Marine mammal's directivity in geoacoustic inversion scheme [PDF]
International audienceGervaise & al 2011 and Barazzutti & al 2013 described the general structure of a scheme to estimate the nature of superficial sediment in shallow waters using marine mammal's whistles and a single receiver.

Genetic structuring and within‐flock relatedness of eastern wild turkeys
We investigated the genetic structure and within‐flock relatedness of wild turkeys across sites in the southeastern United States. We found that the probability of within‐flock relatedness was lowest at a study site where spring harvest of males did not occur, and relatedness varied by sex and age relationships across study sites.

Use of LiDAR to examine habitat selection by incubating female wild turkeys in South Carolina
We evaluated how spatially explicit LiDAR‐derived estimates of forest structure and topographical features influenced selection by female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) during the incubation period. Female wild turkeys selected for incubation recess locations in pine (Pinus spp.) forests with an average basal area of ~14m2/ha and

Is Diet Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse Influenced by Biomass Availability or Toxins? [PDF]
Foraging herbivores must meet nutritional requirements by not only finding enough plant biomass to consume, but also finding plants with high protein content and low concentrations of potentially toxic plant secondary metabolites (PSMs).

Comparing nesting rate and space use between extant and translocated eastern wild turkeys
Female wild turkeys that are translocated to a site without conspecifics already present have increased range sizes and lower nesting rates when compared to extant or females translocated with conspecifics already present. This means that translocations should either translocate wild turkeys to areas where wild turkeys are already present or focus on ...

Is Habitat Use by Greater Sage-Grouse Proportional to Availability of Plant Morphotypes? [PDF]
Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) select sagebrush plants for food that are high in protein. However, sagebrush produce toxins called monoterpenes that can inhibit enzymatic reactions and interrupt cellular processes

Interannual breeding site fidelity in eastern wild turkey flocks
Individual female wild turkeys tend to use the same breeding season space as other female wild turkeys that lived within 7.5 km, both in the same year and in different years. This means that landscape management for wild turkeys should take into account that conservation actions taken on a landscape could have multi‐generational impacts for wild ...

Reinforcements of a Greater Sage-Grouse Population in Utah: Applications for Range-Wide and Local Conservation Translocation Efforts [PDF]
In a small, isolated greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) population in the Sheeprock Mountain Sage-Grouse Management Area (SGMA) located in Utah\u27s West Desert, peak male lek counts declined from 190 males in 2006 to 23 males in 2015.

Is wild turkey habitat selection spatially consistent? A three‐decade meta‐analysis in Mississippi
This study used a nearly three‐decade meta‐analysis of telemetry data from Mississippi to evaluate whether eastern wild turkey habitat selection is spatially consistent across different landscapes. It found that turkeys exhibit a functional response to total forest cover—selecting it less intensely where it is abundant—and that selection for hardwood ...
