    Vom Höhlenbau der Spechte profitieren weitere Tierarten, die solche Quartiere gerne für sich nutzen. Dazu gehört die in der Eifel als gefährdet eingestufte Hohltaube (Columba oenas) ebenso wie verschiedene waldbewohnende Fledermausarten, die allesamt in ihrem Bestand z. T. stark gefährdet und deshalb gesetzlich geschützt sind.

    As a reclusive society of intelligent forest-dwelling races, The Sylvans have traditionally kept to themselves, and considered anything that transpires outside of their domain to not be of their concern.

    His lyrics for Led Zeppelin were oddly eco-friendly—odes to ice, snow, trees, and England’s sylvan beauty (several songs were inspired by “The Lord of the Rings”)—and, in retrospect, his singing, which often sounded distinctly un-Western, seemed to anticipate the globalization of pop.

    The park is also part jungle, what we always called the "wilderness". This was five acres of sylvan mystery and romance, a bastion of trees rising up along the northern boundary and defending the park's nether reaches from the toffee-nosed terrors of St John's Wood.

    The true katydids make up the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Those in the genus Pterophylla, are the true katydids of eastern North America. The sylvan katydids of Panama are also pseudophyllinids (see video). The 50-plus species are generally large and mimic a variety of botanical forms, including bark and leaves—both living and dead. ...

    Jetzt ist ein Eintrag für "sylvan" vorhanden: Dictionary: sylvan , mit "waldig" als einziger Übersetzung. Der scheint neu zu sein, denn ich hatte den englischen Begriff vor ein paar Tagen nicht in LEO gefunden.

    Aber "waldig" nützt in den obigen Beispielen nichts. Auch wenn das Wort sehr selten ist, müßte sein Spektrum an Übersetzungsmöglichkeiten möglichst komplett abgebildet werden.
