Nest loss and chick mortality in capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) and hazel grouse (Banasa bonasia) in West Carpathians
From 1983–2001, nest and chick losses in capercaillie and hazel grouse were studied in the mountains of Central Slovakia (Veľká Fatra Mts, Malá Fatra Mts, Kremnické vrchy Mts, Starohorské vrchy Mts, and Nízke Tatry Mts, 18°50’–19°10’E; 48°47’–49°19’N). Out of 75 capercaillie clutches 49 (65%) were d...
