Winter Roost Site Characteristics of Eastern Wild Turkeys
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1988Nine 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

Reproduction of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Virginia and West Virginia
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2001Knowledge of reproductive parameters and assessment of the relative importance of factors affecting reproductive success are essential for effective management of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris). We determined reproductive parameters of 599 radiomarked hens (293 for >1 yr), and the effects of age, year, region, condition (winter ...

Reintroduction and Range Expansion of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Minnesota*
Geographical Review, 2011Extirpated 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). Although James Earl Kennamer, Mary C.

Reproductive Ecology of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Southwestern Wisconsin
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1998Developing 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, 2018ABSTRACTManagement 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.

Eastern Wild Turkey Reproduction in an Area Subjected to Flooding
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1997We 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, 1999Most 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.

Motivations and support for regulations: a typology of eastern wild turkey hunters
Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2018To determine the diverse motivations of eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) hunters, a self-administered questionnaire was developed and mailed to a sample of 5,000 licensed turkey hunters in Tennessee (response rate = 36%). A cluster analysis yielded three types of respondents in terms of their hunting motivations: social harvesters (44 ...

Plasma Corticosterone Level as an Indicator of Stress in the Eastern Wild Turkey
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1977Plasma 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

Habitat Use by Female Eastern Wild Turkeys in Southeastern Oklahoma
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1989We radiomarked 41 adult female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) to determine home range and habitat use on intensively managed forests in the Ouachita Mountains, southeastern Oklahoma. We monitored turkeys during 1983-84 on a 19,000 ha management area consisting of naturally regenerated stands (66%), 1-13-year-old pine (Pinus spp.)
