Climate-human interaction associated with southeast Australian megafauna extinction patterns

Climate-human interaction associated with southeast Australian megafauna extinction patterns

Whether Australia’s Pleistocene megafauna extinctions were caused by climate change, humans, or both is debated. Here, the authors infer the spatio-temporal trajectories of regional extinctions and find that water availability mediates the relationship among climate, human migration and megafauna ex...
