Genome Sequence of Fowlpox Virus-Integrated Reticuloendotheliosis Virus from a Rio Grande Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia). [PDF]
We report the genome sequence of a nearly intact reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) insertion within a field strain of fowlpox virus from a Rio Grande wild turkey in Gillespie County, TX. The proviral REV genome comprises 7,943 bp and contains partial long terminal repeats.

EFFECT OF PRECIPITATION ON RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY POULT PRODUCTION IN TEXAS
: Precipitation can strongly influence the population dynamics of gallinaceous birds in semiarid regions. Little is known, however, about the interaction of precipitation and Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia; RGWT) production in ...

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF FEMALE RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS DURING THE REPRODUCTIVE SEASON
: Selection of suitable nesting habitat is commonly thought to be the catalyst for long‐range movements of female Rio Grande wild turkeys (RGWT; Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) from their winter to reproductive ranges.

PATTERNS OF CAPTURE‐RELATED MORTALITY IN RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS
: Researchers investigating survival of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) traditionally have assumed mortalities within the first 14 days may be capture‐related, and have excluded those data from analyses.

MOVEMENT, FIDELITY AND DISPERSAL OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE
: Wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) studies have traditionally focused on factors associated with population change from within the population. Consequently, movement into and out of turkey populations is poorly understood.

MALE RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY HABITAT CHARACTERISTICS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS
: Habitat use has not been described for male Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) in the northern extent of their native range. We described roost tree characteristics and compared the vegetative characteristics of diurnal habitat ...

UTILITY OF POULT‐HEN COUNTS TO INDEX PRODUCTIVITY OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS
: Many states use poult‐hen counts to index wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) population parameters such as reproduction, recruitment, and density. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) personnel have conducted poult‐hen counts of Rio Grande wild ...

Instances of intraspecific nest parasitism in eastern and Rio Grande wild turkeys
Abstract Nest parasitism can play an important role in processes regulating population dynamics of both hosts and parasites. Inter‐ and intra‐specific nest parasitism are 2 alternative reproductive strategies observed to occur in about 1% of all bird species. Recently, low productivity in wild turkey (
