چکیده
Aims: To estimate the population density of Pecari tajacu, determine distribution pattern this in sampling sites, habitat preference and evaluate sustainability harvest three-year period.
 Study Design: Population study collared peccaries wild, descriptive, vertical municipality Tzucacab, Yucatan, Mexico, during years 2003-2004, 2007-2008 2008-2009.
 Methodology: Seven linear transects 5 km each were installed randomly 2003-2004 18 year from 2007 to 2009. The was made by direct sighting counting footprints same transects. comparison densities with footprints’ method analysis variance t-student for samples paired method. analyzed standardized Morisita index; Bonferroni intervals model applied sustainability.
 Results: decreased significantly (P < 0.01) footprints´ 2003-04 2007-09, 1.16 0.26 animals/km2 respectively, 1.87 1.78 animals/km2, 2007-08 without significant difference = 0.05); In 2008-09 there only one record. Local populations are distributed clusters prefer acahual between 2008-09. records mainly limits Tzucacab surroundings state Quintana Roo. Harvest indices within values but show a tendency increase as progress.
 Conclusion: vulnerability, if trend index increases progressively.

Ovarian folliculogenesis in collared peccary, Pecari tajacu (Artiodactyla: Tayassuidae).
The sustainability and production of collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) has been studied in the last few years; however, further information on its reproduction is necessary for breeding systems success. Understanding folliculogenesis aspects will contribute to effective reproductive biotechniques, which are useful in the preservation and production of wildlife. The aim of this study was-to evalu...
متن کاملEvaluation of genetic variability in the collared peccary Pecari tajacu and the white-lipped peccary Tayassu pecari by microsatellite markers
In this study, the microsatellite technique was used to evaluate the genetic variability in populations of collared and white-lipped peccaries kept in captivity. Six primers developed for domestic pigs were used and amplified in both species. They revealed the presence of five polymorphic loci and one monomorphic locus. The polymorphic loci included 4 of the 16 alleles in collared peccaries, an...
متن کاملHistomorphometrical and proliferative aspects of placenta and uterus of the collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu).
The histomorphometric and proliferative characteristics of the collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu) placenta and uterus were analyzed. The material was examined by standard histological techniques and histochemistry (PAS, Perls and Alcian Blue pH 0.5 and 2.5%) and the cellular proliferation by AgNORs and flow cytometry. All the analyzed morphometric variables differed between pregnant and non-preg...
متن کاملChromosome comparison between populations of the collared peccary, Tayassu tajacu, raised in captivity.
The collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu) is widely distributed over the American continent, being found from the south of the USA to the north of Argentina. In Brazil, it is spread all over the country, being one of the potential species to be raised in captivity. Therefore, the cytogenetic techniques could be a potential tool for reproductive monitoring of animals raised in captivity, mainly when...

Ruminants are characterized by an efficient particle-sorting mechanism in the forestomach (FRST) followed by selective rechewing of large food particles. For the nonruminating foregut fermenter pygmy hippo it was demonstrated that large particles are excreted as fast as, or faster than, the small particles. The same has been suggested for other nonruminating foregut fermenters. We determined th...
