Which endemic species is closely tied to Japan’s specific forest structures, often found in dense lowland forests?
Answer
Japanese Green Woodpecker (Picus noriuchii)
The Japanese Green Woodpecker is presented as another resident species whose range is entirely confined to the Japanese territory. Woodpeckers as a group are known for their specialization related to habitat, and this specific species is closely associated with the unique forest structures present within Japan. The text implies that observation of this bird often requires seeking out dense lowland forest environments, distinguishing its habitat requirements from those of ground-dwelling rails, coastal breeders, or birds inhabiting open fields.
