WILD TURKEY MANAGEMENT ON DOMESTICATED PINE FORESTS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1985 : Saw timber sized conifers, mature hardwoods, and freedom from disturbance are considered by many as essential for maintaining sizable wild turkey populations of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris).

The role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across wild turkey occupied range
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.This study used DNA from hunter‐collected feathers across 29 U.S. states and Ontario to assess how past management actions, such as translocations and subspecies introductions, have shaped genetic admixture in wild turkeys. While admixture levels did not differ between historic and introduced ranges, they were influenced by management practices ...

FIFTEEN YEARS OF WILD TURKEY TRAPPING, BANDING, AND RECOVERY DATA IN MISSOURI
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1980 A trapping, banding, and recovery study of Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) was conducted from 1965 through 1979 in Missouri's northern Ozarks.

Measuring congruence between available and selected vegetation at wild turkey nest sites
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We evaluated whether female wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo ssp.) differentially selected vegetation characteristics on the first day of egg laying across 164 nesting attempts and 492 travel paths. Vegetation conditions at nest sites were commonly available along movement paths, and visual obstruction did not influence nest success, suggesting nest ...

INSECT AVAILABILITY AND USE BY TURKEYS IN FOREST CLEARINGS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1975 Insect availability in forest wildlife clearings and under the forest canopy was evaluated in southwest Virginia from May to October 1971. Three age‐groups of 120 domestic turkey poults were allowed to feed in four forest wildlife clearings and four ...

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We investigated the temporal relationship between wild turkey gobbling and nesting and how the timing of these behaviors overlapped with the hunting season across three distinct physiographic ecoregions in North Carolina, USA. Although daily gobbling activity was highly variable within and among years, nest initiation timing was consistent across years

ROOSTING BEHAVIOR OF MALE EASTERN AND RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 : Roosting behavior is poorly understood relative to other facets of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkey) ecology. However, GPS technology has provided an opportunity to detail aspects of roosting behavior that have traditionally eluded ...

Use of LiDAR to examine habitat selection by incubating female wild turkeys in South Carolina
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We evaluated how spatially explicit LiDAR‐derived estimates of forest structure and topographical features influenced selection by female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) during the incubation period. Female wild turkeys selected for incubation recess locations in pine (Pinus spp.) forests with an average basal area of ~14m2/ha and

Coccidian Parasites of Wild Turkeys, Meleagris gallopavo silvestris, in Illinois
, 1979 Fecal samples from 124 wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris), collected in three southern Illinois counties, were examined for coccidia. Three and two tenths percent (4) of the birds sampled were infected with Eimeria of apparently four different
