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.

Space Use and Movements During Egg Laying Associated With Nest Fate and Female Survival in Eastern Wild Turkeys. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.

Minimal shift of eastern wild turkey nesting phenology associated with projected climate change [PDF]
, 2023 Climate change may induce mismatches between wildlife reproductive phenology and temporal occurrence of resources necessary for reproductive success. Verifying and elucidating the causal mechanisms behind potential mismatches requires large-scale, longer-
