Journal ArticleDOI

Anthony D. Barnosky,Nicholas J. Matzke,Susumu Tomiya,Susumu Tomiya,Guinevere O. U. Wogan,Guinevere O. U. Wogan,Brian Swartz,Tiago B. Quental,Tiago B. Quental,Charles R. Marshall,Jenny L. McGuire,Emily L. Lindsey,Kaitlin C. Maguire,Ben Mersey,Elizabeth A Ferrer +14 more
TL;DR: Differences between fossil and modern data and the addition of recently available palaeontological information influence understanding of the current extinction crisis, and results confirm that current extinction rates are higher than would be expected from the fossil record.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Conservation efforts are currently in a state of transition, with active debate about the relative importance of preserving historical landscapes with minimal human impact on one end of the ideological spectrum versus manipulating novel ecosystems that result from human activities on the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of Quaternary megafaunal extinction in South America in relation to human arrival and climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated 138 published radiocarbon dates for megafauna and 402 published dates for early (>8000-BP) South American archaeological sites and found that most of the dates are interpreted as recording the last time taxa were abundant on the landscape, rather than extinction per se.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variable impact of late-Quaternary megafaunal extinction in causing ecological state shifts in North and South America
Anthony D. Barnosky,Emily L. Lindsey,Natalia A. Villavicencio,Enrique Bostelmann,Elizabeth A. Hadly,James A. Wanket,Charles R. Marshall +6 more
TL;DR: Findings help in identifying modern ecosystems that are most at risk for disappearing should current pressures on the ecosystems’ large animals continue and highlight the critical role of both individual species ecologies and ecosystem context in predicting the lasting impacts of defaunation currently underway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combination of humans, climate, and vegetation change triggered Late Quaternary megafauna extinction in the Última Esperanza region, southern Patagonia, Chile
Natalia A. Villavicencio,Emily L. Lindsey,Fabiana María Martin,Luis Alberto Borrero,Patricio I. Moreno,Charles R. Marshall,Anthony D. Barnosky +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of the megafaunal extinction in the Ultima Esperanza (UE) area of southwestern Patagonia, Chile, based on radiocarbon dates from published literature.
