16. Abstrlct (Limit: 200 worm)<br />
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habita t<br />
Suitabil t ty Index (HSI) model for the <strong>eastern</strong> <strong>wild</strong> <strong>turkey</strong> U~el eagris gallopavo<br />
sylvestris). The model consol idates <strong>habitat</strong> use information into a framework<br />
appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an <strong>index</strong> between 0.0<br />
(unsuitable <strong>habitat</strong>) and 1.0 (optimum <strong>habitat</strong>). HSI <strong>models</strong> are designed to be used<br />
with Habitat Evaluation Procedures previously developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife<br />
Service.<br />
