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.

本仓库详细阐述了我们如何使用**空间显式种群模型（spatially-explicit population models）**与**面向模式建模（pattern-oriented modelling）**技术，重构波利尼西亚人殖民新西兰后6种恐鸟（moa）的灭绝动态。本仓库附带的示例脚本与数据集，复现了我们开发的数千套恐鸟/气候/狩猎模拟模型中的一部分。所有脚本均已编号，需按顺序运行以生成适配的模拟数据与仿真结果。
