Reintroduction and Range Expansion of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Minnesota*

Geographical Review, 2011
Extirpated from Minnesota in the late 1800s by Euro-American settlers and reintroduced in the twentieth century by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR), the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo sylvestris) has proved remarkably successful and virtually free of controversy (Figure 1).

Population response of eastern wild turkey to removal of wild pigs

The Journal of Wildlife Management
AbstractThere is insufficient understanding of interspecific interactions with the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) and wild pigs (Sus scrofa). Wild pigs compete with wild turkeys and predate nests and adults; however, population‐level effects on wild turkeys are not clear.

Eastern Wild Turkey Reproduction in an Area Subjected to Flooding

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1997
We used cohort analyses and population cohort matrices to model a wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) population under perturbed (i.e., man-induced flooding on 3-yr intervals) and unperturbed (i.e., non-flood) conditions. The net reproductive rate (R o ) of a cohort in which reproduction in the hatching-year (HY) age class was perturbed by ...

Habitat Use of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Central Mississippi

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1999
Most past studies of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) habitat use were limited to 1 spatial scale. were of short duration, and had not simultaneously examined habitat use by both sexes. We used compositional analysis to describe habitat use of an castern wild turkey (M.

Winter Roost Site Characteristics of Eastern Wild Turkeys

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1988
Nine winter roost sites used by Meleagris gallopavo silvestris in Rhode Island were compared to 9 random plots. Roost sites were closer to open water than random plots (mean 39.8±19.6 vs 280.9±114.2m). White pine Pinus strobus and oaks Quercus spp., comprised 43.7 and 24.2%, respectively, of trees within roost sites and 24.3 and 46.7%, respectively, of

Reproductive Ecology of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Southwestern Wisconsin

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1998
Developing sound harvest strategies for wild turkey populations requires geographically specific information on population dynamics. The absence of this information prompted us to investigate the reproductive ecology of a hunted population of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in southwestern Wisconsin during 1989-92.

Nest and brood site selection of eastern wild turkeys

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2018
ABSTRACTManagement of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests relies on frequent prescribed fire to maintain desirable plant communities. Prescribed fire is often applied while female wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are reproductively active and may immediately affect habitat availability and demographic outcomes.

Habitat Selection Models for Eastern Wild Turkeys in Central Mississippi

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2000
Few quantitative models of habitat use exist for eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris). We used logistic regression to build and cross-validate sex- and season-specific multivariate models of habitat selection for wild turkeys in central Mississippi.

Plasma Corticosterone Level as an Indicator of Stress in the Eastern Wild Turkey

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1977
Plasma corticosterone levels were measured in three groups of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) by a competitive protein binding technique. Three male and 1 female turkeys were pen-reared and sampled bi-weekly for 54 weeks, resulting in 112 samples. Ten male and 22 female birds were trapped and comprised the second group, while the third group

Nest Site Characteristics of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Central Ontario

Northeastern Naturalist, 2004
Abstract We studied nest site selection by Eastern Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) to compare successful and unsuccessful nests at the northern edge of the species' range in central Ontario during 2000. Six of 16 (38%) nests that we studied were successful.
