22 mar 2024 · Across the last ~50,000 years (the late Quaternary) terrestrial vertebrate faunas have experienced severe losses of large species (megafauna), with most extinctions occurring in the Late Pleistocene and Early to Middle Holocene.

14 lut 2023 · Thus, it is probable that the widespread extinction of herbivorous megafauna in the late Pleistocene influenced atmospheric gas exchange and global climate. Several authors have calculated the enteric production of methane by megafauna at the terminal Pleistocene.
2 cze 2020 · Hence, these data suggest that human hunting of large mammals, likely together with climate change at the end of the Pleistocene, led to the extinction of megafauna in North America.
24 lis 2023 · The worldwide extinction of megafauna during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene is evident from the fossil record, with dominant theories suggesting a climate, human or combined...
16 lut 2021 · The disappearance of many North American megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene is a contentious topic. While the proposed causes for megafaunal extinction are varied, most researchers fall...
22 mar 2017 · We found that climate warming was the predominant driver of total extinction of mammoths and rhinos in cold zones from the Late Pleistocene to Holocene, while human impacts were the predominant driver of total extinction of rhinos (taxa living in the cold zones) and horse extinctions in the Anthropocene and Holocene.
Here, we provide the first long-term analysis of the importance of habitat fragmentation (as defined by patch size, number and degree of isolation) to species extinction, using the dense fossil record of Late Pleistocene large mammals of Eurasia and fine resolution paleoclimatic data.
