Density-dependent harvest modeling for the eastern wild turkey
Article Abstract:
An alternative model is developed that has incorporated both nonlinear density-dependence and stochastic density-independent effects on wild turkey populations (Meleagris gallopavo). The variability in population growth and harvest rates has increased uncertainty in spring and fall harvests and the probability of overharvesting annual yield, where growth rate variation has the strongest effect.

Evaluation of accuracy and precision of Downing population reconstruction
Article Abstract:
The accuracy and precision of Downing population reconstruction technique in estimating population abundance and trends is examined. The method is a potentially effective tool for managing harvested species with high harvest rates and low natural mortality.
