Availability of pileated woodpecker cavities and use by other species
Article Abstract:
There is evidence to confirm W.D. McLaren's concept of a large cavity web based on pileated woodpecker cavities. New research undertaken in the Foothills Model Forest in the Rocky Mountain and Foothills Natural Regions of west-central Alberta, Canada, has assessed production, availability and use of pileated woodpecker cavities. It aimed to improve understanding of the ecological role of pileated woodpeckers in conserving cavity-using wildlife in western boreal forests. No direct competition between species for pileated woodpecker cavities was observed.

Habitat as a predictor of southern flying squirrel abundance in red-cockaded woodpecker cavity clusters
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted at the 111,600-ha Fort Stewart Military Reservation in southeastern Georgia, USA with an objective to determine whether the abundance of flying squirrels varies with habitat among red-cockaded woodpecker cavity clusters. Results showed that there was considerable variation in habitat among the clusters used in the study although red-cockaded woodpecker habitat at Fort Stewart is managed to maintain a mature.

Protecting red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees predisposed to fire-induced mortality
Article Abstract:
Data on a suite of variables that were useful in determining cavity tree predisposition to fire-induced mortality were collected and monitored for postburn survival after one year. It was found that mortality of protected trees (2.62 percent) was significantly lower than that of unprotected trees (6.18 percent) and protection methods did not differ in their effectiveness at preventing mortality.
