Global variation in woodpecker species richness shaped by tree availability

2017-08-01

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Species richness patterns are generally thought to be determined by abiotic variables at broad spatial scales, with biotic factors being only important at fine spatial scales. However, many organism groups depend intimately on other organisms, raising questions about this generalization. As an example, woodpeckers (Picidae) are closely associated with trees and woody habitats because of multiple morphological...
