Fig. 1: Human colonization and associated bird extinctions.
From: Undiscovered bird extinctions obscure the true magnitude of human-driven extinction waves
Human expansion across the planet is classified into four major waves (see legend; Supplementary Fig. 1). Major human dispersal routes are indicated with arrows, and silhouettes show example fossil (pre-Holocene–1500 CE) and observed (1500 CE–Present) bird extinctions. See Supplementary Fig. 1 for additional information and species names. As well as Supplementary Fig. 2 and Supplementary Data 1 for region locations and names. The map is centred on 145°E longitude.
