“…Productive activities include agriculture, livestock farming, beekeeping, and coal extraction; also practiced are subsistence hunting and, to a lesser extent, hunting (Weber 2000;Escamilla et al 2000;Reyna-Hurtado and Tanner 2007;Santos-Fita et al 2012;Briceño-Méndez et al 2014;Briceño-Mendez et al 2016).…”

“…The production of these fruits is variable; they are usually available for very short periods of time (ReynaHurtado 2007; Briceño- Méndez et al 2014), contrary to the zapote and ramon fruits, which are available throught a season. For example, zapote can reach peak fruit availability in the dry season during May, while ramon reaches its highest fruit abundance index values in the rainy season (Reyna-Hurtado 2007;Briceño-Méndez et al 2014).…”

“…However, human activities such as hunting and loss of habitat still prevail (Escamilla et al 2000;Santos Fita et al 2012;Briceño-Méndez et al 2014). Therefore, it is imperative to introduce feasible subsistence strategies to the local community (Montiel et al 1999), particularly for being a rural community that is connected to the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve.…”

“…The forests of the Calakmul region include two tree species that are key in the diet of peccaries (Reyna-Hurtado 2007; Perez-Cortez and ReynaHurtado 2008): the ramon, Brosimum alicastrum, and the zapote, Manilkara zapota. These species account for 57.10 % of the total species producing fruits consumed by peccaries on the ground (Briceño-Méndez et al 2014). Given the importance of their fruits as a source of food, these species have also been described as part of the diet of primates such as the spider monkey, Ateles geoffroyi, and the howler monkey, Alouatta pigra (Hernández-Sarabia 2013), as well as of other ungulates such as the tapir, Tapirus bairdii (O' Farrill et al 2006(O' Farrill et al , 2011 and the temazates deer, Mazama temama and M. pandora (Weber 2008;González-Zamora et al 2009).…”

The white-lipped peccary (Tayassu peccari) and the collared peccary (Dicotyles tajacu) are social ungulates that contribute to tropical forest maintenance, molding the composition of tree species through herbivory and seed dispersal and predation. The fruits of zapote (Manilkara zapota) and ramon (Brosimum alicastrum) trees are important items in the diet of both peccary species. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between the abundance of fruits of Manilkara zapota and Brosimum alicastrum and its relationship with the number of newborns in groups of both peccary species during the rainy and dry season in a tropical forest in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Peccary groups were monitored with ten camera trap stations and through direct observations during the dry season of 2014 (February-May) and the rainy season of 2015 (June -September). To estimate fruit availability, five transects (2 km long) were set at random in forested areas. Several 2-m 2 tree plots were established in each transect to obtain a fruit abundance index. Peccary group size and number of newborns in each season were correlated with fruit abundance. In both species, group size was significantly larger in the dry vs. rainy season (P < 0.001). Offspring were proportionally more abundant during the dry season (P < 0.001). Fruits of M. zapota were more abundant in the dry season and reached the peak availability in May (P < 0.001). Fruits of B. alicastrum were more abundant in the rainy season, reaching the peak availability in September (P < 0.001). For both peccary species, the highest numbers of newborns in individual groups may be attributable, although not specifically, to the abundance of M. zapota fruits during the dry season. In this sense, the groups of both peccary species may depend on the seasonal availability of food of key species, such as the fruits of M. zapota during the dry season. Based on these results, preserving areas in good conservation status is deemed important, as well as reducing tree clearing of species such as zapote and ramon at the study site.El pecarí de labios blancos (Tayassu pecari) y el pecarí de collar (Dicotyles tajacu) son especies de ungulados sociales que contribuyen en al mantenimiento y composición arbórea de los bosques del trópico a través de los procesos de herbivoría, dispersión y depredación de semillas. Los frutos del zapote (Manilkara zapota) y ramón (Brosimum alicastrum) son especies arbóreas importantes en la dieta de ambas especies. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la relación entre la abundancia de frutos de Manilkara zapota y Brosimum alicastrum y su relación con el número de crías en grupos de pecarí de ambas especies durante la estación seca y húmeda de una selva tropical en la Península de Yucatán, México. Se realizó un monitoreo con 10 estaciones de cámaras trampa y observaciones directas de grupos de pecaríes durante la estación seca de 2014 (febrero-mayo) y la estación de lluvias de 2015 (Junio-Septiembre). Para estimar la disponibilidad de frutos, se recor...

Rediscovery of Tayassu pecari (Artiodactyla: Tayassuidae) in the Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Mixto Caño Negro, Costa Rica. The white lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) is a widely distributed Neotropical species that can be found from northern Argentina to southern Mexico. According to the IUCN, the white lipped peccary is vulnerable throughout its distribution range. In Costa Rica their distribution has decreased in 89%, its populations are in danger of extinction and are restricted to a few protected areas. This document presents the details of the first records of the presence of white lipped peccary in the Mixed National Wildlife Refuge of Caño Negro, where it was previously considered to be locally extinct. During 2013, 52 in depth interviews were conducted in several communities near the refuge. Between September and December 2015, eight camera traps were placed in farms close or within the refuge. In ten of the conducted interviews, people confirmed that there is a small population of these animals. Most people believe they live in a high and secluded sector of the refuge known as "Terrón". Of the eight camera traps that were used, two were placed in this sector. One of these cameras registered a pack of white lipped peccary composed of at least eight individuals including adults and juveniles. Local ecological knowledge serves as a complement for technical knowledge and as a guide for planning and focusing efforts during the development of ecological research, such is the case of the present study. The confirmation of the presence of white lipped peccary is a finding of great importance since it can serve to increase the conservation measures that are applied in the refuge.
