Living on the edge - modelling habitat suitability for species at the edge of their fundamental niche (2008, methodology): “…spatial and specific habitat requirements e.g., Klaus et al., 1989; Storch, 1993a,b, 1995), and owing to ts function as an umbrella species (e.g., Suter et al., 2002), he capercaillie is a popular model species for the analysis f species–habitat relationships in the field of conservation iology.”
Recommendations for Assessing the Effectiveness of Surrogate Species Approaches (2006, background): “…presence of surrogate species or taxa predicted for regional biodiversity (Rubino and Hess 2003), species richness of a particular taxa (Hughes et al. 2000; Kerr et al. 2000; Mikusinski et al. 2001; Sahlen and Ekestubbe 2001), or the presence of a particular suite of species (Suter et al. 2002).”
Grouse : status survey and conservation action plan 2006-2010 (2000, background): “…species richness and abundance of red-listed subalpine forest birds was considerably higher in plots with capercaillie than in those without (Suter et al. 2002), and capercaillie, mountain birds, and carabid beetles all responded positively to near-natural forest structure (Suter et al.…”
Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus - a good candidate for an umbrella species in taiga forests (2003, result): “Our results agree with those of Suter et al. (2002) being, however, even more pronounced and functioning on a larger scale.”
The white-backed woodpecker: umbrella species for forest conservation planning? (2008, background): “Suter et al. (2002) evaluated the capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) as an umbrella species for the conservation of avian communities in Alpine forests.”
Dead wood threshold values for the three-toed woodpecker presence in boreal and sub-alpine forest (2004, background): “Suter et al. (2002) demonstrated that the Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), co-occurring with the three-toed woodpecker, is an umbrella for red-listed mountain birds.”
