• Last Glacial PeriodRelated: Extinctions unfolded during rapid environmental change at the close of the glacial period.

• QuaternaryRelated: Its causes remain contested between climatic change and human impacts.

• MegaherbivoreRelated: Losing large herbivores can remove grazing, browsing, and seed-dispersal processes from ecosystems.

• SmilodonRelated: Smilodon's extinction forms part of this broader ecological turnover.

• Glacial periodRelated: Rapid climate shifts at the end of the last glacial period altered habitats alongside human impacts.

• Mammoth SteppeRelated: The decline of large grazers transformed the steppe’s food webs.
