摘要

In the Alps tourism, land-use practices and climate change may cause a loss of suitable habitat of rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta helvetica). Hence, there is a need for basic research on population densities and habitat requirements of this species as abasis for long-term monitoring studies. So far, in the Austrian Alps, no accurate data on densities and trends of rock ptarmigan populations are available. We carried out counts of calling cocks in the southeastern part of the Austrian Alps (Nockberge National Park, Carinthia, Austria) between 31 May and 1 July 2003 and evaluated the distribution of male rock ptarmigan territories. The spring density of 5.4 territorial cocks per square kilometre was similar to densities in the Swiss Alps but higher than spring population densities in the Italian Alps and the Pyrenees. To investigate summer habitat use, we established a grid mapping of habitat parameters and rock ptarmigan signs. In total, 38 squares with signs of rock ptarmigan presence were recorded(i.e. 32% of all recorded squares). The presence of rock ptarmigan was significantly correlated with cover of rock and rock ptarmigan preferred habitat patchiness. Our study provides a useful reference for future monitoring of this species in the alpinedistribution range considering the potential decrease and fragmentation of alpine habitats resulting from climate change and human impacts.
