List Of Piciformes By Population
This is a list of Piciformes species by global population. While numbers are estimates, they have been made by the experts in their fields. For more information on how these estimates were ascertained, see Wikipedia's articles on population biology and population ecology. This list is not comprehensive, as not all Piciformes have had their numbers quantified.

Piciformes
Nine families of largely arboreal birds make up the order Piciformes , the best-known of them being the Picidae, which includes the woodpeckers and close relatives. The Piciformes contain about 71 living genera with a little over 450 species, of which the Picidae (woodpeckers and relatives) make up about half. In general, the Piciformes are insectivorous, although the barbets and toucans mostly eat fruit and the honeyguides are unique among birds in being able to digest beeswax (although insects make up the bulk of their diet). Nearly all Piciformes have parrot-like zygodactyl feet—two toes forward and two back, an arrangement that has obvious advantages for birds that spend much of their time on tree trunks. An exception are a few species of three-toed woodpeckers. The jacamars aside, Piciformes do not have down feathers at any age, only true feathers. They range in size from the rufous piculet at 8 centimetres in length, and weighing 7 grams, to the toco toucan, at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sulu Pygmy Woodpecker
The Sulu pygmy woodpecker (''Yungipicus ramsayi''), also known as the Sulu woodpecker, is a species of bird in the family Picidae. Formerly lumped with the Philippine pygmy woodpecker (''Y. maculatus''), it seems to form a superspecies with this and the Sulawesi pygmy woodpecker (''Y. temminckii''). Some taxonomic authorities continue to place this species in the genus ''Dendrocopos'' or ''Picoides''. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forest, tropical mangrove forest, and arable land. It is threatened by habitat loss. Description EBird describes the bird as "A small woodpecker of lowland wooded areas on the Sulu Islands. Dark brown above with some white spots on the back, a white rump, throat, and underparts with faint streaking, and buffy sides of the chest. Note the alternating dark brown and white stripes on the head, with a dark forecrown. Hind crown is dark in females and bright red in males. Unmistakable. No other similar ...

Helmeted Woodpecker
The helmeted woodpecker (''Celeus galeatus'') is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It has been recorded from far northeastern Argentina, southeastern Brazil, and eastern Paraguay. Its habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy Coenraad Jacob Temminck described the helmeted woodpecker in 1822. Its specific epithet is from the Latin word ''galea'', meaning "helmet". It was reclassified as ''Hylatomus galeatus'' by some authorities. Upon sequencing the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, two studies published in 2015 found that it lay genetically with the latter genus and proposed the name ''Celeus galeatus''. The placement of the helmeted woodpecker in the genus ''Celeus'' was accepted by the International Ornithologists' Union. Its genetic position indicates that it has evolved to mimic the lineated woodpecker (''Dryocopus lineatus''), whose range it shares, by adopting simi ...

BirdLife International
BirdLife International is a global partnership of non-governmental organizations that strives to conserve birds and their habitats. BirdLife International's priorities include preventing extinction of bird species, identifying and safeguarding important sites for birds, maintaining and restoring key bird habitats, and empowering conservationists worldwide.

Arabian Woodpecker
The Arabian woodpecker (''Dendrocoptes dorae'') or Sarat woodpecker, is a bird species of the family Picidae, native to the Sarawat Mountains of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It is the only woodpecker that breeds on the Arabian Peninsula. This species was first described in 1935 by the American naturalist George Latimer Bates and the Scottish zoologist Norman Boyd Kinnear, the scientific name being proposed by their occasional co-worker, the British Arabist St John Philby, in honour of his wife Dora. Some taxonomic authorities continue to place the species in ''Dendrocopos'', while others place it genus ''Dendropicos''. Description The Arabian woodpecker grows to a length of about . The male has a brownish or pale grey head with a bright red patch on the crown and nape. The back, wings, and tail are olive-grey to brown streaked with white, and the wings are barred with white. The underparts are grey streaked with white and the belly has the central area suffused with red. The fem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Capito Hypoleucus
The white-mantled barbet (''Capito hypoleucus'') is a species of bird in the family Capitonidae. It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are tropical moist montane forests, pastureland, and plantations. It is threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy This species was first formally described in 1897 by English ornithologist Osbert Salvin, based on a sample collected by Antwerp Edgar Pratt in Antioquia Department. The species name is derived from the Latin ''capito'' - big-headed, and the Ancient Greek ''hupo'' - beneath, and ''leukos'' - white. Three subspecies are recognized: * ''C. h. hypoleucus'' - Bolivar to Antioquia (northwest Colombia) * ''C. h. carrikeri'' - Antioquia (northwest Colombia) * ''C. h. extinctus'' - Magdalena Valley (central Colombia) Description With the division of toucan barbet, the white-mantled barbet is perhaps the largest of the New World barbets, rivaled only by the scarlet-banded barbet. with an average length of , males weigh an average of ...

Near Threatened
A near-threatened species is a species which has been categorized as "Near Threatened" (NT) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as that may be vulnerable to endangerment in the near future, but it does not currently qualify for the threatened status. The IUCN notes the importance of re-evaluating near-threatened taxon at appropriate intervals. The rationale used for near-threatened taxa usually includes the criteria of vulnerable which are plausible or nearly met, such as reduction in numbers or range. Near-threatened species evaluated from 2001 onwards may also be ones which are dependent on conservation efforts to prevent their becoming threatened, whereas before this conservation-dependent species were given a separate category ("Conservation Dependent"). Additionally, the 402 conservation-dependent taxa may also be considered near-threatened.

Knysna Woodpecker
The Knysna woodpecker (''Campethera notata'') is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is endemic to South Africa, where its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss. It belongs to a species complex that includes the golden-tailed and Mombasa woodpeckers. Description This species is distinguished from the other South African woodpeckers by its thickly spotted under-surface which is covered with black spots from the chin to the vent. Males and females differ slightly. Males have an olive-green color above with indistinct, small transverse bars and a few diamond-shaped sub-terminal spots that are a paler olive-yellow. The female Knysna woodpecker is similar to the male, but the black head is spotted with white and only the occiput is scarlet.Layard, Edgar Leopold, and R. Bowdler Sharpe. The Birds of South Africa.
