Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus) Science Article 2 abstract I studied the breeding biology of the three-toed woodpecker Picoides tridactylus in order to determine factors that influence annual and seasonal variations.

Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris stands were positively selected, […]
