily basis to provide safe access to research sites. We are especially grateful to the members of Jackson Guard for their willingness and ability to coordinate management of the base with our research activities, and for their contributions to the research. The work described here was truly a joint venture between our university research team and Jackson Guard. Several members of Jackson Guard deserve special mention. Dennis Teague contributed to collection of field data. First Carl Petrick and then Bruce Hagedorn provided leadership and input to study design, and secured funding for the project each year. In the early years of the project Bruce managed much of the data and facilitated coordination between our research and other management activities on Eglin. Kathy Gault led our university research team in the early years of the project and continued to contribute to data collection and performance of management activities, as well as managing some of the data and coordinating our work with base natural resource management, after moving to Jackson Guard. Bruce and Kathy participated in annual reviews of population data and a variety of other activities, and generally contributed to the project on a daily basis.We are also indebted to o...

“…To counter the loss ) and scarcity of natural cavities and the conditions that support them, artificial cavities have been developed (Copeyon 1990, Copeyon et al 1991, Allen 1991, Taylor and Hooper 1991 to mimic, replace, and supplement natural cavities. Although details differ, the different cavity construction methods and approaches are similar enough to natural cavities that their effectiveness in promoting production is recognized.…”

ABSTRACT:To satisfy its mission of wartime readiness, the U.S. Army relies on extensive troop training at military installations. These installations must comply with the mandates of Congressional directives and other regulations, including the Endangered Species Act (16 USC 1531(16 USC -1544. Because the military is required to protect State and Federally listed threatened and endangered species on its lands, the Army and other military services must evaluate any activities that are potentially harmful to threatened and endangered species and their habitats. Toward that end, the Army has initiated studies to evaluate any potential impacts and effects of certain military-specific soldier training actions and activities on threatened and endangered species. Considerable study and management effort have been devoted to the redcockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), in part because of its relatively widespread occurrence on installations. This report provides an assessment of the ecological risks that fog oil obscurant smoke training may pose to individual redcockaded woodpeckers, red-cockaded woodpecker populations, and red-cockaded woodpecker habitat. The risks from military fog oil obscurants do not appear to be significant in field use.
