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 ...

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.
