LACK OF COTTONWOOD REGENERATION IN THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS: IMPLICATIONS FOR WILD TURKEYS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010
: The presence of trees is an important limiting factor for wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) throughout arid and semiarid portions of their range. Long‐term changes in local tree populations likely will impact local wild turkey populations. Cottonwoods

Wild turkey roost selection is more consistently associated with tree traits than microclimate

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Animals must cope with a range of climatic conditions across seasons, and they can accomplish this by selecting habitats that are favourable for thermoregulation. Sheltering from environmental conditions can be particularly important for reducing energetic costs when animals are inactive, but the influence of microclimate on the fine‐scale selection of

CHRONOLOGY OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY FLOCKING BEHAVIOR IN THE TEXAS ROLLING PLAINS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010
: Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) winter flocks are often >200 birds on the roost. Evaluations of winter flock congregation timing and potential climatic correlates that may influence this behavior are lacking.

Characterization, Composition, and Bioactive Potential of Assa‐Peixe (Vernonia sp.) Honey

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In this study, pollen content, physicochemical parameters, quantification of phenolics and flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, UV spectrum scan, and substance identification by LC‐HRMS were evaluated in Assa‐peixe honey. The pollen content analysis confirmed 100% Vernonia sp. pollen, characterizing it as monofloral.

Characterization of Potential Risk Pathways for African Swine Fever Introduction Into Brazil

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF) poses a serious threat to global swine production, and its reintroduction into Brazil, the world’s third‐largest pork exporter, would have severe socioeconomic consequences. This study characterized the potential risk pathways for ASF introduction in Brazil by analyzing three key aspects: seizure of informally imported animal ...

The Notorious P.I.G.: wild pigs are not primary predators of wild turkey nests

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Considerable attention has been focused on the potential impacts of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) on wild turkey demography. We used the most spatially and temporally comprehensive dataset available on the nesting ecology of wild turkeys to demonstrate that wild pigs are not primary nest predators of wild turkeys.
