Wild turkey roost selection is more consistently associated with tree traits than microclimate
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Animals must cope with a range of climatic conditions across seasons, and they can accomplish this by selecting habitats that are favourable for thermoregulation. Sheltering from environmental conditions can be particularly important for reducing energetic costs when animals are inactive, but the influence of microclimate on the fine‐scale selection of

Estimating density of an unmarked, low‐density wild turkey population
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris, hereafter turkey) populations have been declining across the southeastern United States, including Oklahoma. Little is known about current turkey population numbers, as no robust method has been established for density estimation.

Comparison of methods for estimating wild turkey poult survival
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.Wild turkey poult survival is a challenging metric to measure in wild turkey reproduction, and interpreting this information can have significant implications for managers at the population scale. Flushing wild turkey broods and radio‐tagging poults produced similar estimates of poult survival over a 56‐day monitoring period post‐hatching. Both methods

Wildlife Biology, 2013 Nest survival is a critical factor affecting avian demographics, and can be influenced by nesting chronology, fine scale nest‐site selection and broad‐scale landscape characteristics. We modeled the relative influences of nest age, temporal variation in nest success and habitat‐related covariates at two spatial scales (nest‐site ...

The Notorious P.I.G.: wild pigs are not primary predators of wild turkey nests
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.Considerable attention has been focused on the potential impacts of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) on wild turkey demography. We used the most spatially and temporally comprehensive dataset available on the nesting ecology of wild turkeys to demonstrate that wild pigs are not primary nest predators of wild turkeys.

Genetic structuring and within‐flock relatedness of eastern wild turkeys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We investigated the genetic structure and within‐flock relatedness of wild turkeys across sites in the southeastern United States. We found that the probability of within‐flock relatedness was lowest at a study site where spring harvest of males did not occur, and relatedness varied by sex and age relationships across study sites.
