This study is the first to clearly show a change in the overall temporal activity patterns of white-lipped peccaries in response to temperature. @Biotropica
Our first paper @Mammalogists indicated that wlp reduced activity as temperatures increased. @neotrop_mammals@MNeotropical
Whitelippedpeccaries enter a town, and we are very proud of the residents' behavior of @BodoquenaMSofc, who kept calm and maintained their distance. The herd went back into the forest peacefully, and no one was harmed.

Do you know that white-lipped peccaries represent the largest mammalian biomass in neotropical forests?. That's because their unit is not 1 individual - it's a united herd- that can reach more than 100 individuals. @MNeotropical@neotrop_mammals@Mammalogists@Biotropica

92% of all land- & resource-related murders in Brazil between 1985 and 2018 — some 1,790 in total, most of them in the Amazon — resulted in no arrest or trial.
