Plio-Pleistocene decline of African megaherbivores: No evidence for ancient hominin impacts
It has long been proposed that pre-modern hominin impacts drove extinctions and shaped
the evolutionary history of Africa's exceptionally diverse large mammal communities, but this …

Functional traits of the world's late Quaternary large-bodied avian and mammalian herbivores
Prehistoric and recent extinctions of large-bodied terrestrial herbivores had significant and
lasting impacts on Earth's ecosystems due to the loss of their distinct trait combinations. The …
