The role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across wild turkey occupied range
This study used DNA from hunterâcollected feathers across 29 U.S. states and Ontario to assess how past management actions, such as translocations and subspecies introductions, have shaped genetic admixture in wild turkeys. While admixture levels did not differ between historic and introduced ranges, they were influenced by management practices ...

A MODIFIED FUNNEL TRAP FOR CAPTURING WILD TURKEYS
: Trap and transplant programs have been used throughout the United States for decades to establish selfâsustaining wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkey) populations in areas of extirpation, augment declining populations, and reduce ...

Measuring congruence between available and selected vegetation at wild turkey nest sites
We evaluated whether female wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo ssp.) differentially selected vegetation characteristics on the first day of egg laying across 164 nesting attempts and 492 travel paths. Vegetation conditions at nest sites were commonly available along movement paths, and visual obstruction did not influence nest success, suggesting nest ...

Home Ranges Of Female Rio Grande Turkeys (\u3ci\u3eMeleagris Gallopavo Intermedia\u3c/i\u3e) In Southern Texas [PDF]
We captured and placed radio transmitters on 27, 37, and 51 female Rio Grande turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) on the Encino, Norias, and Laureles divisions of King Ranch, respectively, in Brooks, Kenedy, and Kleberg counties, Texas.

Large scale single nucleotide polymorphism discovery in unsequenced genomes using second generation high throughput sequencing technology: applied to turkey [PDF]
Background The development of second generation sequencing methods has enabled large scale DNA variation studies at moderate cost. For the high throughput discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in species lacking a sequenced reference genome,

REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL OF RIO GRANDE TURKEY HENS IN THE EDWARDS PLATEAU OF TEXASa
Between 1973 and 1978, 123 Rio Grande turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) hens were equipped with radio transmitters. Due to transmitter malfunction, antenna breakage and natural mortality, only 53 of the hens (21 adults and 32 yearlings) were radio ...

Assessing spatial ecological patterns of wild turkey relative abundance across North America
We jointly modeled observational data from camera traps and citizen science to assess the spatially varying effects of land cover and climatic variables on wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) population abundance across the continental United States. The strongest spatial variation in covariate effects was for temperature and precipitation, suggesting ...

STATUS AND DISTRIBUTION OF WILD TURKEYS IN THE UNITED STATES: 2014 STATUS
Abstract: Wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkey) populations in North America expanded dramatically from historic lows in the late 1920s and rose exponentially as restoration work accelerated between 1950 and the early years of the 21st century.
