The role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across wild turkey occupied range
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 ...

FOOD HABITS OF THE EASTERN WILD TURKEY ON AN AREA INTENSIVELY MANAGED FOR PINE IN ALABAMA
The food habits of the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were determined by dropping analysis on a 4,900‐ha area managed intensively for even‐aged pine in Choctaw and Sumter counties, Alabama from 1973 through 1977.

Measuring congruence between available and selected vegetation at wild turkey nest sites
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 ...

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

INSECT AVAILABILITY AND USE BY TURKEYS IN FOREST CLEARINGS
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 ...
