ABSTRACT Despite research linking peccary wallows to increased amphibian biodiversity in wet tropical forests in Amazonia, wallow use by the broader vertebrate community has been overlooked.We investigated collared peccary (Pecari (Dicotyles) tajacu) activity patterns at wallows and used multiple detection methods to assess wallow use by Portable O
