Reconstructing colonization dynamics to establish how human activities transformed island biodiversity

2023-02-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Aim</h4> The drivers and dynamics of initial human migrations across individual islands and archipelagos are poorly understood, affecting assessments of human-modification of island biodiversity. Here, we describe and test a process-explicit approach for reconstructing human arrival and expansion on islands, which combines archaeological and climate records with high-resolution spatial population models. Usin...
