Analyses of the genetic structure of Black grouse populations (Tetrao tetrix L.) in Carinthia

Within the project, we will analyse the genetic structure of Black grouse in Carinthia. Samples of individuals of different sub-populations indicate the genetic diversity of the metapopulation. Based on several species-specific micro-satellite loci, individuals will be determined in the lab. Further analyses allow for the detection of clusters, indicating potential isolation effects.
