Agroindustrial landscapes and white-lipped peccary habitat use in the Cerrado of Brazil.

This document discusses the habitat use and selection of white-lipped peccaries in the Cerrado biome of Brazil. The study found that the peccaries prefer corn plantations and gallery forests as habitats, and they tend to feed on corn crops in agricultural fields, leading to conflicts with landowners. The document also presents new records of white-lipped peccaries in altered landscapes of the Brazilian Midwest, indicating a potential return of the species to the region. However, the level of anthropization in the landscape may pose long-term challenges for the survival of the species. [Extracted from the article]
