We described an extension of the known
distribution range of the Cantabrian Capercaillie Tetrao
urogallus cantabricus into an atypical area and habitat for
the species. Nine Capercaillie leks and 14 cocks were
registered in Mediterranean Quercus pyrenaica forests in
an area of 1,500 km2, of which 4,500 forest hectares were
surveyed. At present, this population represents both the
southern-most distribution for Capercaillie and the only
one inhabiting Mediterranean Q. pyrenaica forests, what
suggests a wider adaptation of this (sub)species than previously
thought. This population and its habitat need to be
better studied, as well as to be considered in conservation
planning for Cantabrian Capercaillie
