ROOSTING BEHAVIOR OF MALE EASTERN AND RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 2015, Issue S1, Page 175-185, January 2015., 2015
Abstract: 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 researchers. We quantified various characteristics of roosting behavior, including numbers of

Selective Herbicides for Cultivation of Eucalyptus urograndis Clones

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Competition control is essential for successful eucalyptus plantation establishment, yet few selective herbicides have been identified. Five herbicides, flumioxazin, imazamox, imazapic, oxyfluorfen, and sulfometuron methyl, were evaluated for selective weed control in the establishment of genetically modified frost tolerant Eucalyptus urograndis clones.

Tests of an additive harvest mortality model for northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus harvest management in Texas, USA

Wildlife Biology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 12-18, March 2013., 2013
We evaluated the application of using an additive harvest mortality model (AHMM) as a harvest management strategy for northern bobwhites Colinus virginianus during the 2007/08 and 2008/09 hunting seasons in two ecoregions of Texas: the Rolling Plains (RP) and the South Texas Plains (STP). We collected field data on three study sites/ecoregion (of 400‐1,

Changes in Herbaceous Species Composition in the Absence of Disturbance in a Cenchrus biflorus Roxb. Invaded Area in Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
A‐nine year study was carried out to investigate changes in herbaceous species composition in an area invaded by Cenchrus biflorus Roxb, an exotic invader grass species. The study ensued termination of livestock and human activities in the area when residents of the area were relocated to another area.

Extensively harvested hay contaminated with common windgrass induced an ulcerative stomatitis–gingivitis outbreak in horses

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page e67-e70, April 2025.
Summary After starting feeding on a new batch of hay, 29 out of 33 horses showed clinical signs of oral ulcerative and bleeding papules and mucous membrane erythema of the gingiva of the mandible within 2–3 days. The results of the complete blood cell count and biochemistry analysis did not yield significant findings in relation to horses affected by ...

PREDATOR COMMUNITY AND RESEARCHER‐INDUCED IMPACTS ON NEST SUCCESS OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS IN TEXAS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 2010, Issue S1, Page 235-242, January 2010., 2010
Abstract: Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) populations in Texas appear to be declining, and poor nest success could be contributing to the decline. Techniques to monitor nest success and predator impacts are necessary to make sound conservation decisions.

DNA metabarcoding complements but does not replace direct observations of penguin predation by corvids

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 3, Page 951-970, July 2024.
Establishing methods that allow for more focused management of wildlife under predator pressure may increase the efficiency of managing problematic predators. Non‐invasive dietary analysis and identification of conservation‐sensitive prey in the diet of ‘culprit’ predator individuals could help to facilitate this and is worthy of exploration.
