Neonicotinoid detection in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in Ontario, Canada. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Prospecting during egg laying informs incubation recess movements of eastern wild turkeys. [PDF]
Mov EcolBackground: Central place foragers must acquire resources and return to a central location after foraging bouts. During the egg laying (hereafter laying) period, females are constrained to a nest location, thus they must familiarize themselves with ...
