Early nest initiation and vegetation density enhance nest survival in Wild Turkeys
<p>The theory of adaptive habitat selection suggests resource selection by animals should reflect underlying quality, such that individual selection confers an adaptive advantage via increased fitness. Using resource selection functions and nest survival models, we demonstrated that visual obstruction at the nest site was adaptively significant but timing of nest initiation had the greatest effect on nest survival for eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris). Predation risk is a selective pressure, and if individuals can perceive predation risk, they may respond by altering selection of nest site characteristics based on prior experience. We evaluated patterns in nest site selection of 387 wild turkeys and consequences of selection on reproductive success across the southeastern United States from 2014-2019. We monitored 549 nest sites and found that nest initiation date had the strongest effect on daily nest survival rates, wherein adult females at our earliest nest initiation date were ~ 4 times more likely to successfully nest than females at our latest nest initiation dates. Selection of nest sites with greater visual obstruction also increased daily nest survival rates as females were 1.17 (1.100 – 1.234; 95% CI) and 1.37 (1.258 – 1.486; 95% CI) times more likely to select sites for every 10 cm increase in visual obstruction and maximum vegetation height, respectively. Collectively, our results indicate that nest initiation date is likely the critical parameter driving wild turkey nest success, whereas vegetative conditions play a lesser role influencing nest success. Females nesting earlier may be in better body condition and show increased nest attentiveness, which may mediate nest success more than vegetation conditions around nest sites. Our work indicates that increasing the reproductive success of wild turkeys may hinge on females being able to nest as early as possible within the reproductive season.</p>
Wild Plants Used as Vegetables by Transhumant People Around the Georgia–Turkey Border in the Western Lesser Caucasus
<p> Recent ethnobotanical studies in the Caucasus, mainly in Georgia, reveal the</p> <p>significant ethnobotanical knowledge of local people related to wild edible plants.</p> <p>However, few studies have been conducted in the Lesser Caucasus, West Georgia,</p> <p>and the Turkish Caucasus. is study aims to represent and evaluate the cultural</p> <p>importance of wild vegetable plants and their patterns of use along the</p> <p>Georgia–Turkey border. During the transhumance period in the summers of 2017</p> <p>and 2018, 104 participants (65 in Turkey and 39 in Georgia) were interviewed</p> <p>using a semistructured questionnaire. e Cultural Importance Index and</p> <p>Relative Frequency of Citation were used to compare the relative importance of</p> <p>species in each region. e use of 83 wild plant species from 23 plant families as</p> <p>vegetables was documented, with 45 species recorded in Georgia and 72 species in</p> <p>Turkey. One-third of the recorded wild plant species and 52 use instances out of</p> <p>122 species-use combinations were shared on both sides of the border. Women</p> <p>and men had mentioned almost the same number of species, and there was a</p> <p>nonsignificant correlation between plant knowledge and age. Although there</p> <p>were no significant differences in the plant parts used, the way people used plants</p> <p>as vegetables varied significantly across the border. Considering the floral</p> <p>similarity across the border, the number of species used in common and shared</p> <p>vegetable plant knowledge was quite low. ere is not a significant difference</p> <p>between the two countries in terms of the most frequently cited and culturally</p> <p>important species (Rumex, Urtica, and Polygonum spp.). However, the</p> <p>recognition of some of the most important shared species (Heracleum,</p> <p>Chaerophyllum, Arctium, and Campanula spp.) diverged significantly in different</p> <p>administrative regions.</p>
Vegetation cover and biodiversity reduce parasite infection in wild hosts across ecological levels and scales
<p><span>Land use changes and biodiversity loss critically disrupt ecosystem functioning and are major drivers of infectious disease outbreaks. <em>Trypanosoma</em> <em>cruzi</em>, the agent of Chagas disease, is a multi-host parasite whose epidemiology has changed due to the expansion of anthropogenic activities over natural areas. We aimed to understand the ecological processes increasing parasite prevalence at the individual, the community and the landscape levels using the largest database on small mammal infection by <em>T. cruzi</em> in Brazil. We applied machine learning techniques and structural equation models to show that allometric traits and the relative abundance of rodents in the community were important predictors of infection risk, followed by variables associated with the landscape environmental </span><span>quality</span><span>. Natural vegetation cover change and the taxonomic and functional dimensions of biodiversity indirectly reduced infection through its effect on the abundance distribution and composition of host communities. According to our findings, approaches to biodiversity conservation and restoration based on the integration of social inclusion and human welfare would contribute to regulating the prevalence of <em>T. cruzi</em> in wild hosts, which may reduce overall transmission risk.</span></p>
