Lake sediments from Panama trace megafauna declines over 17,000 years, linking herbivore loss to shifts in fire, forests, and fruiting plants—informing rewilding to restore ecosystem functions doi.org/hbq9xc phys.org/news/2026-03-r…

For further insights into the first detailed multi-proxy record of megafaunal presence/absence and the effects of megafaunal declines on vegetation dynamics and fire activity spanning the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene in Panama, see our paper at doi.org/10.1016/j.quas… 🔬

In this paper, which is another output of the thesis by (now) Dr. João Nascimento, we present evidence that 'Variation in prey availability over time shaped the extinction dynamics of sabre-toothed cats'. doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo… art by @felipecapoccia

Before human-driven degradation, European wildwoods were rich in hazel, oak, and yew—species thriving on disturbances likely caused by large herbivores. 🫎 🐘 🦬 Happy to finally share this work! 🥳🌳 lnkd.in/gXVWZQxy
