Talk:Dryocopus

Dryocopus split by some workers
Just a note that molecular evidence seems to be suggesting that Dryocopus needs splitting, with New World species becoming Hylatomus (already used by some workers). See e.g. https://www.zobodat.at/pdf/DENISIA_0036_0007-0035.pdf and http://jboyd.net/Taxo/List11.html. Since I am not up with the latest "community acceptance" of this and related splits I will leave it to others to investigate further and amend this page if necessary...
