Abstract
Use of large caliber repeating rifles makes large birds and mammals vulnerable to overharvest or simply mass destruction. This lesson was unscored when unregulated use of firearms caused the local extinction of nearly every species of large mammal and bird in the southeastern United States by the beginning of the twentieth century. During the same period in southern India, restricted access to firearms and a culture of respect for wildlife allowed large mammals and birds to co–exist with a large human population. The survival of megafauna rests on the will of a society to stop uncontrolled killing.
期刊介绍：
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation (antes Miscel·lània Zoològica) es una revista interdisciplinar, publicada desde 1958 por el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. Incluye artículos de investigación empírica y teórica en todas las áreas de la zoología (sistemática, taxonomía, morfología, biogeografía, ecología, etología, fisiología y genética) procedentes de todas las regiones del mundo. La revista presta especial interés a los estudios que planteen un problema nuevo o introduzcan un tema nuevo, con hipòtesis y prediccions claras, y a los trabajos que de una manera u otra tengan relevancia en la biología de la conservación. No se publicaran artículos puramente descriptivos, o artículos faunísticos o corológicos en los que se describa la distribución en el espacio o en el tiempo de los organismes zoológicos.
