Acta Ornithologica, 2017 The effects of landscape alteration on wildlife have drawn increasing attention from ecologists as landscapes have rapidly changed worldwide. Large-bodied birds are highly sensitive to habitat loss and fragmentation. We aimed to test two hypotheses concerning landscape-abundance relationships of male Wild Turkeys Meleagris gallopavo silvestris, the ...

Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2016 Abstract The wild turkey ( Meleagris gallopavo ) was an important food resource to Precolumbian Native Americans; however, little attention has been given to the subject of turkey husbandry, or use in the American Southeast. We thus present demographic turkey data from the Mississippian Period Fewkes site in Tennessee, ethnographic and ethnohistoric ...

The Journal of Parasitology, 1972 A new trematode, Renicola hayesannieae, is reported from the kidney of 7 of 30 wild turkey, Meleagris gallopavo silvestris, from Tunica County, Mississippi. The new species appears to be more closely related to R. thaidus Stunkard, 1964, than to the other members of the genus.
