A scalable integrated population model for estimating abundance for gamebird management
Our O‐IPM presents an efficient and practical approach for estimating wildlife population demographics, particularly in situations where data collection is limited. This study demonstrates how information from intensive, localized research can be leveraged to inform broader‐scale management through strategic use of prior information.

EVIDENCE AGAINST DEPENDENCE UPON SURFACE WATER BY TURKEY HENS AND POULTS IN SOUTHERN ALABAMA1
: Intensive radio telemetry data collected on eastern wild turkey hens and poults (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in southern Alabama from May‐August 1982‐84 indicated that turkeys seldom crossed or approached within 100 m of available water supplies ...

21: RESTORING WILD‐TRAPPED TURKEYS TO NONPRIMARY RANGE IN WEST VIRGINIA*
Twenty‐one releases of wild‐trapped turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris), involving 213 birds, were made on 19 areas in nonprimary range. Turkeys still exist on 18 of the areas.

TURKEY HARVEST MANAGEMENT IN NEW YORK
The turkey permit system with mandatory reporting and a pre‐hunting season banding program were initiated to determine the effect of varying fall hunting season lengths and hunting pressures on wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) populations. In

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 ...

Wild turkey roost selection is more consistently associated with tree traits than microclimate
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
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
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

The Notorious P.I.G.: wild pigs are not primary predators of wild turkey nests
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.
