Ethogram and time-activity budget of the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu, Tayassuidae): implications for husbandry and welfare

Abstract

The JBBA has an outstandingly streamlined submissions process, the reviewers comments have been constructive and valuable, and it is outstandingly well produced, presented and promulgated. It is in my opinion the leading journal for blockchain research and I expect it to maintain that distinction under the direction of its forward-looking leadership team.

Genetic diversity and relatedness in captive collared peccaries Dicotyles tajacu (Linnaeus, 1758) (Cetartiodactyla: Tayassuidae) estimated by microsatellite genotyping using high‐throughput sequencing: Implications for their conservation and reintroduction

“…The level of endangering level is thought to vary between regions as a result of the impact of human activities and the current status of forest fragmentation. This study, together with the behavioral (da Silva et al, 2020; Faria et al, 2018, 2020, 2022), parasitological, and ethnozoological studies, making up the Project “ Catetos ”, provides a foundation for the development of a management model for the reintroduction of captive populations of D. tajacu . The results presented in this study demonstrate that the 11th generation of captive‐born collared peccaries has high rates of genetic diversity, with a genetic composition adequate for reintroduction into the wild.…”

“…Until data collection for this study, the farm had a population of approximately 70 collared peccaries. However, due to logistical, space, and funding problems, only 20 individuals were acquired for the behavioral (Faria et al, 2018, 2020, 2022; Silva et al, 2020), parasitological, and ethnozoological studies, which together with this study compose the Project “ Catetos ”, a long‐term project aiming the conservation of collared peccaries in the state of Minas Gerais.…”
