Ecological dynamics of moa extinctions reveal convergent refugia that today harbourflightless birds - Supplementary Materials

This repository provides detailed methods on how we used spatially-explicit population models and pattern-oriented modelling techniques to reconstruct the extinction dynamics of six species of moa following Polynesian colonisation of New Zealand. The example scripts and data recapitulate a subset of the thousands of moa/climate/harvest simulation models that we developed. The scripts are numbered and need to be followed in order to generate the appropriate data and simulations.
