  • The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker: a Selectively Annotated Bibliography
    UCLA Electronic Green Journal Title The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6013d8ks Journal Electronic Green Journal, 1(8) Author Wishard, Lisa Publication Date 1998 DOI 10.5070/G31810297 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker: A Selectively Annotated Bibliography Lisa A. Wishard The Pennsylvania State University ..................................... I. Introduction The red-cockaded woodpecker was first identified by Louis Jean Pierre Viellot in 1807 as Picoides borealis or northern woodpecker. Viellot wrongly assumed that this southern species ranged into the northern United States and Canada. In the 1880's Alexander Wilson became the first to apply to the species the common name, red-cockaded woodpecker. This gregarious woodpecker once common in the longleaf pine forests of the southeastern United States has been on the endangered species list since October 1970 (under a law that proceeded the Endangered Species Act of 1973). The red-cockaded woodpecker is cardinal-sized, measuring approximately seven inches long with a fifteen-inch wingspan. The males of the species wear a black cap, with a red streak worn like a cockade on either side. This streak is the species rarely visible but distinguishing mark and namesake. Both the male and the female of the species have a distinctive black nape which encircles large white patches on the cheek along with black and white horizontal bars on the back. The young of the species bear the same general colors and patterns of the adults, but young males will have an oval shaped patch of crimson on their crown.

  • Understory Plants on Reforested Pastures at Finca Alexis, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
    Project report Understory plants on reforested pastures at Finca Alexis, Puntarenas, Costa Rica PP Tropenbotanik und Pflanzen-Tier-Interaktionen in Costa Rica by Angelika Till WS 19/20 Supervisor: Mag. Dr. Anton Weissenhofer Introduction Costa Rica, as one of the most biodiverse countries worldwide, accommodates about 9,361 plant species, including ferns and fern allies, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms (Hammel et al., 2004). There are several studies about plant biodiversity in the tropics, but since there is such an immense species richness, there is still a significant gap in the knowledge of several plant groups, e.g. understorey plants. Understory plants make up about half of the Costa Rican flora, consisting of herbs (27%), treelets (16%), and part of vines (16%) (Hammel et al., 2004). Nevertheless, most of the conducted studies are concerned with tree biodiversity (Gentry & Dodson, 1987a; Huber, 1996; Huber et al., 2008; Mayfield & Daily, 2005). This is why this survey pursues the study of understory plants in the Golfo Dulce region where the La Gamba Field Station is situated. A first survey on the herbaceous flora around La Gamba has been conducted by Holzer et al. (2016) during a field course of the University of Vienna in 2016. This study focuses on the understory flora of Finca AleXis. Finca AleXis is a former pasture with a farmhouse (Casa AleXis) of the Tropical station at the Fila Consteña mountain range (Fila Cal) that was converted into a simple field station. It is part of the COBIGA project (Corredor Biológico La Gamba) with the goal to form a rainforest corridor between the tropical mountain rainforest of Fila Cal and the lowland rainforest of the Golfo Dulce (https://www.regenwald.at/en/project-information/biological-corridor- cobiga-forest-and-climate-protection).
