Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.
