Combining Bayesian age models and genetics to investigate population dynamics and extinction of the last mammoths in northern Siberia
To understand the causes and implications of an extinction event, detailed information is necessary. However, this can be challenging when working with poorly resolved paleontological data sets. One approach to increase the data resolution is by combining different methods. In this study, we used bo...
