La noche de los gigantes (y VI). La Megafauna africana y la extinción
Toward the end of the Pleistocene, North America lost 37 mammalian genera including over 70% of its megafauna, commonly defined as terrestrial taxa exceeding 44 kg 1.Although part of a broader.

Large herbivores and carnivores (the megafauna) have been in a state of decline and extinction since the Late Pleistocene, both on land and more recently in the oceans. Much has been written on the timing and causes of these declines, but only recently has scientific attention focused on the consequences of these declines for ecosystem function.

Pleistocene Megafauna in Beringia By Pamela Groves, University of Alaska An artist's interpretation of ice age fauna. Image courtesy of Mauricio Antón At the peak of the last ice age, 20,000 years ago, when most of northern North America was covered by massive glaciers, much of Alaska was ice-free and home to a diverse assortment of large mammals.

The disappearance of many North American megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene is a contentious topic. While the proposed causes for megafaunal extinction are varied, most researchers fall into.

La megafauna del Pleistocene è il termine collettivo utilizzato per indicare gli animali di grandi dimensioni (la cosiddetta megafauna) diffusi sulla Terra.
The Dragon's Tales New Evidence in the Australian Pleistocene
The worldwide extinction of megafauna during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene is evident from the fossil record, with dominant theories suggesting a climate, human or combined impact.
Fauna of the Pleistocene by Mauricio Antón Prehistoric Wildlife
Although a residual extant megafauna did survive the Pleistocene extinction event (e.g., red kangaroo, bison, Asian elephant, llama, etc.), the only continent on Earth where a diverse assemblage of megafauna remains is Africa, which is also where mod- ern humans arose.
Megafaunal Biodiversity of Pleistocene Mexico Naturewasmetal
In North America, Pleistocene-Holocene deglaciation [18 to 6 thousand years ago (ka); 1 ka = 1000 calendar years ago] was marked by massive biotic upheaval, including the extinction of 34 megafaunal genera (), species migration and reorganization of terrestrial communities (), the rise and decline of plant communities without modern analogs (), and increased biomass burning ().

The drivers of megafauna extinctions have drastically shifted between the Pleistocene (between 2.6 million and 11,700 years before present), Holocene [11,700 to 100 years before present (8, 9)], and Anthropocene epochs [<70 years before present ()].During the Pleistocene, slowly operating geological, climatic, and biological processes, such as fluctuations in sea levels and the resulting.

Abstract. Giant vertebrates dominated many Pleistocene ecosystems. Many were herbivores, and their sudden extinction in prehistory could have had large ecological impacts. We used a high-resolution 130,000-year environmental record to help resolve the cause and reconstruct the ecological consequences of extinction of Australia's megafauna.

Megafauna strongly influence vegetation structure, and population declines can alter ecosystem functioning. Overhunting of grazing megafauna is argued to have driven the collapse of widespread, northern steppe-tundra and its replacement by woody vegetation at the end of the ice age.
Herbivorous megafauna in Pleistocene North America r/quatria
The Late Pleistocene to the beginning of the Holocene saw numerous extinctions of predominantly megafaunal (large) animal species (the Pleistocene megafauna ), which resulted in a collapse in faunal density and diversity across the globe. [1]
