Outcrops near Gniew in the one-time hinterland of the Pomeranian-phase ice sheet at its maximum extent were subject to lithofacial analyses of sediments, as well as faunistic studies and direct dating of the marine fauna presented within species
is one attributable to the cold sea developing during the Grudziądz Interstadial, rather than to the Eemian interglacial as had previously been accepted. The time of redeposition of the marine fauna - and hence also of the series of sandy-gravely
Differentiation of Europe's mammal fauna against a background of biogeographical units, the area of units and mammalian taxonomic richness
fauna in the north-south direction, which resulted from the overall zonal distribution of cool, temperate and hot areas. The correlation between the number of species and the area of a unit was not statistically significant in every case considered
Environmental, ecological, and paleoanthropological implications of the Late Pleistocene mammalian fauna from Equus Cave, Northern Cape Province, South Africa in XIII INQUA Congress issue.
This paper summarizes 1) the implications of the fauna for late Quaternary environmental change in southern Africa| 2) the ecology and behavior of key species, including especially the brown hyena and the very abundant, extinct Bond's springbok
Marine interglacial deposits in the Cuxhaven area, NW Germany : a comparison of Holsteinian, Eemian and Holocene foraminiferal faunas
Interglacial foraminiferal faunas are described from Holsteinian, Eemian and Holocene deposits in borings from Cuxhaven area. These assemblages are compared with published faunal lists from corresponding interglacial deposits in NW Germany
Een ecologische analyse van de spinnen- en loopkeverfauna van vijf boshabitaten in de Famenne Ecological analysis of the spider and carabid beetle fauna of woodland types in the famenne (Belgium)
Five woodland types have been investigated for their spider and carabid beetle fauna. The habitat preference of the most abundant species was approached by means of cluster and correlation analyses. - (Authors).
During the road construction work near the city of Pécs (South Hungary), many fossils were found in September 2008. New finds of bone and teeth remains of Mammoth Steppe fauna from Upper Pleistocene fluvial sediments are reviewed. The complete Late

The Thomas quarries near Casablanca (Morocco) yielded the remains of several fossil hominids, ascribed to Homo erectus, associated with a stone industry and a relatively rich fauna, the most diversified of the whole Moroccan Pléistocene. A detailed
study of the fauna is given. The fauna seems to indicate the occurrence of two different environments near the sites: an open savannah and a more broken, rocky, and perhaps more wooded, area near the shore.
The bird and large mammals remains are here examined. All the species recognized in the Jebel Irhoud fauna present a great coherence from an ecological point of view and are indicative of a steppic environment. The Jebel Irhoud fauna differs clearly
from the extant Morocco fauna and is characterized by the absence of any eurasiatic immigrated species. Therefore, the karstic filling of the neanderthal grotto is certainly slightly older than the faunal change which occured during the Upper

Presentation of a zoogeographical regionalization of Europe on the basis of the contemporary distribution of mammal faunas. The richness of families, genera and species of these animals was defined on the basis of source materials. The data obtained
was assessed and statistical processing of the material involved the comparison of the local faunas on the basis of the Jaccard and Steinhaus index of similarity and the Szymkiewicz index of relatedness. - (DG)

The purpose of this study is to show the pattern of colonization in some well-known insect groups, and to show the present state of their faunas, mainly based upon the surveys made in 1982. Results and discussion.
