Multiple lines of evidence indicate survival of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Louisiana
- Environmental SciencebioRxiv
- 2022
The history of decline of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is long, complex, and controversial. The last widely accepted sighting of this species in continental North America was 1944. Reports of…
Specimen‐Based Modeling, Stopping Rules, and the Extinction of the Ivory‐Billed Woodpecker
- Environmental ScienceConservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology
- 2012
There is virtually no chance the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is currently extant within its historical range in the southeastern United States, and conservation resources devoted to its rediscovery and recovery could be better allocated to other species.
Evolution of Avian Conservation Breeding With Insights for Addressing the Current Extinction Crisis

Humans have had profound impacts on the ecology of North America both before and since colonization by Europeans. Modern-day human impacts extend to nearly every type of habitat, but evidence for…
Evaluating the Small Population Paradigm for Rare Large-Bodied Woodpeckers, with Implications for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker Évaluation du paradigme des petites populations pour les pics de grande taille et implications pour le Pic à bec ivoire
- Environmental Science
- 2008
A stochastic, stage-based single-population model is applied to available demographic rates for Dryocopus and Campephilus woodpeckers to determine the change in predicted extinction rate, i.e., proportion of simulated populations that went extinct within 100 yr, to concomitant changes in six input parameters.
When is an “Extinct” Species Really Extinct? Gauging the Search Efforts for Hawaiian Forest Birds and the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker
- Environmental Science
- 2008
Rare species, particularly those in inaccessible habitat, can go years without being observed. If we are to allocate conservation resources appropriately to conserving such species, it is important…

Mid-Pleistocene divergence of Cuban and North American ivory-billed woodpeckers
- BiologyBiology Letters

Application of both internal and external rate calibrations indicates that the three lineages split more than one million years ago, in the Mid-Pleistocene, which can exclude the hypothesis that Native Americans introduced North American ivory-billed woodpeckers to Cuba.
