A MODIFIED FUNNEL TRAP FOR CAPTURING WILD TURKEYS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 : Trap and transplant programs have been used throughout the United States for decades to establish self‐sustaining wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkey) populations in areas of extirpation, augment declining populations, and reduce ...

Incubation recess behaviors influence nest survival of Wild Turkeys [PDF]
, 2019 In ground nesting upland birds, reproductive activities contribute to elevated predation risk, so females presumably use multiple strategies to ensure nest success.

Measuring congruence between available and selected vegetation at wild turkey nest sites
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.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 ...

REPRODUCTIVE POTENTIAL OF RIO GRANDE TURKEY HENS IN THE EDWARDS PLATEAU OF TEXASa
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1980 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
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.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
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 2015, Issue S1, Page 7-18, January 2015., 2015 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.

How to walk carrying a huge egg? Trade‐offs between locomotion and reproduction explain the special pelvis and leg anatomy in kiwi (Aves; Apteryx spp.) [PDF]
, 2019 International audienceKiwi (Aves; genus Apteryx) are famous for laying an enormous egg in comparison with their relatively small body size. Considering the peculiar gait of this flightless bird, we suspected the existence of morpho-functional trade-offs ...

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 ...
