Description:

From 1968 to 1984, frequencies of color phenotypes of feral swine (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758) were studied at a site in South Carolina, U.S.A. A Chi-square analysis indicated significant changes in these frequencies across time. There was an abrupt decrease in the frequency of spotted animals between the 1976-1977 and 1982-1984 sampling periods. There were no significant differences between the 1968-1969 and 1976-1977 frequencies, and there was no significant change in the frequency of solid white animals over entire study period.
