Wild pigs as sentinels for hard ticks: A case study from south-central Florida [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018
As a result of shifts in the habitable range of ticks due to climate change and the ongoing threat of exotic tick species introductions, efficient surveillance tools for these pests and disease vectors are needed.

Evaluating potential sources of invasive wild pigs in Ontario [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are considered one of the most damaging species globally, and once they become established in an area, they are notoriously difficult to eliminate.

Wild pigs impact reproductive season movements and space use of wild turkeys [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Background Impacts of invasive species on the movements and space use of native fauna have potential implications during the reproductive period. Over the last three decades, native wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) have experienced a notable decline in

Impacts of Wild Pigs on Space Use and Movements of Wild Turkeys During Autumn and Winter [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) affect native flora and fauna in the areas they invade, including ground‐nesting birds. While results from camera‐based studies have suggested that wild pigs could spatiotemporally impact resource selection of wild turkeys ...

Invasive Wild Pigs as Primary Nest Predators for Wild Turkeys. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
AbstractDepredation of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nests is a leading cause of reduced recruitment for the recovering and iconic game species. Invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are known to depredate nests, and have been expanding throughout the distributed range of wild turkeys in North America. We sought to gain better insight on the magnitude of

DNA metabarcoding reveals consumption of diverse community of amphibians by invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) in the southeastern United States [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are one of the most widespread, destructive vertebrate species globally. Their success can largely be attributed to their generalist diets, which are dominated by plant material but also include diverse animal taxa.
