Figure 1. Straight-line distance (km) between the centroid (black dot) 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.
