- Title
Mammal Loss.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a University of California, Berkeley and Pennsylvania State University study which revealed that North American mammals are one-fifth to one-half on the way if the planet is on the track for another mass extinction. The researchers used the combined data from three catalogs of mammal diversity in the U.S. and they were able to discover that mammal extinction happened a thousand years after the humans arrived. The study used a 30 million-year timeline in order to compare diversity over a period of time.
