Feral pigs in Namadgi National Park, Australia: dynamics, impacts and management

TL;DR: This review found that most of the published literature examines boar effects in their introduced range and little is available from the native distribution, and identified research gaps and urged the need to lower wild boar densities.

TL;DR: It is concluded that recreational hunting is insufficient to limit wild boar population growth and that the relative impact of hunting onWild boar mortality had decreased, and more human-wild boar conflicts are expected unless this trend is reversed.

TL;DR: The analysis of mean damage frequency among territories and changes in damage frequency within territories from 1994 to 1996 showed that only hunting reduced damage by wild boars, and it is suggested that control efforts and funds be reconsidered.

TL;DR: The range of invasive feral swine in the United States has expanded from 17 to 38 states over the past 30 years, and the swine’s generalist diet combined with high population densities can complicate efforts to conserve.

TL;DR: This book discusses ecosystem dynamics under Changing Climates, which includes community dynamics at the community level, and factors that limit Distributions, which limit the amount of variation in population size.
