Abstract
Within a study on the mountain hare (Lepus timidus) in Alpine habitat, in March-May 2005 ten live-traps were set in an area included in the Stelvio National Park, while captures with nets were conducted in May 2005 in a surrounding area (Vezzola val- ley). Trapping success with live-traps was three hares in 210 trap-nights (1.43 captures/100 trap-nights), while two speciemens were captured with nets. Trapping success of our live trapping trial was compared with other studies on alpine mountain hare. All had very low trapping success. We give some indications for improving trapping success of mountain hares occurring at low density population and discuss costs and benefits of the capture by nets.
