PATTERNS OF CAPTURE‐RELATED MORTALITY IN RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005 : 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.

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF FEMALE RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS DURING THE REPRODUCTIVE SEASON [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005 : 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.

COMPARATIVE SURVIVAL AND REPRODUCTION OF SYMPATRIC EASTERN AND RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY FEMALES IN NORTHEASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2000 : Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) were introduced into northeastern South Dakota in the early 1970s, flourished until the mid 1980s, and then declined to

MOVEMENT, FIDELITY AND DISPERSAL OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005 : 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.

UTILITY OF POULT‐HEN COUNTS TO INDEX PRODUCTIVITY OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005 : 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 ...

MALE RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY HABITAT CHARACTERISTICS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS [PDF]
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005 : 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 ...

Do movement behaviors identify reproductive habitat sampling for wild turkeys? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 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.

Genome Sequence of Fowlpox Virus-Integrated Reticuloendotheliosis Virus from a Rio Grande Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia). [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2022 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.

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.
