Molecular Surveillance for Lymphoproliferative Disease Virus in Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) from the Eastern United States.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is a poorly understood, oncogenic avian retrovirus of domestic turkeys that has historically been restricted to Europe and Israel.

Reproductive asynchrony within social groups of female eastern wild turkeys

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
AbstractCoordination in timing of reproduction is driven by multiple ecological and sociobiological processes for a wide array of species. Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) use a male dominance polygynous mating system, where males communicate with females via elaborate courtship displays and vocalizations at display sites.

Genome evolution of Mediterranean olives following DNA repeats diversification [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea) is one of the most representative perennial crops of the Mediterranean Basin, yet the genomic processes underlying its domestication and diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated repeatome variation across 20 accessions, including 11 wild oleasters and nine cultivated ...

A SUCCESS STORY REVISITED

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2000
: Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were in serious trouble, especially in the eastern part of the country during the 1940s and 1950s. Years of overharvest, habitat degradation and a total disregard by the public were responsible for the complete loss ...

Genetic Relationship in Cicer Sp. Expose Evidence for Geneflow between the Cultigen and Its Wild Progenitor.

PLoS ONE, 2015
There is a debate concerning mono- or poly-phyletic origins of the Near Eastern crops. In parallel, some authors claim that domestication was not possible within the natural range of the wild progenitors due to wild alleles flow into the nascent crops ...

Serological Evidence of Schmallenberg Virus Exposure in Ruminant Abortion Cases from Selected Regions of Iran: A Virus Neutralization Test‐Based Study [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Neutralizing antibodies against Schmallenberg virus (SBV) were detected by the virus neutralization test in cattle and sheep with a history of abortion from three selected regions of Iran, providing evidence of prior SBV exposure and highlighting the need for further studies on its epidemiology and circulation.

INDEXES FOR AGING EASTERN WILD TURKEYS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1975
Abstract Spur length was the best single variable for determining the age of eastern wild turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo silvestris ), but a discriminant function involving spur length, beard length, and body weight was more accurate.

Female Wild Turkeys Exhibit Context Dependence in Their Selection of Roads [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how roads influenced female wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris; hereafter female) seasonal habitat selection in Maine USA as a function of road type, time of day, and land cover type to discern how females may select for areas near roads based on different contexts.

Reticulated origin of domesticated emmer wheat supports a dynamic model for the emergence of agriculture in the fertile crescent. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
We used supernetworks with datasets of nuclear gene sequences and novel markers detecting retrotransposon insertions in ribosomal DNA loci to reassess the evolutionary relationships among tetraploid wheats.
