WV&VA Wild Turkey Model



Wild Turkey Population Dynamics Model

Funding for a population dynamic study and for the creation of this web site was contributed by:
National Wild Turkey Federation
and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Federal Aid.

This project was a collaborative effort between:
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries,
The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources,
The North Carolina Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit (NCSU),

Welcome to the homepage for the WV&VA Wild Turkey Model. This page will allow you to select the model version that you would like to run--either Deterministic or Stochastic. Both model versions will base calculations on parameter values that you enter for per-capita recruitment and cause specific survival rates. The main distinction between the two models is that parameter values are constant in the Deterministic version (thus you provide one number--your best "guesstimate"--for each parameter) whereas the Stochastic version incorporates variability (thus you provide a range which you believe is likely to contain the actual value of each parameter).
For more detailed information about the model, please refer to our online manual.
