Taphonomy of two last glacial maximum mammoth sites in the central Great Plains of North America: A preliminary report on La Sena and Lovewell

On discerning the cause of late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions by testing the only extinction model with strong a priori predictions, the blitzkrieg model, and find that both a reanalysis of Grayson's data and an analysis of new reliable data support a terminal Wisconsin extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The estimation that the population size of the Japanese subspecies increased rapidly during the Late Pleistocene is the first evidential signal of a niche exchange between brown bears and black bears in the Japanese main islands, and supports the new evolutionary hypothesis of theJapanese black bear.
