Conteúdo: | The feral pig has been considered a threat to peccary conservation in the Pantanal, often reaching high abundance (?5 ind. km?2) (Desbiez et al. 2010, Oliveira-Santos 2009). However, the failure to demonstrate a negative association between feral pig and the two peccary species, in this study, suggests that interference competitionwas absent at this temporal and spatial scale, even during a period of severe scarcity of water and food. Although the invasive pig is widespread on the landscape, the two peccary species maintain densities as high (4?6 ind. km?2) as those recorded in Amazonian areas free of hunting and feral pig (Desbiez et al. 2010, Oliveira-Santos 2009), corroborating our findings that the presence of pigs does not appear to have a negative impact on the two peccary species.
