Description

Fig. 6. The number of endemic vertebrate genera whose extinction is attributed to human activities across different archipelagos worldwide. In red, those extinctions attributable to pre-European colonizers (pre-description extinctions) and in blue, those attributable to Europeans (post-description extinctions) (based in Johnson et al., 2017). Map adapted from https://commons.wikimedia.org/ with dark grey areas indicating islands.
