The Effects of Prescribed Fire on Artificial Wild Turkey Nest Survival in Closed-Canopy Mixed Hardwood Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The 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.

Ungulate browsers promote herbaceous layer diversity in logged temperate forests. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2016
Ungulates are leading drivers of plant communities worldwide, with impacts linked to animal density, disturbance and vegetation structure, and site productivity. We examined the effects of (1) white‐tailed deer and (2) moose + white‐tailed deer on the herbaceous layers of regenerating temperate forests 5–6 years after canopy removal by logging ...

Roosting ecology of Gould's wild turkeys in southeastern Arizona

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 86, Issue 7, September 2022., 2022
Gould's wild turkeys are spatially restricted to mountainous semi‐arid areas of southwestern United States, and Mexico, and information on their distribution and habitat use is limited. Roost sites were selected at moderate elevations and were predominately on north‐facing slopes with slight incline, suggesting little plasticity in selection of roost ...

Habitat diversity influences puma Puma concolor diet in the Chihuahuan Desert

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2021, Issue 4, 2021., 2021
Habitat heterogeneity and corresponding diversity in potential prey species should increase the diet breadth of generalist predators. Many previous studies describing puma Puma concolor diets in the arid regions of the southwestern United States were focused within largely xeric locations, overlooking the influence of heterogeneity created by riparian ...

Avian influenza overview October 2016-August 2017. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2017
Abstract The A(H5N8) highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) epidemic occurred in 29 European countries in 2016/2017 and has been the largest ever recorded in the EU in terms of number of poultry outbreaks, geographical extent and number of dead wild birds.

HISTORIA NATURAL, DOMESTICACIÓN Y DISTRIBUCIÓN DEL GUAJOLOTE (Meleagris gallopavo) EN MEXICO

, 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 ...

Evaluation of Space Use and Movement by Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) During Extreme Climatic Disturbances and Annual Phenological States

, 2020
Space use is driven by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors across space and time. Meaning a species demography and habitat requirements may vary across landscapes.
