Environmental influences on development of aflatoxins in supplemental feed for wildlife
Millions of people provide grains as supplemental feed for wildlife. Environmental conditions can lead to those grains developing deleterious concentrations of aflatoxins from naturally occurring Aspergillus fungi. We studied aflatoxin development in grains under controlled conditions to provide best practices to minimize the risk of aflatoxin exposure

To investigate underlying demographic rates driving apparent declines of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in Oklahoma, we quantified current stage‐specific survival and reproductive rates. Our objective was to determine the current population trajectory using field‐derived vital rates and identify which demographic factors had the ...

Integrating Agroforestry Practices for Wildlife Habitat (2008) [PDF]
"Agricultural practices and land-use decisions influence wildlife habitat and use by wildlife. Some actions can enhance habitats, while others negatively impact wildlife. Certain land-use practices have resulted in a decrease in the quality and diversity

Ecovoltaic solar energy development can promote grassland bird communities
Our findings suggest that properly sited and developed ecovoltaic solar facilities in human altered landscapes can improve habitat for birds and other wildlife, but further research is needed to understand which species may benefit most from these novel ecosystems.

Raptor abundance and northern bobwhite survival and habitat use
Predation risk has a profound influence on prey behavior and habitat use. The Rio Grande Plains ecoregion of Texas, USA, provides a unique opportunity to investigate changes in prey behavior because the ecoregion experiences a high influx of raptors ...

A global review of the conservation status of true quails (Families Odontophoridae and Phasianidae)
Understanding the conservation status of species is imperative to stem global declines. To better inform conservation, we summarized the global conservation status of New World (Family Odontophoridae) and Old World (Family Phasianidae) true quail species.

Tree cover limits occupancy of a declining game bird
Open forest ecosystems are considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and many associated avian species are experiencing population declines. Management at large and impactful scales is challenging on private lands due to fragmentation and resource limitations, but public lands are often larger in scale and offer opportunities for

Invasive Wild pigs as primary nest predators for Wild turkeys [PDF]
Depredation of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nests is a leading cause of reduced recruitment for the recovering and iconic game species. invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are known to depredate nests, and have been expanding throughout the distributed ...
