- Mammalian megafauna are described as intrinsically fragile because they have low densities and slow reproduction. — On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
- Contemporary ecosystems lack many extinct large-bodied mammals, motivating mechanistic allometric models of megafaunal persistence. — On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
- Large-bodied trophic interactions can become dynamically infeasible depending on predator-prey mass relationships, predation intensity, resource productivity, and human harvest. — On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
