A review of wild boar Sus scrofa diet and factors affecting food selection in native and introduced ranges (2014, background): “Pavlov P, Hone J (1982) The behaviour of feral pigs, Sus scrofa, in flocks of lambing ewes.”
Current distribution of invasive feral pigs in Brazil: economic impacts and ecological uncertainty (2015, unknown): “There is a perception that the harmful effects of feral pigs are associated to high densities in both native and introduced ranges (Hone, 2002; Ickes, 2001), suggesting a threshold of pig densities above which they become noxious.”
Wildlife farming: an alternative to unsustainable hunting and deforestation in Neotropical forests? (2011, background): “These impacts include changes in vegetation and soil characteristics (Hone 2002; Tierney and Cushman 2006; Nogueira-Filho et al. 2009).”
The Natural Behaviour of the Pig (2009, background): “More recently, feral pigs quickly became established in the Namadgi National Park in South Eastern Australia following a vehicle accident in 1959 (Hone, 2002).”
The environmental impact of wild boar (2004, background): “Population density can vary from 0.2 to 43 animals / km2, and exhibit high interannual variation (Kozlo 1975, Jedrzejewska et al. 1994, Hone 2002).”
EFFICACY OF HUNTING, FEEDING, AND FENCING TO REDUCE CROP DAMAGE BY WILD BOARS (2004, background): “…(2) regulating the impact of wild boars on plant diversity, vegetation community, and regeneration patterns in natural habitats (Welander 2000, Hone 2002, Kuiters and Slim 2002); (3) decisions whether to reintroduce wild boars (Leaper et al. 1999); and (4) and the attitude of local people…”
Consequences Associated with the Recent Range Expansion of Nonnative Feral Swine (2014, background): “Feral swine in Queensland, Australia, were documented to have consumed more than 20 metric tons of sugarcane per year (Tisdell 1982).”
Diet of the wild boar in the French Alps. (2004, background): “In particular, the feeding behaviour of wild boars (e.g., rooting in prairies) might lead to economic (costs of meadow restoration, costs of hay harvesting, or visual impact) and biological (influences on biodiversity and soil erosion) problems (Baubet 1998, Hone 2002).”
Impacts and management of wild pigs Sus scrofa in Australia (2014, background): “Observational studies suggest that pigs may alter the structure and composition of vegetation communities by curtailing plant recruitment and survival through rooting and trampling (Hone 2002); depleting populations of vulnerable species through selective feeding (Melzer et al.”
