| dc.description.abstract | Woodpeckers are considered ecosystem engineers because they excavate nest cavities that eventually provide habitat for other cavity nesting species. In aspen (Populustremuloides) woodlands of the southern Rocky Mountains, red-naped sapsuckers (Sphyrapicusnuchalis) are the predominant woodpecker, providing essential nest cavities for multiple bird species. Previous work indicated that sapsuckers avoid nesting in aspens far (>500m) from willows. However, previous work did not account for potentially confounding effects of other variables such as the prevalence of the heartwood rot fungus, Phellinustremulae. | en |
