Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We flew UAVs with thermal cameras over roost locations of GPS‐tagged wild turkeys to assess the viability of UAVs as a population survey tool. We trained a deep‐learning model to detect and count turkeys in thermal video, and were able to incorporate environmental variables to accurately estimate the number of wild turkeys sampled.

Decreased female survival may help explain wild turkey population decline
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.Meta‐analysis shows recent decreases in annual adult female wild turkey survival may help explain contemporary population declines in North America from 1978–2023. Abstract Recent declines in wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) populations have prompted extensive research efforts and adjustments to state hunting regulations across the range of wild ...

Female biased offspring sex ratios of eastern wild turkeys across the southeastern United States
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.Prevailing theory suggests that sex ratios of offspring at birth should not differ from parity if costs of producing offspring of both sexes are similar. However, offspring sex ratios may deviate from parity when there is sex specific variation in fitness returns. We assessed offspring sex ratios of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris)

Assessment of the morphological development of the caecal tonsil in turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) [PDF]
, 1970 The post hatch (PH) development of the caecal tonsil in turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) was studied from day (D) 1 post-hatch to D 140. The tonsils appeared as nodular structure on the surface of the proximal part of the caecal base.
