SURVIVAL AND REPRODUCTION OF WILD TURKEY HENS IN CENTRAL ONTARIO
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent success of Eastern Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) reintroductions across southern Ontario has prompted wildlife managers to investigate the potential of extending the northern limit of this subspecies' range. We monitored the survival and reproduction of introduced Wild Turkeys on the Precambrian Shield in central Ontario during 1999–2001. Mean annual survival of 39 radio-tagged hens was 0.288 ± 0.057 SE. Summer and winter survival rates differed between the first and second years of the study. Spring and fall survival rates did not differ significantly between years. Reproductive parameters that characterized the population included a nesting rate of 0.588, mean clutch size of 10.0 eggs/nest, nest success of 0.500, hatching rate of 0.81, hen natality rate of 1.18 females hatched/female, poult survival of 0.54, and fall recruitment of 0.63 juvenile females/breeding hen. Success of the pilot Wild Turkey introduction in central Ontario was compromised by high predation, low numbers of introduced birds, and a prolonged period of deep snow during 2000–2001.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
