0 an animal that looks similar to a pig, found in the southwestern US and in Central and South America: --
Because peccaries forage in groups, resource patches are quickly depleted, obliging herds to forage over large areas.
The lowest strand of barbed wire was low enough to block peccaries, but high enough to allow smaller seed predators to enter.
Only the distal end of endocarps cracked by white-lipped peccaries were counted.
White-lipped peccaries used this route repeatedly during the study period, and cracked endocarps at the same trees over and over again as they passed through.
For white-lipped peccaries, fruit availability was not adequately measured by the two transects.
Large seed arrays probably release more chemical cues, which are readily detected by macrosmatic peccaries.
Distribution of palm fruits on a rain-forest floor: why white-lipped peccaries forage near objects.
Moreover, according to the hit-or-miss principle, peccary foraging should result in greater between-site variance than seed removal by rodents.
