Abnormal Eggs of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys on the Edwards Plateau, Texas

open access: yesWilson Journal of Ornithology, 2008
Abstract We studied the reproductive ecology of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) in the Edwards Plateau region, Texas during 2005 and 2006. Runt eggs from a single adult female were observed through three nesting events over 2 years. Mean mass and volume for the runt eggs were 44% of normal Wild Turkey eggs.

The relationship of Rio Grande wild turkey distributions to roads

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2005
Wildlife Society Bulletin 2005, 33(2):745–748 Peer refereed Distance sampling from roads is a common population estimation technique used for many wildlife species (Brennan and Block 1986, DeYoung and Priebe 1987, Borralho et al. 1996, Dahlheim et al. 2000). A critical assumption of the distance sampling technique is that the distribution of animals is

Reproductive Performance of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys

Condor, 1989
Sur deux annees et grâce a des observations directes et a des captures suivies de recensements, le pourcentage de nidification, leur succes et les patterns temporels d'initiation du nid sont evalues pour etudier la dynamique d'une population introduite de Meleagris gallopavo intermedia en milieu ripicole.

Evaluation of Portable Infrared Cameras for Detecting Rio Grande Wild Turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2006
Observing nocturnal, cryptic, highly mobile, or elusive wildlife in the field is difficult. Precise abundance estimates are necessary to make management decisions. Numerous methods have been examined to estimate wild turkey abundance with limited success.

Renesting by Rio Grande Wild Turkeys after Brood Loss

Journal of Wildlife Management, 1993
Although the importance of renesting by wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) after clutch loss has been documented, the contribution to turkey populations of renesting after brood loss is unknown. Consequently, we examined renesting capacity of an introduced Rio Grande wild turkey (M. g.

Poult Adoption and Nest Abandonment by a Female Rio Grande Wild Turkey in Texas

open access: yesThe Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2006
Abstract While evaluating reproductive parameters in Rio Grande Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) in the Edwards Plateau region of Texas, we observed a case of poult adoption and abandonment of an active nest. In wild turkeys, adoption of poults has been described previously, but during our observation the hen also abandoned her nest at a ...

Molecular Surveillance for Lymphoproliferative Disease Virus and Reticuloendotheliosis Virus in Rio Grande Wild Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) in Texas, USA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2022
Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) and lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) are avian retroviruses that can cause neoplastic disease and present with similar pathologies. Lymphoproliferative disease virus has been reported in the Eastern US and states bordering Texas, USA, but has not been previously detected within the state.

Encounter Rates From Road‐Based Surveys of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys in Texas

Journal of Wildlife Management, 2010
ABSTRACT  Traditional index‐based techniques have indicated declines in Rio Grande wild turkey ( Meleagris gallopavo intermedia ; hereafter, wild turkey) populations across much of Texas, USA. However, population indices can be unreliable.
