Zoology
monitoring protocols - bird/animal presence/absence
Context:
Censimenti per tre anni consecutivi delle femmine e delle covate in periodo estivo mediante rilevatori e cani da ferma in aree campione rappresentative e costanti nel tempo. Necessario un campione di almeno 20 femmine complessive (con e senza covate). La dimensione media si misura come N° juv/covata alzata. L’indice riproduttivo si calcola come N° totale juv /N° totale femmine alzate.
By now, I understand that covate = clutches, juv = young (nestlings), however another term that is bugging me is "alzata" - does this refer to being "raised" (allevato) or recovered by the pointer dogs (cani da ferma)?
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks in advance!

females flushed
I think you're conflating the different meanings of "raise" in English - this confusion doesn't exist in Italian, where "alzare" means raise in the sense of lift, and "allevare" means raise as in breed. Here, they're counting the number of birds the census takers and their dogs flush out of the undergrowth.
Here's an English-Italian reference:
Flush
1 V+D (uccelli) snidare, fare **alzare in volo**
◊ they flushed the pheasants from the undergrowth snidarono i fagiani dal sottobosco
