L. Serventy Medal[6][7] Holdaway is director (and owner)[8] of Palaecol Research Ltd in Christchurch, New Zealand.[9] He was recognized for his findings (together with Chris Jacomb)[10] on the extinction of the New Zealand terrestrial megafauna by the University of Otago.[11] His work has also appeared in the New Zealand Journal of Zoology,[12] Nature Communications,[13] the US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health and Royal Society Publishing[14] among others.[15]
