The restructuring of ecological networks by the Pleistocene extinction
Most terrestrial large mammals went extinct on different continents at the end of the
Pleistocene, between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. Besides the loss in species diversity …

Trait-mediated speciation and human-driven extinctions in proboscideans revealed by unsupervised Bayesian neural networks
Species life-history traits, paleoenvironment, and biotic interactions likely influence
speciation and extinction rates, affecting species richness over time. Birth-death models …

After the mammoths: The ecological legacy of late Pleistocene megafauna extinctions
The significant extinctions in Earth history have largely been unpredictable in terms of what
species perish and what traits make species susceptible. The extinctions occurring during …

Evolution of longevity as a species-specific trait in mammals
From the evolutionary point of view, the priority problem for an individual is not longevity, but
adaptation to the environment associated with the need for survival, food supply, and …
