Review of range‐wide vital rates quantifies eastern wild Turkey population trajectory [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Recent declines in eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) have prompted increased interest in management and research of this important game species. However, the mechanisms underlying these declines are unclear, leaving uncertainty in how

REPRODUCTIVE ECOLOGY OF EASTERN WILD TURKEY FEMALES IN THE EASTERN MISSOURI OZARKS [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2000 : We studied reproductive ecology of radiomarked eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) females in the eastern Ozarks of Missouri on 2 study areas during 1990–98. Across years and study areas, nesting rates ranged from 45.3 to 100%.

RESTORATION AND STATUS OF THE EASTERN WILD TURKEY IN OKLAHOMA [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1985 : The eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) occurred throughout most of Oklahoma prior to settlement. With increasing settlement in the late 1800s and early 1900s, eastern turkey populations declined.

SURVIVAL OF EASTERN WILD TURKEY MALES IN THE EASTERN MISSOURI OZARKS [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005 : From 1988 to 2000, we monitored 487 radiomarked male wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) on 2 study areas (South Study Area [SSA] and Peck Ranch Conservation Area [PRCA]) in the eastern Missouri Ozarks.

PRODUCTIVITY OF THE EASTERN WILD TURKEY IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1975 Eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) productivity was determined during the summers of 1968‐72 in the Mississippi River Delta, Mississippi. Highest productivity occurred in 1969 and the lowest in 1970.

3: RESTORATION OF THE EASTERN WILD TURKEY IN MISSOURI [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1973 Missouri's pre‐Columbian wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) population is estimated to have been 250,000 to 400,000 birds. Settlement in the late 1800's reduced virgin forests by 50 percent and eliminated the turkey from more than 83 percent of

SURVIVAL OF EASTERN WILD TURKEY MALES IN WESTERN KENTUCKY
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2000 : From 1995 to 1999, we monitored 366 radiomarked male wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in western Kentucky to obtain estimates of survival, cause‐specific mortality, and harvest rates. Average annual survival rates differed between juvenile

Role of kinship in sociality of female eastern wild turkeys
Wildlife Society BulletinFemale eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) exhibit seasonal variation in gregarious behaviors, forming larger winter flocks that dissolve into smaller social groups prior to the onset of reproductive activities.

Factors influencing productivity of eastern wild turkeys in northeastern South Dakota [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Population growth is highly sensitive to changes in reproductive rates for many avian species. Understanding how reproductive rates are related to environmental conditions can give managers insight into factors contributing to population change.
