Ecological dynamics of moa extinctions reveal convergent refugia that today harbor flightless birds.

2023-09-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Human settlement of islands across the Pacific Ocean was followed by waves of faunal extinctions that occurred so rapidly that their dynamics are difficult to reconstruct in space and time. These extinctions included large, wingless birds endemic to New Zealand called moa. We reconstructed the range and extinction dynamics of six genetically distinct species of moa across New Zealand at...
