Wild hogs in Texas damage property but may increase plant diversity by spreading seeds, prompting calls for balanced management over eradication.
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.
Researchers suggest their foraging helps enhance plant life in invaded areas, cautioning against widespread eradication that could disrupt ecosystems.
While their destructive behavior remains a serious concern, especially in East Texas, the study calls for balanced management rather than complete elimination.
