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

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

Infectious Disease Survey of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys in the Edwards Plateau of Texas [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2002 State wildlife agencies have translocated thousands of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) since the 1930s to reestablish this species. Because of threats to the domestic poultry industry and wild birds, screening for selected infectious agents has become routine since the early 1980s.

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.

LANDSCAPE METRICS RELATED TO RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY WINTER ROOSTS IN SOUTH TEXAS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010 : Roost sites may be a limiting factor for Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) distribution. Because the landscape context of roost sites may influence use of these sites, it is important to understand roost‐habitat characteristics ...
