Do movement behaviors identify reproductive habitat sampling for wild turkeys?
Selection of habitats has regularly been suggested to influence species demography at both local and broad scales. The expectation is that selection behaviors have positive benefits via greater fitness or increased survival.

WILD TURKEYS AS MONITORS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Wildlife are usually considered vectors, reservoirs, or primary targets of infectious disease. This paper illustrates that they can also serve as sentinels of disease activity. In Texas, the Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) is well

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study

Avian influenza overview March–May 2026
Abstract Between 28 February and 4 June 2026, 949 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus detections were reported in domestic (186) and wild (763) birds in 30 countries in Europe. The downward trend in the number of detections observed at the end of the previous reporting period continued and is expected to persist throughout the summer ...

Impact of Reproductive Effort on Survival of Rio Grande Wild Turkey Meleagris Gallop Intermedia Hens in Texas [PDF]
The southeastern portion of the Edwards Plateau of Texas, historically a stronghold of Rio Grande wild turkeys Meleagris gallopavo intermedia , has seen the numbers of turkeys declining since the 1970s. Because hen survival is a key parameter affecting turkey population dynamics, we monitored
