Comparison of heterophil functions of modern commercial and wild-type Rio Grande turkeys [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 2006
The purpose of the present study was to measure any functional differences in peripheral blood heterophils isolated from a commercial turkey line to wild-type Rio Grande turkeys. The phagocytosis of Salmonella enteritidis, oxidative burst (OXB) and degranulation (DGR) were used as parameters of heterophil functional efficiency in these studies.

Space Use and Movements During Egg Laying Associated With Nest Fate and Female Survival in Eastern Wild Turkeys. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.

Instances of intraspecific nest parasitism in eastern and Rio Grande wild turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2022
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 (

SEROLOGIC RESPONSE OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS TO EXPERIMENTAL INFECTIONS OF MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTICUM [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1988
The serologic response of Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) to Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was determined. Free-ranging turkeys were caught in southern Texas, shipped to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and housed in isolation facilities. Fourteen birds were exposed to MG, by intratracheal and intranasal inoculation. Eight

Survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey chicks

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2005
Knowledge of chick survival rates is required to develop species-specific habitat-survival relationships. We determined pre-flight daily survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) chicks from hatching to time of tree roost at four sites in southwestern Kansas and the Texas Rolling Plains, May-August, 2000 and 2001.
