Vegetation structure linked to nest site selection and nest survival of northern bobwhite
We attempt to accurately quantify vegetative characteristics that promote nest success of Northern Bobwhites in the Rolling Plains of Texas. A higher proportion of grass and greater visual obstruction were associated with greater nest survival. Similarly, greater visual obstruction and less litter cover in the area surrounding a nest also corresponded ...

The role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across wild turkey occupied range
This study used DNA from hunter‐collected feathers across 29 U.S. states and Ontario to assess how past management actions, such as translocations and subspecies introductions, have shaped genetic admixture in wild turkeys. While admixture levels did not differ between historic and introduced ranges, they were influenced by management practices ...

Male wild turkeys modify their behavior in response to hunting pressure, yet most studies have inferred these effects using only hunted populations. We compared movement and habitat selection of males in a hunted population and a non‐hunted population in South Carolina, USA.

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 ...
