Evaluation of Reproductive Phenology and Ecology of Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Across the Southeastern United States [PDF]
, 2019 The primary driver of population growth and sustainability of gallinaceous birds is annual recruitment. Habitat selection by wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo spp.) during reproductive activities could influence production at multiple temporal and ...

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

ROOSTING BEHAVIOR OF MALE EASTERN AND RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 : Roosting behavior is poorly understood relative to other facets of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkey) ecology. However, GPS technology has provided an opportunity to detail aspects of roosting behavior that have traditionally eluded ...

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 ...

DYNAMICS BETWEEN SPRING AND FALL HARVESTS OF WILD TURKEYS IN VIRGINIA
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1995 : Different wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) population growth and density indices have been observed among counties in Virginia. This study was conducted to determine if a relationship existed between different levels of fall harvest and ...

Helminth Parasites of Illinois Wild Turkeys [PDF]
, 1974 Viscera from 69 wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) collected from Jackson, Union and Alexander counties, Illinois, were examined for helminth and coccidian parasites. A total of eight species of parasites was found, all in the alimentary tract.

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 ...

STATUS OF WILD TURKEY RESTORATION IN EAST TEXAS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1975 Wild turkey restoration efforts in east Texas began in the early 1940's. From then until the early 1950's penreared eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) were released in one county and wild‐trapped Rio Grande turkeys (M. g.
