Naturschutzforschung am Auerhuhn in der Schweiz: eine Übersicht

The Western Capercaille Tetrao urogallus is a large forest grouse with narrow habitat preferences and large home ranges. As Capercaille populations are declining in most of their central European range and the species has been shown to be an umbrella for high species richness, a profound knowledge of the species' ecology is essential for the conservation of the charismatic bird.
