Genome Sequence of Fowlpox Virus-Integrated Reticuloendotheliosis Virus from a Rio Grande Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia ) [PDF]
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2022 We report the genome sequence of a nearly intact reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) insertion within a field strain of fowlpox virus from a Rio Grande wild turkey in Gillespie County, TX. The proviral REV genome comprises 7,943 bp and contains partial long terminal repeats.

Anatomy of the sternum and humerus in the domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus). [PDF]
Vet Radiol Ultrasound, 2023 Abstract Injuries of the sternum and humerus are an important welfare concern in domestic chickens (Gallus domesticus), especially laying hens. Published anatomic references using standardized terminology from the Nomina Anatomica Avium (NAA) are lacking.

Review of range-wide vital rates quantifies eastern wild Turkey population trajectory. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Using a life‐stage simulation analysis, we show survival and reproduction of adult female wild turkeys had the greatest influence on population trajectories for this species. However, these life stages showed differing patterns in elasticity and variability, with adult survival having high elasticity but low process variance, and reproduction having ...

Coyote, <em>Canis latrans</em> - Rio Grande Turkey, <em>Meleagris gallopavo intermedia</em>, Interactions [PDF]
The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 2003 Coyotes (Canis latrans) are widely known to be predators of Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopauo sspp.). We describe two observations of single Coyotes coming within 10 m of feeding Wild Turkey flocks without attempting to predate them in Stevens County, Kansas. We relate these observations to Coyote predation on turkeys and mobbing behavior.

Invasive Wild Pigs as Primary Nest Predators for Wild Turkeys. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Depredation of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nests is a leading cause of reduced recruitment for the recovering and iconic game species. invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are known to depredate nests, and have been expanding throughout the distributed ...

HISTORIA NATURAL, DOMESTICACIÓN Y DISTRIBUCIÓN DEL GUAJOLOTE (Meleagris gallopavo) EN MEXICO [PDF]
Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2014 El estudio histórico de los pavos o guajolotes en México se ha complicado por las diferentes sinonimias que se le dan a la especie, porque los primeros estudiosos del tema los confundían con otras especies de características similares y por la presencia ...

Roosting ecology of Gould\u27s wild turkeys in southeastern Arizona [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 86, Issue 7, September 2022., 2022 Availability of suitable roosting sites influences distribution of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) across the landscape. In semi-arid environments, roosts are limited to riparian corridors capable of supporting trees large enough to provide suitable ...

The Effects of Prescribed Fire on Artificial Wild Turkey Nest Survival in Closed-Canopy Mixed Hardwood Forest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe eastern wild turkey has declined in portions of the Southeast, raising concerns about how large‐scale prescribed fires might affect nest success. To explore this, we conducted an artificial nest study in Alabama's Talladega National Forest, where prescribed fires cover large burn units annually.

Do movement behaviors identify reproductive habitat sampling for wild turkeys? [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 Using high‐frequency GPS data from wild turkeys, we show that the long‐standing assumption of hierarchical habitat selection to identify nest sites may be incorrect. As such, habitat selection may not be the proximate driver of nest success and hence population‐level fitness.
