A model for evaluating the 'habitat potential' of a landscape for capercaillie Tetrao urogallus: a tool for conservation planning
Most habitat models developed for defining priority conservation sites target areas currently exhibiting suitable habitat conditions. For species whose habitats have been altered by land use practices, these models may fail to identify sites with the potential of producing suitable habitats, if management practices were modified. Using capercaillie Tetrao urogallus as an example, we propose a m...
متن کاملGenetic evidence of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus dispersal sources and sinks in the Alps
© WILDLIFE BIOLOGY · 9:4 (2003) In landscapes altered by human activities, many species are restricted to small patches of habitat. Species that were once common have decreased both in distribution and density, and many have become extinct (Ceballos & Ehrlich 2002), mainly due to habitat deterioration, loss and fragmentation (Hilton-Taylor 2000). Previously contiguous populations have been turn...
متن کاملSimple and Effective Methods of Freezing Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus L.) Semen
A continuous decline in the number and range of capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus L.) in many European countries can be observed, mostly due to habitat destruction by human activity, unecological forestry management, and increased density of natural predators. Ex situ in vitro gene banks provide a unique opportunity to preserve the genetic material for future generations. Simple and effective cryo...
متن کاملMinimum viable population size of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus: results from a stochastic model
© WILDLIFE BIOLOGY · 6:4 (2000) Even if the mean rate of population growth is positive, populations are in danger of becoming extinct if they are too small to buffer environmental and demographic fluctuations. But how small is 'too small'? Answering this question is important to guide management decisions in fragmented landscapes. Therefore, a major task of conservation biology is to determine ...
متن کاملCapercaillie Tetrao urogallus - a good candidate for an umbrella species in taiga forests
© WILDLIFE BIOLOGY · 9:4 (2003) Biodiversity concerns are now seen as crucial factors in Finnish forestry, also outside nature reserves, i.e. in commercial forests. Foresters and other people earning their living from forestry are often rural people, and hunting is their axiomatic activity or has been a hobby since their youth. This is perhaps why forest professionals in Finland have always bee...
