Allopatric speciation

Allopatric speciation – also referred to as geographic speciation, vicariant speciation, or its earlier name the dumbbell model – is a mode of speciation that occurs when biological populations become geographically isolated from each other to an extent that prevents or interferes with gene flow.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Allopatric speciation

American Ornithological Society

The American Ornithological Society (AOS) is an ornithological organization based in the United States.

Ant

Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Ant

Click beetle

Elateridae or click beetles (or "typical click beetles" to distinguish them from the related families Cerophytidae and Eucnemidae, which are also capable of clicking) are a family of beetles.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Click beetle

Dactyly

In biology, dactyly is the arrangement of digits (fingers and toes) on the hands, feet, or sometimes wings of a tetrapod animal.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Dactyly

Endemic Bird Area

An Endemic Bird Area (EBA) is an area of land identified by BirdLife International as being important for habitat-based bird conservation because it contains the habitats of restricted-range bird species (see below for definition), which are thereby endemic to them.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Endemic Bird Area

International Union for Conservation of Nature

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organization working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and International Union for Conservation of Nature

IUCN Red List

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is an inventory of the global conservation status and extinction risk of biological species.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and IUCN Red List

Ladder-backed woodpecker

The ladder-backed woodpecker (Dryobates scalaris) is a North American woodpecker. Nuttall's woodpecker and ladder-backed woodpecker are Dryobates.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Ladder-backed woodpecker

Larva

A larva (larvae) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Larva

Monogamy in animals

Monogamous pairing in animals refers to the natural history of mating systems in which species pair bond to raise offspring.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Monogamy in animals

Oak

An oak is a hardwood tree or shrub in the genus Quercus of the beech family.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Oak

Pleistocene

The Pleistocene (often referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Pleistocene

Red-breasted sapsucker

The red-breasted sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber) is a medium-sized woodpecker of the forests of the west coast of North America.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Red-breasted sapsucker

Sap

Sap is a fluid transported in xylem cells (vessel elements or tracheids) or phloem sieve tube elements of a plant.

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Sap

Thomas Nuttall

Thomas Nuttall (5 January 1786 – 10 September 1859) was an English botanist and zoologist who lived and worked in America from 1808 until 1841.

William Gambel

William Gambel (June 1823 – December 13, 1849) was an American naturalist, ornithologist, and botanist from Philadelphia.

Woodboring beetle

The term woodboring beetle encompasses many species and families of beetles whose larval or adult forms eat and destroy wood (i.e., are xylophagous).

See Nuttall's woodpecker and Woodboring beetle

Woodpecker

Woodpeckers are part of the bird family Picidae, which also includes the piculets, wrynecks and sapsuckers.
