within the 99% utilization distribution of a female eastern wild turkey
and her initial nest attempt (star) on Peason Ridge Wildlife Management
Area, Louisiana during 2019.
Figure 2. Utilization distributions (99%) for a social group of female
eastern wild turkeys during the 21-day period prior to the first nest
initiation attempt by the presumed dominant female on Peason Ridge
Wildlife Management Area, Louisiana during 2017.
Figure 3. Proportion of female wild turkey ranges that overlapped ≥ 1
other female’s range within their respective social groups during the
21-day period prior to initiation of first nest attempts on Kisatchie
National Forest and Peason Ridge Wildlife Management Area, west-central
Louisiana, USA during 2014-2019.
Figure 4. Range of first nest initiation dates of female eastern wild
turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris ) during 2014-2019 on
Kisatchie National Forest and Peason Ridge Wildlife Management Area,
west-central Louisiana, USA.
Figure 5. Dot plot of the mean number of days between first nest
attempts of female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo
silvestris ) within social groups relative to size of each social group
on Kisatchie National Forest and Peason Ridge WMA, west-central
Louisiana, USA during 2014-2019. Plot suggests that larger social groups
have more synchronous initial nest attempts than smaller groups.
