UNM researcher exploring influence of ancient humans on extinction and body size patterns of mammals finds size-selective extinction is a hallmark of human activities
Researchers including a UNM biology professor have demonstrated that mammal biodiversity loss, a major conservation concern today, is part of a long-term trend lasting at least 125,000 years. As archaic humans, Neanderthals and other hominin species migrated out of Africa, a wave of size biased extinction in mammals followed. This occurred on all continents and […] Read More
