Space Use and Movements During Egg Laying Associated With Nest Fate and Female Survival in Eastern Wild Turkeys. [PDF]
We 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.

Meleagris Gallopavo Algorithmfor Solving Optimal Reactive Power Problem [PDF]
In this paper, Meleagris Gallopavo Algorithm (MGA) is proposed for solving optimal reactive power problem. As a group-mate Meleagris gallopavo follow their poultry to explore food, at the same time it prevent the same ones to eat their own food.
