德克萨斯州的野猪破坏财产,但可能会通过播种增加植物多样性,促使人们呼吁对根除工作进行均衡管理。
Wild hogs in Texas damage property but may increase plant diversity by spreading seeds, prompting calls for balanced management over eradication.
丹麦奥胡斯大学的一项新研究发现,得克萨斯州的野猪尽管破坏财产和伤害牲畜造成估计25亿美元的损失,但也可能通过种子的传播来增加植物多样性。
A new study from Aarhus University in Denmark finds that wild hogs in Texas, despite causing an estimated $2.5 billion in damage by destroying property and harming livestock, may also boost plant diversity by spreading seeds through their movement.
研究人员表示,他们的繁殖有助于改善被入侵地区的植物生命,告诫人们不要广泛根除可能破坏生态系统的植物。
Researchers suggest their foraging helps enhance plant life in invaded areas, cautioning against widespread eradication that could disrupt ecosystems.
虽然他们的破坏性行为仍然令人严重关切,特别是在东得克萨斯州,但研究报告呼吁实行平衡的管理,而不是完全消除。
While their destructive behavior remains a serious concern, especially in East Texas, the study calls for balanced management rather than complete elimination.
