Merriam's, Rio Grande, and Gould's are western races, and have whiter feather markings and shorter legs than do eastern subspecies. Today the range of the wild turkey is larger than in pre-colonial days, and populations (6 million total) exist in every state except Alaska. Five races or subspecies of the wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) exist in the United States. Previous research on wild turkeys has generally attributed large home-range size to forage abundance or quality. Wild turkeys need to consume significantly more food when the temperatures are cold (about 20 grams/day for each decrease in temperature of 10 degrees F), active forest management throughout the Northeast is critical for turkey survival.
Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) in the Ouachita Highland Province of westcentral Arkansas have some of the largest reported home ranges for this subspecies.
