Current understanding of lymphoproliferative disease virus in wild turkeys
Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is a retrovirus that can cause a spectrum of disease in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), from subclinical infection to lymphoid tumors. We reviewed the literature to summarize our current understanding of LPDV, including disease presentation, surveillance, impact on fitness, spatiotemporal distribution, and ...

Molecular phylogeny and evolution of Parabasalia with improved taxon sampling and new protein markers of actin and elongation factor-1α [PDF]
Background: Inferring the evolutionary history of phylogenetically isolated, deep-branching groups of taxa—in particular determining the root—is often extraordinarily difficult because their close relatives are unavailable as suitable outgroups.

Female biased offspring sex ratios of eastern wild turkeys across the southeastern United States
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)

CHRONOLOGY OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY FLOCKING BEHAVIOR IN THE TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS
: Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) winter flocks are often >200 birds on the roost. Evaluations of winter flock congregation timing and potential climatic correlates that may influence this behavior are lacking.

Accounting for non‐random samples with distance sampling to estimate population density
When using landscape features as survey lines, the density gradient and deer distribution can introduce either positive or negative bias, which makes it impossible to assess the bias introduced without auxiliary data. The estimator we developed can improve precision because we obtained a better fit to distance observations and accounts for non‐random ...
