Abstract
The timing, drivers, and ecological consequences of Late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions remain subjects of global debate, constrained by limited data spanning this period. This study employs a novel combination of proxy-based palaeoecological and a functional palaeoecological approach to identify the most precise timing of megafaunal extinction in Australia to date, as well as the likely occurrences surrounding extinction and the floristic response to extinction. This talk will explore the topic and results within the context of the global debate.
Series This talk is part of the Sedgwick Club talks series.
