Taylor, T.B. 2003. Arthropod assemblages on longleaf pines: A possible link between the red-cockaded woodpecker and groundcover vegetation. MS Thesis. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia. 99pp. Arthropod communities on the boles of longleaf pine originate on the forest floor. A research study was done to determine if there is evidence to support a link between red-cockaded woodpecker breeding success and groundcover composition of the forest floor. Results confirmed that arthropod biomass was positively correlated to the percent coverage of herbaceous and graminoid vegetation and negatively correlated to the percent coverage of woody vegetation.
