Trade-offs beget trade-offs: Causal analysis of mammalian population dynamics

|
By Juraj Bergman, Rasmus Ostergaard Pedersen, Erick Lundgren, Jonas Trepel
| BioRxiv
Abstract Survival and reproduction strategies in mammals are determined by trade-offs between life history traits. In turn, the unique configuration of traits that characterizes mammalian species gives rise to species-specific population dynamics. The dependence of population dynamics on life history has been primarily studied as the relationship between population density and size-related traits.

Worldwide late-Quaternary population declines in extant megafauna are due to Homo sapiens rather than climate

New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.08.13.503826 Abstract The worldwide loss of large animal species over the past 100,000 years is evident from the fossil record, with climate and human impact as the most likely causes of megafauna extinctions. To help distinguish between these two scenarios, we analysed whole-genome sequence data of 142 species to infer their population size histories during the Quaternary.
