Role of kinship in sociality of female eastern wild turkeys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We used a matrix of contact rates generated from high‐resolution global positioning system data to quantify interactions and contact rates based on genetic relatedness. We found that most females with genetic relatives in their winter flocks did not join social group prior to breeding that included those relatives. Our findings suggest that female wild

Investigating diel patterns of predation events in wild turkeys using tri‐axial accelerometer data
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We used GPS and tri‐axial accelerometer data to examine the timing and location of 154 predation events on wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) monitored across the southeastern U.S. from 2022 to 2024. Predation patterns varied by sex and season, with females experiencing high nocturnal predation during nesting and brooding, and males ...

Assessing spatial ecological patterns of wild turkey relative abundance across North America
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We jointly modeled observational data from camera traps and citizen science to assess the spatially varying effects of land cover and climatic variables on wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) population abundance across the continental United States. The strongest spatial variation in covariate effects was for temperature and precipitation, suggesting ...
