The graph is from this article: https://peakoilbarrel.com/carrying-capacity-overshoot-and-species-extinction/

...which cites the article you linked, but also this paper: https://vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/uploads/PDR37-4.Smil_.pgs613-636.pdf

It would be nicer, if it was in some renown journal, so we'd know some sort of peer review has taken place. This certainly could still be entirely made up. But it looks a lot more convincing/sourced than most articles.
