REPRODUCTIVE ECOLOGY OF EASTERN WILD TURKEY FEMALES IN THE EASTERN MISSOURI OZARKS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2000
: We studied reproductive ecology of radiomarked eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) females in the eastern Ozarks of Missouri on 2 study areas during 1990–98. Across years and study areas, nesting rates ranged from 45.3 to 100%.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NEST SUCCESS AND CONCEALMENT IN TWO GROUND-NESTING PASSERINES

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2000
Abstract We examined vegetation characteristics around nest sites of the Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) and Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus) for three summers in the northern-and mixed-hardwood forests of northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to test the hypothesis that nests with greater concealment are less vulnerable to ...
