The role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across wild turkey occupied range

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
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 ...

Effects of broadcasting calls during surveys to estimate density and occupancy of northern bobwhite

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
We assessed the effects of using a broadcast caller during surveys and increasing survey duration to estimate northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) density and occupancy.

Lactobacillus colini sp. nov., isolated from Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
Biochemical and molecular studies were performed on five unknown bacterial strains isolated from the intestinal contents of Northern Bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) collected from western Texas, USA. The strains were Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, non-spore-forming rods arranged in single cells, pairs or short chains.

Hunting impacts male wild turkey space use and resource selection: insights from a hunted and non‐hunted population

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
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.

The invertebrate diet of northern bobwhite chicks in Georgia, United States [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2012
The establishment of brood–rearing habitats along field margins has become a popular agri–environmental prescription to help reverse population declines of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) in Georgia, United States.

Comparing nesting rate and space use between extant and translocated eastern wild turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
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 ...

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 ...

Population demographics of translocated northern bobwhites on fragmented habitat

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
Habitat fragmentation is considered a contributing factor to declining populations of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus). Some population strongholds exist within large expanses of habitat; however, many regions of the species' range have become ...
