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.

35: MORTALITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPRING HUNTING OF GOBBLERS*
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1973 Harvest mortality data associated with the spring hunting of gobblers only was provided by observations and recoveries of banded gobblers during five hunting seasons, 1965‐1969.

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 ...

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

TURKEY HARVEST MANAGEMENT IN NEW YORK
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1975 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

Coccidian Parasites of Wild Turkeys, Meleagris gallopavo silvestris, in Illinois [PDF]
, 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

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.

WILD TURKEY POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS IN NORTHERN PENNSYLVANIA
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1975 Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were historically absent in northcentral Pennsylvania. Extensive clearcutting in the late 1800's changed the forest from a coniferous to a hardwood type.

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.
