The paper reports widespread hybridization between Syrian and Great-spotted woodpeckers across Europe, identifying hybrid forms and their distribution patterns.

A review of co-occurrence and hybridization as neglected factors in studies of Syrianwoodpecker Dendrocopos syriacus and great spotted woodpecker Dendrocopos major

This review evaluates the lack of studies on the sympatric Syrian and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, emphasizing the need to consider co-occurrence and hybridization in their ecology and biology.

To hybridise or not to hybridise? Systematic review and meta-analysis of woodpeckers

This study reviews and meta-analyzes hybridization in woodpeckers, finding higher rates in the Neotropics and lower in Afrotropic and Oriental regions, with genetic similarities explaining hybridization patterns.
