Therefore, the role of slash-and-burn is significant in the current Holocene extinction.

Overall, the Holocene extinction can be characterised by humanity's presence.

The Holocene extinction event is one of the greatest dangers mankind faces today.

The Holocene extinction continues into the 21st century.

The current Holocene extinction event, then, could lead to a planet inhabited entirely by what are known today as weeds.

The Holocene extinction drastically reduced numbers and distribution of megafauna.

Named the Holocene extinction, the reduction is caused primarily by human impacts, particularly habitat destruction.

Also see Holocene extinction for more information.

This was the first Holocene extinction event.

This has caused a widespread, ongoing extinction of other species known as the Holocene extinction.

The Holocene extinction is the human-caused mass extinction of nearly all currently living species.

Beginning of the Holocene extinction.

It has been suggested that we are living in an era of unprecedented numbers of species extinctions, also known as the Holocene extinction event.

Insect extinction rates are high-supporting the Holocene extinction hypothesis.

For "recent" extinctions, see Holocene extinction.

The Holocene extinction event is an ongoing mass extinction associated with humanity's expansion across the globe over the past few thousand years.

The Holocene extinction event is the result of habitat destruction, the large distribution of invasive species, hunting and climate change.

Holocene Extinctions.

However, the extinction wave did not stop at the end of the Pleistocene, but continued especially on isolated islands in Holocene extinctions.

The present era is classified as part of a mass extinction event, the Holocene extinction event, the fastest ever to have occurred.

This is believed to be a major contributor to the ongoing Holocene extinction event, which is a form of extinction event.

If true, this hypothesis explains early Holocene extinctions and possibly legends of the Universal Deluge.

Given the status of the ongoing Holocene extinction, streams play an important corridor role in connecting fragmented habitats and thus in conserving biodiversity.

The Holocene extinction includes the disappearance of large mammals known as megafauna, starting between 9,000 and 13,000 years ago, the end of the last Ice Age.

The arrival of humans on these island groups often resulted in disruption of the indigenous ecosystems and waves of species extinctions (see Holocene extinction event).
