• Island extinctions: processes, patterns, and potential for ecosystem restoration (2017, unknown): “1994), but there is no evidence suggesting that they contributed to local extinctions (Louys et al. 2007).”
• Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change (2009, background): “For example, in southeast Asia humans and megafauna coexisted for a long period, and the persistence of megafauna for thousands of years despite indirect indications of human hunting argues humans weren’t the sole cause of megafaunal extinction (Louys et al. 2007).”
• Biogeography and conservation in Southeast Asia: how 2.7 million years of repeated environmental fluctuations affect today’s patterns and the future of the remaining refugial-phase biodiversity (2010, background): “Unfortunately, the events are still too poorly documented to discuss either causes or ecological consequences (Louys 2007; Louys et al. 2007; Corlett 2009a).”
• Palaeoecology of Southeast Asian megafauna‐bearing sites from the Pleistocene and a review of environmental changes in the region (2010, background): “1432 www.blackwellpublishing.com/jbi ª 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd doi:10.1111/j.1365-2699.2010.02297.x resulted in many speciation opportunities and relatively few extinction events (e.g. Whitmore, 1987; Meijaard, 2004; Louys, 2007, 2008; Louys et al., 2007).”
• Late Pleistocene and Holocene mammal extinctions on continental Africa (2014, background): “In terms of the number of extinct taxa that are securely dated to this time frame, the African extinctions exceed those in Europe and Asia (Grayson, 2007; Louys et al., 2007), match those from Australia (Wroe and Field, 2006; Field et al.”
• Late Quaternary megafaunal extinctions on the continents: a short review (2015, background): “Of these, the IUCN Red List categorizes Javan rhino, Sumatran rhino and Sumatran orangutan as ‘critically endangered’ and Asian elephant, Indian water buffalo, banteng,Malayan tapir, Bornean orangutan, tiger and giant panda as ‘endangered’.”
• The Indochinese–Sundaic zoogeographic transition: a description and analysis of terrestrial mammal species distributions (2009, background): “mammals in this area will also be incomplete until the impacts of the disappearance of the megafauna are understood (see, for example, Tougard et al., 1996; Van den Bergh et al., 2001; Corlett, 2006, 2007; Hill et al., 2006; Louys et al., 2007; Louys, 2008).”
