Palaeoecological and historical observations of an endemic New Zealand bird (Strigops habroptila, kākāpō) reveal shifting drivers of decline during 800 years of human settlement by Joanna K. Carpenter, George L.W. Perry, Janet M. Wilmshurst

“…By comparing the prehuman (i.e., pre-1280 CE) distribution of kākāpō with their historical (post-1769) distribution and overlaying this with data on prehuman and historical deforestation and feral dog pack observations, we show that the drivers of kākāpō decline shifted in time across the North and South Islands of New Zealand. In the South Island, forest clearance appears to be the key correlate of local kākāpō extirpation following Polynesian settlement. …”
