• Late Pleistocene and Holocene mammal extinctions on continental Africa (2014, background): “, 2013), and are surpassed only by the losses in the Americas (Grayson, 1991, 2007; Cione et al., 2009; Faith and Surovell, 2009).”
• Megafauna extinction in South America: A new chronology for the Argentine Pampas (2015, background): “However, at the end of the Pleistocene extinction there was a particularly extraordinary event and more species of megamammals (over 1000 kg) and most large mammals (over 44 kg) were lost than in any other extinction event (Cione et al., 2009).”
