Briefings

A 2026 study published in PLOS Biology by Joel Abraham and colleagues at Princeton University indicates that hooved mammals which migrate face a higher extinction risk over the past 100,000 years compared to nonmigratory species. The research analyzes historical data to identify patterns in species survival linked to movement behaviors.

Key points

• Hooved mammals that migrate have experienced a higher rate of extinction over the past 100,000 years than nonmigratory species.
• The study was conducted by Joel Abraham and colleagues at Princeton University and published in PLOS Biology in November 2026.

Context

This research examines long-term survival patterns of hooved mammals, specifically comparing migration strategies against nonmigratory ones to understand extinction drivers.

Limitations

The study covers only the past 100,000 years and relies on historical data; specific geographic regions or contemporary population trends are not detailed in the provided evidence.
