EP 117 13th Wild Turkey Symposium Pt. 3: Wild Turkey Genetics
Episode 117
Thursday, 11 December, 2025

As we know there is an elevated interest in wild turkey science within the turkey hunting community, we are working to bring you numerous updates and research summaries from the 13th National Wild Turkey Symposium in Kansas City, Missouri. This episode includes conversations with authors or presenters from papers included in the "Wild Turkey Genetics" session: "Role of kinship in sociality of female eastern wild turkeys" — Chamberlain et al. (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1630) "Genetic structuring and within-flock relatedness of eastern wild turkeys" — Watkins et al. (Presented by Chamberlain) (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1622) Additional guests include the NWTF's Ricky Lackey. While we were not able to sit down and have further conversations about the following paper that also was included in the session about wild turkey genetics, please check out the following research paper titled "Investigating the role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across the wild turkey's range" — Beckman et al. (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1625) To view the full symposium agenda, visit www.wildturkeysymposium.org.
