Environmental influences on development of aflatoxins in supplemental feed for wildlife

open access: yesWildlife 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

Bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) Failure as Vectors of Fowl Cholera in Turkeys [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 1971
Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) were exposed to infection of fowl cholera by housing them in a pen where experimental epornitics of fowl cholera were in progress. These bobwhites subsequently were allowed to cohabit with susceptible turkeys. None of the turkeys developed fowl cholera thereby suggesting that the bobwhite is not a vector of fowl ...

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

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...

Ecovoltaic solar energy development can promote grassland bird communities

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3341-3354, December 2025.
Our findings suggest that properly sited and developed ecovoltaic solar facilities in human altered landscapes can improve habitat for birds and other wildlife, but further research is needed to understand which species may benefit most from these novel ecosystems.

A global review of the conservation status of true quails (Families Odontophoridae and Phasianidae)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Understanding the conservation status of species is imperative to stem global declines. To better inform conservation, we summarized the global conservation status of New World (Family Odontophoridae) and Old World (Family Phasianidae) true quail species.

Use of a thermal camera to aid in capturing northern bobwhite quail chicks

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
There is a paucity of information concerning northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) chick demography caused by a deficiency of efficient published capture techniques and permanent unique markers for identification. In order to facilitate chick research,

Tree cover limits occupancy of a declining game bird

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Open forest ecosystems are considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and many associated avian species are experiencing population declines. Management at large and impactful scales is challenging on private lands due to fragmentation and resource limitations, but public lands are often larger in scale and offer opportunities for
