Capercaillie population in the National Park Gesäuse: Monitoring Concept

Since 2008 (with one year break) there is a monitoring programme running to analyse DNA data of the Capercaillie population at the Gscheidegger Kogel. Before, the aim of this samples was to study the stress level of the Capercaillie because of ski touring routes. Without significant results this analysis was stopped after two runs in 2010. However, since then excrement samples were collected and genetically analysed. Until now five different spots around and in the national park where monitored. This method should give insights in population development, habitat and lek changes and relationship between the individuals. Furthermore, the genetic analysis was compared with conventional lek census by hunters. Although the method offers many possibilities, in reality there are several variables which weaken the results. For example, samples were collected on different days on different locations, which relativises the information about the change of leks. Therefore, the park management is questioning the necessity to continue the monitoring in the same way. It is time to reconsider the goals of the Capercaillie monitoring and think about possible adaptations of methods to work more cost efficient. What information is relevant to fulfil the current management goals?
