Wild Turkey Science - Density-dependence in upland game birds | #132
from Natural Resources University
What is density-dependence and could it be driving the patterns we're seeing in declining populations? Dr. Mark McConnell joins Marcus and Will to pull knowledge from research on density-dependence in upland game bird species and how these factors may affect wild turkey populations.
