On low islands or island groups such as the Bahamas, surrounded by shallow oceans,
Quaternary glacial–interglacial changes in climate and sea level had major effects on …

Comparing distributional information derived from fossils with the modern distribution of
species, we summarize the changing bird communities of the Bahamian Archipelago across …

We report 95 vertebrate taxa (13 fishes, 11 reptiles, 63 birds, 8 mammals) from late
Pleistocene bone deposits in Sawmill Sink, Abaco, The Bahamas. The> 5,000 fossils were …

We report Quaternary vertebrate and plant fossils from Sawmill Sink, a “blue hole”(a water-
filled sinkhole) on Great Abaco Island, The Bahamas. The fossils are well preserved …

Avian fossils give us a unique opportunity to assess changes through time in species
diversity and distributions. We report a previously unstudied collection of∼ 500 bird fossils …

Aim To establish a chronology for late Quaternary avian extinction, extirpation and
persistence in the Bahamas, thereby testing the relative roles of climate change and human …

ABSTRACT Olson, Storrs L., editor. Fossil Vertebrates from the Bahamas. Smithsonian
Contributions to Paleobiology, number 48, 65 pages, 12 figures, 1982.—The three papers in …

Since the late Pleistocene humans have caused the extinction of species across our planet.
Placing these extinct species in the tree of life with genetic data is essential to understanding …

We report eight new accelerator-mass spectrometer (AMS) radiocarbon (14C) dates
performed directly on individual bones of extirpated species from Crooked Island, The …

We combined novel radiocarbon dates of bat fossils with time-scaled ecological niche
models (ENM) to study bat extinctions in the Caribbean. Radiocarbon-dated fossils show …
