Ancient DNA analyses of early archaeological sites in New Zealand reveal extreme exploitation of moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes) at all life stages

The human colonisation of New Zealand in the late thirteenth century AD led to catastrophic impacts onthe local biota and is among the most compelling examples of human over-exploitation of native fauna,including megafauna. Nearly half of the species in New Zealand’ s pre-human avifauna are now exti...
