CLIMATE‐BASED NEURAL MODELS OF RIO GRANDE TURKEY PRODUCTIVITY IN TEXAS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005 : We used neural‐network modeling to assess the effects of weather and climate variables in predicting production (poults:hen ratios) of Rio Grande turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) in Texas.

The role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across wild turkey occupied range
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.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 ...

ROOSTING BEHAVIOR OF MALE EASTERN AND RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 : Roosting behavior is poorly understood relative to other facets of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkey) ecology. However, GPS technology has provided an opportunity to detail aspects of roosting behavior that have traditionally eluded ...

Measuring congruence between available and selected vegetation at wild turkey nest sites
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We evaluated whether female wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo ssp.) differentially selected vegetation characteristics on the first day of egg laying across 164 nesting attempts and 492 travel paths. Vegetation conditions at nest sites were commonly available along movement paths, and visual obstruction did not influence nest success, suggesting nest ...

Assessing spatial ecological patterns of wild turkey relative abundance across North America
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We jointly modeled observational data from camera traps and citizen science to assess the spatially varying effects of land cover and climatic variables on wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) population abundance across the continental United States. The strongest spatial variation in covariate effects was for temperature and precipitation, suggesting ...

A MODIFIED FUNNEL TRAP FOR CAPTURING WILD TURKEYS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 : Trap and transplant programs have been used throughout the United States for decades to establish self‐sustaining wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; hereafter, turkey) populations in areas of extirpation, augment declining populations, and reduce ...

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.We flew UAVs with thermal cameras over roost locations of GPS‐tagged wild turkeys to assess the viability of UAVs as a population survey tool. We trained a deep‐learning model to detect and count turkeys in thermal video, and were able to incorporate environmental variables to accurately estimate the number of wild turkeys sampled.

WINTER ROOST CHARACTERISTICS OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS IN THE ROLLING PLAINS OF TEXAS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010 : The favored roost tree species for Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) in the Texas Rolling Plains is the eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides).
