Understanding wildlife movement ecology is crucial for comprehending populationdynamics, ecological processes, and behavioral patterns. The restoration of the wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo spp.) across North America stands as one of the most successful conservation efforts following the species near extinction in the early 1900s. However, productivity and abundance have declined across various portions of their range. I investigated prospecting behaviors during laying and the landcover factors influencing them. I found that nest fate was positively affected by the number of patches a female visited during incubation recesses. Females selected for areas nearer to the nest site, secondary roads, hardwood and mixed pine-hardwood forests, water bodies, and shrub/scrub lands. Conversely, they avoided pine forests and open, treeless areas. Another aspect of my research delved into how state-dependent recursive movements influenced resource selection for wild turkey broods as they aged. Ground roosting broods in a restricted state spent less time in mixed pine-hardwoods and more time in areas with denser vegetation. Tree-roosting broods selected areas closer to shrub/scrub landcover types and those with higher vegetation density, less time in mixed pine-hardwoods, but these broods selected areas with greater vegetation density. Additionally, I calculated site fidelity, identified hub and satellite roost sites, and assessed landscape features selected at roosting areas during different reproductive phases. I found a scale-free network structure emerged in roosting behavior, with a small percentage of hub roost sites acting as connectors between satellite roost sites within the network. Female wild turkeys consistently selected roost areas at lower elevations with greater topographic ruggedness. The probability of being a hub roost was greater in areas nearer to secondary roads, water bodies, and open treeless areas. Furthermore, I observed that female survival throughout the breeding season varied. Daily survival probability was lower during incubation and brooding phases, but higher for non-nesting females, demonstrating a clear survival consequence to females who are reproductively active.
