The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Vegetation Recovery 16 Years after Feral Pig Removal from a Wet Hawaiian Forest (2012, background): “Although excluding feral pigs can have a positive effect on native vegetation (Loh & Tunison 1999, Ickes et al. 2001, Busby et al. 2010), it may also lead to unexpected changes in community structure.”
CTFS‐ForestGEO: a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (2015, background): “Large impacts of mammalian herbivores have also been found in an exclosure study adjacent to the Pasoh plot site in Malaysia (Ickes et al., 2001), where native pigs (Sus scrofa) have a dramatic effect on tree recruitment.”
Feral swine damage and damage management in forested ecosystems. (2009, background): “For example feral swine damage rain forests of the Pasoh Forest Reserve in Peninsular Malaysia, by reducing recruitment and growth of saplings (Ickes et al., 2001, 2003, 2005) and increasing the occurrence of the invasive shrub Clidemia hirta (Peters, 2001).”
Experimental test of the impacts of feral hogs on forest dynamics and processes in the southeastern US (2009, unknown): “The only study we are aware of that measured the effects of hogs on mortality of saplings directly was in the native range and hogs increased sapling mortality (Ickes et al., 2001).”
