Nest-site selection by Levaillant’s Woodpecker Picus vaillantii in the Aurès Mountains of northeastern Algeria
We investigated ecological factors that influence the presence of nests of Levaillant’s Woodpecker Picus vaillantii in the Aurès Mountains of northeastern Algeria. Surveys carried out during the breeding season in 2018 and 2019, using point counts combined with extensive nest searching around each point at 72 random stations, allowed us to detect 44 nests against 28 unoccupied points. Using data on trees, deadwood, snags, canopy cover at the nest site, and elevation, we developed models reflecting landscape structure and forest composition. The results indicate that P. vaillantii prefers nesting in high-altitude forests and in dense canopies with high elevation. This reflects the importance of the forest composition, which is related to altitude, and the landscape structure, represented by the canopy cover, for the breeding of this species.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
