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.

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.

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.

Density‐Dependent Harvest Modeling for the Eastern Wild Turkey

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2008
Abstract Many current wild turkey ( Meleagris gallopavo ) harvest models assume density‐independent population dynamics. We developed an alternative model incorporating both nonlinear density‐dependence and stochastic density‐independent effects on wild turkey populations.

Reproduction of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Virginia and West Virginia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2001
Knowledge 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, 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). Although James Earl Kennamer, Mary C.

Habitat Use by Female Eastern Wild Turkeys in Southeastern Oklahoma

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1989
We 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.)

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.

Artificial Nests Identify Possible Nest Predators of Eastern Wild Turkeys

Southeastern Naturalist, 2014
Abstract Poor nest survival is a critical limiting factor in the recruitment of wild birds. Nest predation is often cited as one of the main causes of nest failure, especially for ground-nesting species. We monitored artificial Meleagris gallopavo silvestris (Eastern Wild Turkey) nests, using time-lapse and motion-sensitive trail cameras to determine ...

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 ...
