ABSTRACT
Interactions between sympatric species influence the ecology and behaviour of individuals species. Invasive can often alter community dynamics by generating novel pressures that native are less able to respond to. The scope these may depend on life history invasive We used remote camera traps investigate how mammals’ spatiotemporal activity patterns were altered presence wild pig ( Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758). By analyzing daily implementing Cox proportional hazard models, our results suggest (a) temporal partitioning play a role in ameliorating competition mammals pigs (b) be avoiding prolonging their return times particular sites. provide an example for monitoring ecological changes create within ecosystems as they become more abundant non-traditional ranges.
