What Ecological and Anthropogenic Factors Affect Group Size in White‐lipped Peccaries (Tayassu pecari)?

2016-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Group living among ungulates has evolved mainly in species living in open habitats, such as grasslands and savannas, whereas in the forest, few ungulate species form groups and these tend to be small. Therefore, the white‐lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari), a Neotropical ungulate listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, represents an almost unique social occurrence as it lives in large and cohesive groups, yet it inhabits d...
