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.

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 · We demonstrate that the late Pleistocene loss of megafauna was pervasive and left legacies detectable within the modern atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Moreover, the ecological roles that extinct and modern megafauna play in the Earth system are not replicated by smaller-bodied animals.
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 impact...
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...
We examine consequences of the terminal-Pleistocene megafauna extinction on a mammal community from the Edwards Plateau, Texas by characterizing changes in animal body size and dietary isotopic niche before and after the event.
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.
