To study how wildlife perceive recreational users, we studied the habitat selection of a human commensalist, the collared peccary (Pecari tajacu (Linnaeus, 1758)). We measured peccary activity patterns in a high-human-activity area (Tumamoc Hill Desert Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona) using a landscape of fear analysis. We examined whether the perception of risk from human activity interacted with the anti-predator mechanisms of local plant species, in both chemical (tannin) and mechanical (thorns). The peccaries avoided food stations near a hiking trail. The population foraged less near houses, i.e. moderate human activity, than in the perceived safety of a small wadi. Plant defense treatments impacted the harvesting of food only in the safe zone, suggesting that risk trumps food selectivity. The strong effect of the hiking trail on habitat selection in this disturbance-loving species is an indicator of a much larger impact on sensitive species in conservation areas.

“…Indeed, we observed a decrease in locomotor activity in the spontaneous alternation test after exposure to adult chronic stress and an increase in exploratory behavior in the learning phases of the object/context mismatch test after both juvenile and adult stress. Chronic-stress-induced hypoactivity in an unfamiliar environment, as the one we noticed in the spontaneous alternation test, has been previously observed in rodents and has been interpreted as anxiety-like behavior [42,43]. We would need to use behavioral assays specific to the measure of anxiety-like behavior in mice (i.e.…”

“…First, we would like to emphasize that the stress protocol used in Saul et al (2012) is different (i.e., type of stressors and intensity) from ours. This difference is part of the rationale that led us to conduct a systematic study which allows a comparison of different developmental time points, in order to examine whether there is a unique hyper-sensitive period for the exposure to stress.…”
