DISTINGUISHING INDIVIDUAL MALE WILD TURKEYS BY DISCRIMINATION OF VOCALIZATIONS
Abstract: Collection of data for census and distribution of a state endangered subspecies of Gould's wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana) has been a major problem. Because capture was not allowed, radio‐telemetry or tagging techniques could not be used. Therefore, bioacoustical analysis w...

| description | Abstract: Collection of data for census and distribution of a state endangered subspecies of Gould's wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana) has been a major problem. Because capture was not allowed, radio‐telemetry or tagging techniques could not be used. Therefore, bioacoustical analysis was developed using sound equipment and personal computer to identify individual gobblers. Individual gobblers were identified during 1987‐89. We can determine census and distribution data without using more costly observer teams. Subspecies differentiation between Merriam's (M. g. merriami), Rio Grande (M. g. intermedia), and Gould's was determined. We discovered that the initial portion of gobbles of 3 subspecies were of different frequencies. |
