Primer registro de una población de cerdos asilvestrados en el área de la Laguna de Términos, Campeche, México

Abstract

We presented the first report of an introduced population of wild pigs in southeastern Mexico, specifically in Southwestern Laguna de Términos, Campeche. Using camera traps, we obtained 14 photographic records of wild pigs in 3 different sites during 2012 and 2013. The records included males, females and females with piglets. It is necessary to determine the effects on the local biodiversity of the presence of a wild pig population in order to determine the actions to manage this species on the region.
