Jun30Online seminar by Prof. Christopher E. Doughty — Megafauna extinction, tree species range reduction, and carbon storage in Amazonian forests
KST 11:00 – 12:00 | Join us online click here
During the late Pleistocene and early Holocene 59 species of South American megafauna went extinct. Their extinction potentially triggered population declines of large-seeded tree species dispersed by the large-bodied frugivores with […]
