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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

CONSERVATION OF GENETIC DIVERSITY WITHIN AND AMONG SUBSPECIES OF WILD TURKEY
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2000 : Genetic differences among 5 subspecies of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) were assessed using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. DNA marker profiles were obtained for 358 birds, representing a total of 24 populations across North

FOOD HABITS OF WILD TURKEY POULTS IN MISSISSIPPI
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1975 Eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) poults, age 3‐38 days, fed on a variety of habitats, but mostly along the edges of hayfields, pastures, or roadsides and in various forest types.

18: PARASITISM AND DISEASE AMONG SOUTHEASTERN WILD TURKEYS*
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1973 During the 6 years from 1964 to 1970 nearly 400 eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were examined for parasites and diseases. Adult and immature turkeys from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and West Virginia have been studied on an ...
