Ecography, EarlyView.Many of the world's megafaunal species went extinct during the late Quaternary, leading to dramatic reductions in community and ecosystem functioning. While the nature and severity of the extinctions are well documented on global and continental scales, less is known about local‐scale impacts.

Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and highly active
Ecography, EarlyView.There is much contention over the causes and correlates of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene. A major role for human impact such as hunting has been discussed widely. If correct, the overkill hypothesis explains not only why large mammals in general were highly prone to extinction but suggests that extinction may have been selective ...

Ecography, EarlyView.About 14% of all fern species have chlorophyllous spores, which lack dormancy, have thin walls, and have a shorter viability (only a few days in some species). These spores should have limited dispersal distances and be more susceptible to harsher climatic conditions, raising questions about the evolutionary and ecological significance of this trait ...
