Abstrakt: Thirty-one epigeic invertebrate taxa (66%) showed a decrease in their frequency of occurrence, mean abundance, or both, at sites with high levels of pig damage, relative to sites with low levels of pig damage. Certain families of spiders, beetles, snails, and freshwater crabs were among the taxa more prevalent when pig damage was low, whereas none of those taxa was more prevalent when pig damage was high.
