Holocene extinctions, biological taxa that went extinct during the current geological/paleobiological Holocene epoch of the Quaternary Period. Extinct plant/flora and animal/fauna species of the last 12,000 years (occurring from ~10,000 BCE to the present day.
When overkill and climate change are combined they balance each other out. Climate change reduces the number of plants, overkill removes animals, therefore fewer plants are eaten. Second-order predation combined with climate change exacerbates the effect of climate change. [171] (results graph at right). The second-order predation hypothesis is ...
