Genetic structuring and within‐flock relatedness of eastern wild turkeys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We investigated the genetic structure and within‐flock relatedness of wild turkeys across sites in the southeastern United States. We found that the probability of within‐flock relatedness was lowest at a study site where spring harvest of males did not occur, and relatedness varied by sex and age relationships across study sites.

Measuring the effectiveness of conservation: a novel framework to quantify the benefits of sage-grouse conservation policy and easements in Wyoming. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Increasing energy and housing demands are impacting wildlife populations throughout western North America. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a species known for its sensitivity to landscape-scale disturbance, inhabits the same low ...

Use of LiDAR to examine habitat selection by incubating female wild turkeys in South Carolina
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We evaluated how spatially explicit LiDAR‐derived estimates of forest structure and topographical features influenced selection by female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) during the incubation period. Female wild turkeys selected for incubation recess locations in pine (Pinus spp.) forests with an average basal area of ~14m2/ha and

Do Artificial Nests Simulate Nest Success of Greater Sage-Grouse?
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2013 Artificial nests have been used to study factors affecting nest success because researchers can manipulate them more than natural bird nests. Many researchers have questioned the validity of generalizing the results from artificial nests onto naturally occurring nests.

Predators, Predator Removal, and Sage-Grouse: A Review [PDF]
, 2019 Populations of sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; i.e., sage-grouse) have been in a decline since the nineteenth century. We used our research, unpublished reports, and scientific literature to identify which predators kill greater sage-grouse and ...

Comparing nesting rate and space use between extant and translocated eastern wild turkeys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.Female wild turkeys that are translocated to a site without conspecifics already present have increased range sizes and lower nesting rates when compared to extant or females translocated with conspecifics already present. This means that translocations should either translocate wild turkeys to areas where wild turkeys are already present or focus on ...

Microhabitat Selection by Greater Sage-Grouse Hens During Brood Rearing
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined throughout the western United States over the past century. Loss of large stands of sagebrush is a major factor leading to the decline of sage-grouse populations.
