The Northern Flicker serves as a model for studies on the               evolutionary process of speciation.  The ranges of two rather                   distinct subspecies overlap on the western Great Plains where                   they form an extensive hybrid zone.  The distinctness of the                    subspecies is maintained even though the two hybridize                          extensively.  Previous work strongly suggests that selection is a               major force in maintaining the characteristics of the two                       subspecies across the hybrid zone.  Current research is designed                to determine whether natural selection or sexual selection is                   most important.  Natural selection would be in the form of                      ecological variables associated with the hybrid zone whereas                    sexual selection would reflect the ability of the subspecies to                 establish breeding territories outside of their native ranges.                  Resolving these questions will advance our understanding of how                 speciation occurs and how so much diversity evolves in such a                   short time.
