Don't break a leg: Running birds from quail to ostrich prioritise leg safety and economy in uneven terrain [PDF]

, 2014
Cursorial ground birds are paragons of bipedal running that span a 500-fold mass range from quail to ostrich. Here we investigate the task-level control priorities of cursorial birds by analysing how they negotiate single-step obstacles that create a ...

Current understanding of lymphoproliferative disease virus in wild turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is a retrovirus that can cause a spectrum of disease in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), from subclinical infection to lymphoid tumors. We reviewed the literature to summarize our current understanding of LPDV, including disease presentation, surveillance, impact on fitness, spatiotemporal distribution, and ...

Environmental influences on development of aflatoxins in supplemental feed for wildlife

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Millions of people provide grains as supplemental feed for wildlife. Environmental conditions can lead to those grains developing deleterious concentrations of aflatoxins from naturally occurring Aspergillus fungi. We studied aflatoxin development in grains under controlled conditions to provide best practices to minimize the risk of aflatoxin exposure

Vital rates and population trajectory of a declining eastern wild turkey population in southeastern Oklahoma

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
To investigate underlying demographic rates driving apparent declines of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in Oklahoma, we quantified current stage‐specific survival and reproductive rates. Our objective was to determine the current population trajectory using field‐derived vital rates and identify which demographic factors had the ...
