Oxyspirura turcottei n.sp. from beneath the nictitating membrane of Meleagris gallopavo silvestris of West Virginia is distinguished from other species of the subgenus Oxyspirura (undivided buccal capsule) by its size (males 9.8–13.8 mm long; females 9.6–17.7 mm long), the presence and morphology of the gubernaculum, the presence of three pairs of preanal papillae, no adanal papillae and three pairs of postanal papillae in most specimens, and by its long right and left spicules (215–245 μm and 495–615 μm, respectively).

Home range size, food habits, and roost site selection are described for the Eastern Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) introduced on the Precambrian Shield in central Ontario during the winters 1999 and 2000. Monthly home range size was correlated primarily to snow depth, although it was also likely associated to other factors, including food availability and/or roost site availability. Ferns and allies were used more than available, whereas monocots were used less than expected. Roost site-selection was primarily influenced by tree height. If the Eastern Wild Turkey is to expand its northern range in Ontario, winter food and roost site availability may be the primary determinants for successful introductions.
