Comments	P.11263 left column bottom paragraph: "Several unique mammal lineages (notably the endemic South American orders Litopterna and Notoungulata) were completely lost during the likely human-linked extinctions of the terminal Pleistocene and early Holocene (ref 18). These extinctions also decimated the sloth and anteater, armadillo, odd-toed ungulate, and elephant lineages, all disproportionately rich in PD (Fig. 1 and SI Appendix, Fig. S1)."
