habitat evaluation of middle spotted woodpecker (dendrocopos medius) in golestan national park
نویسندگان
چکیده
the evaluation of ecological characteristics of wildlife species has fundamental role in species management, because taking a decision for proper method of management is only possible by characterizing of ecological requirements of a species. in this study, suitable habitat of middle spotted woodpecker was investigated in golestan national park. presence and absence of birds and environmental variables (forest cover types, topography, and structural characteristics of vegetation) were obtained within a 25-m radius of each of 106 sampling points distributed throughout the study area. data analysis was conducted using binary logistic regression. the results showed that some habitat variables including the number of snags, tree species, height of trees, d.b.h of trees, and basal area were the most significant positive predictors affecting this species presence in golestan national park. old and undisturbed forest habitats with characteristics such as high values of basal area, number of snags, d.b.h, and height of trees in golestan national park has the capability of supporting the 'umbrella' and sensitive species to the disturbance such as the middle spotted woodpecker.

The carotenoid-based red cap of the Middle Spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos medius reflects individual quality and territory size
Carotenoid-based plumage ornaments have the potential to signal individual condition and health in many species of birds. However, very little is known about the function of red plumage in woodpeckers. We assessed whether the red cap displayed by both male and female Middle Spotted Woodpeckers reflects individual quality, finding that the size of the cap is sex-dependent, whereas the brightness...

Difference on cone size preferences between two coniferous species by Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major)
The number of species that specialize in pre-dispersal seed predation is relatively small. Examples of specialized pre-dispersal seed predators adapted to feeding on closed cones include vertebrate species like Crossbills, Squirrels, Nutcrackers and Woodpeckers. Seed predation selects against certain phenotypic features of cones and favors another phenotypic features. In this study, we document...

Helicopter landing sites in proximity to the forest fire-risk zones are necessary for the delivery of supplies and fire emergency response teams. In this paper, we initially prepared forest fire risk map using Random Forest algorithm by overlaying the effective factors on fire occurring including vegetation types, physiographic, climatic and human factors. Then, three variants of natural candid...
