Effects of northern bobwhite habitat management on avian species of conservation concern
The umbrella species concept is often used as a tool to guide management decisions and focus efforts towards one focal species whose habitat needs overlap that of other species.

The northern bobwhite is an economically important species across its geographic range that has experienced declining population numbers. There is ample research dedicated to evaluating management practices for the adult life stage. However, effects of management on bobwhite chicks remain understudied, despite this being the most vulnerable age class ...

ABSTRACT Nucleoredoxin 1 (NRX1), a member of the redoxin superfamily, plays a critical role in maintaining redox homeostasis and enhancing stress tolerance in plants. We employed integrated in silico analyses and CRISPR‐Cas9‐based genome editing to functionally characterize NRX1 in Triticum aestivum (wheat) responding to salinity and infection by ...

Does weather drive habitat use and movement of a nonmigratory bird?
Climate change is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of weather extremes (e.g., extreme heat and drought), which will likely affect wildlife species in significant ways. Maintaining landscape heterogeneity has been suggested as a potential

Life-history and hormonal control of aggression in black redstarts: blocking testosterone does not decrease territorial aggression, but changes the emphasis of vocal behaviours during simulated territorial intrusions [PDF]
Introduction: Many studies in behavioural endocrinology attempt to link territorial aggression with testosterone, but the exact relationship between testosterone and territorial behaviour is still unclear and may depend on the ecology of a species.

Comparison of methods for estimating wild turkey poult survival
Wild turkey poult survival is a challenging metric to measure in wild turkey reproduction, and interpreting this information can have significant implications for managers at the population scale. Flushing wild turkey broods and radio‐tagging poults produced similar estimates of poult survival over a 56‐day monitoring period post‐hatching. Both methods

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 ...

Population Status and Trends of Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) in Ohio: 1984- 2004 [PDF]
Author Institution: Terrestrial Wildlife Ecology Laboratory, School of Environment and Natural Resources, The Ohio State UniversityWe assessed the status and trends of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations in Ohio from 1984-2004 (21 years).

Male wild turkeys modify their behavior in response to hunting pressure, yet most studies have inferred these effects using only hunted populations. We compared movement and habitat selection of males in a hunted population and a non‐hunted population in South Carolina, USA.

Comparing nesting rate and space use between extant and translocated eastern wild turkeys
Female wild turkeys that are translocated to a site without conspecifics already present have increased range sizes and lower nesting rates when compared to extant or females translocated with conspecifics already present. This means that translocations should either translocate wild turkeys to areas where wild turkeys are already present or focus on ...
