Disassembled Food Webs and Messy Projections: Modern Ungulate Communities in the Face of Unabating Human Population Growth

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The human population grows inexorably. When Charles Darwin explored the southern cone of South America in 1830, fewer than 1.2 billion people inhabited Earth. When Ehrlich’s Population Bomb appeared in 1968, there were ∼3.5 billion people.

Going back for the future: Incorporating Pleistocene fossil records of saiga antelope into habitat suitability models

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 8, Page 1351-1364, August 2024.
Abstract Aim Many species have suffered anthropogenic range contraction and no longer occupy all available suitable environmental conditions. This is particularly problematic for the construction of habitat suitability models (HSMs), which assume that a species' contemporary range reflects its full species–environment relationship.
