Thirteen species representing 10 genera of woodpeckers (Picidae) coexist in Malayan lowland dipterocarp forests, a greater number of picids than found together elsewhere in the world. Studies of these specialists at several central Malayan sites, and museum analysis of their external morphology, provided a basis for examining some ecomorphological parameters of their sympatry. There is a gradient in size from 9 to 430 g, with seven species weighing between 50 and 100 g. Structural differences… CONTINUE READING
