They were multiply imputed 20 times based on 22 traits of 134 species (i. e. our whole sample) and the whole dataset had ~21% missing values. Values of closely related species would have been drawn preferentially by the algorithm (pmm with mida's touch), but not always.

And no, neither smaller, nor larger 🧠 are related to extinction proclivity.

Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and highly active
There is much contention over the causes and correlates of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene. A major role for human impact such as hunting has been discussed widely. If correct, t...

BMR is a major but often overlooked confound of all traits previously proposed to be related to carnivore extinction during the Pleistocene in the context of the overkill hypothesis. We looked at 22 eco & LH traits in a sample of 120 extant and 14 extinct species from every biogeographic realm.

Randomly coming across a MDPI article where the author cites himself every time he's unsure what to cite (t-test, Fisher). It's also the editor's choice 🤦♂️

Public info institution the BoM never mentions fossil-fuelled global heating, even during mega-droughts, heatwaves, bushfires floods. Why? Perhaps because its board is controlled by Shell, Santos, Woodside & Chevron?
If you think this stinks, make a subsmission!

Undue Influence: oil and gas giants infiltrate Australia's Bureau of Meteorology - Michael West
Oil giants Shell, Santos, Woodside and Chevron finance the Bureau of Meteorology. The BOM does not discuss "climate change".
