Neonicotinoid detection in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in Ontario, Canada [PDF]
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018 The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in agriculture is now recognized for the health risks it poses to non-target wildlife, with associated honey bee mortality especially concerning. Research directed toward the presence and effects of these pesticides on terrestrial vertebrates that consume neonicotinoid-coated seeds, such as wild turkeys (Meleagris ...

EVALUATION OF REPRODUCTIVE PHENOLOGY AND ECOLOGY OF EASTERN WILD TURKEY (MELEAGRIS GALLOPAVO SILVESTRIS) ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES [PDF]
, 2022 Avian reproduction is known to be a driver of population dynamics across species and systems. Behavioral decisions during incubation such as habitat selection and nest attentiveness are thought to affect nest success.

Returning neighbors: eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) occupancy in an urban landscape [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife ManagementAbstractOnce extirpated from most of its range because of overharvest and habitat loss in the early 1900s, the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) has been recolonizing landscapes in the eastern United States following restoration and reintroduction efforts.

Wild Turkey, <em>Meleagris gallopavo silvestris</em>, Behavior in Central Ontario During Winter [PDF]
The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 2004 Home range size, food habits, and roost site selection are described for the Eastern Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) introduced on the Precambrian Shield in central Ontario during the winters 1999 and 2000. Monthly home range size was correlated primarily to snow depth, although it was also likely associated to other factors, including ...

Evaluation of reproductive phenology, space use, and ecology of the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in west-central Louisiana [PDF]
, 2023 Nest site selection is a driving demographic force behind eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) populations. However, previous research was likely not focused on the actual time of nest site selection, considering that nest site selection ...

Nest survival of wild turkeys Meleagris gallopavo silvestris in a mixed‐use landscape: influences at nest‐site and patch scales [PDF]
Wildlife Biology, 2013 Nest survival is a critical factor affecting avian demographics, and can be influenced by nesting chronology, fine scale nest‐site selection and broad‐scale landscape characteristics. We modeled the relative influences of nest age, temporal variation in nest success and habitat‐related covariates at two spatial scales (nest‐site ...

Avian Diseases, 2016 Wild turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were extirpated from Ontario, Canada, in the early 1900s due to unregulated over-hunting and habitat loss. Despite a successful reintroduction program and strong population numbers, information regarding the health of wild turkeys in Ontario is scarce.

Reproductive asynchrony within social groups of female eastern wild turkeys. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Coordination in timing of reproduction is driven by multiple ecological and sociobiological processes for a wide array of species. Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) use a male dominance polygynous mating system, where males ...

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