Speciation — the process by which one species splits into two or more reproductively isolated lineages — is the engine of biodiversity. Ernst Mayr's biological species concept (1942) defines species as groups of interbre

R_5_02 — Megafauna Extinction: Quaternary Losses and the Overkill Debate

Between ~50,000 and 10,000 years ago, Earth lost the majority of its large-bodied animals (megafauna >44 kg) — woolly mammoths, ground sloths, saber-toothed cats, giant wombats, moa, and dozens of other spectacular speci
