Differentiation of Europe's mammal fauna against a background of biogeographical units, the area of units and mammalian taxonomic richness
  • Differentiation of Europe's mammal fauna against a background of biogeographical units, the area of units and mammalian taxonomic richness
  • Biodiversity ; Biogeography ; Europe ; Habitat ; Mammal ; Regression analysis ; Spatial distribution ; Statistics ; Taxonomy
  • This analysis considered the relationship between the occurrence of mammals and geographical location in Europe, as well as the size of biogeographical units. It was found that there was differentiation in the qualitative composition of the mammal
  • . Besides area, the regional variability of environmental conditions also has a decisive influence on the distribution of mammals in Europe.
Middle Pleistocene climate change recorded in fossil mammal teeth from Tarija, Bolivia, and upper limit of the Ensenadan land-mammal age

Paleobiological implications of the isotopic signatures (C 13, N 15) of fossil mammal collagen in Scladina cave (Sclayn, Belgium)
  • Paleobiological implications of the isotopic signatures (C 13, N 15) of fossil mammal collagen in Scladina cave (Sclayn, Belgium)
  • Archeological site ; Belgium ; Biogeochemistry ; Geochemistry ; Isotope analysis ; Mammal ; Palaeo-ecology ; Palaeo-environment ; Pleistocene ; Taxonomy
  • This paper assesses the preservation of biogenic isotopic composition of the collagen fraction of mammal bone and tooth from the uppermost well-defined layer of the cave (numbered 1A) and determines the ecological basis for interspecific differences
  • in the carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of mammals from other late Pleistocene sites in Eurasia.
An attempt at the zoogeographical regionalization of Europe on the basis of the distribution of vertebrates
  • Biodiversity ; Biogeography ; Europe ; Fauna ; Mammal ; Regionalization ; Spatial distribution ; Statistics ; Taxonomy
  • 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
  • enabled analyses to be made of the zoogeographical similarity of the mammal species in 29 administrative units and 58 territorial-biogeographical units.
Pre-Wisconsinan mammals from Jamaica and models of late Quaternary extinction in the Greater Antilles
  • Pre-Wisconsinan mammals from Jamaica and models of late Quaternary extinction in the Greater Antilles
  • The purpose of this paper is : 1) to present radiometric dates for the first pre-Wisconsinan land mammal locality recognized in the West Indies, and 2) to assess the significance of this new information for existing models of Quaternary extinctions

An ice age refugium for large mammals in the Alexander Archipelago, southeastern Alaska
  • An ice age refugium for large mammals in the Alexander Archipelago, southeastern Alaska
  • Alaska ; Biogeography ; Glaciation ; Habitat ; Mammal ; Palaeo-ecology ; Quaternary ; Wisconsinan
  • Genetic and paleontological evidence are combining to provide a new and surprising picture of mammalian biogeography in southeastern Alaska. The AA. conclude that brown bears, and perhaps other large mammals, have continuously inhabited
Mid-Pleistocene change in large mammal faunas of East Africa
  • Mid-Pleistocene change in large mammal faunas of East Africa
  • Dating ; Fauna ; Fossil fauna ; K/Ar dating ; Kenya ; Mammal ; Pleistocene ; Quaternary ; Rift ; Taxonomy
  • The age estimates and the faunal composition at Lainyamok indicate that geographic changes and taxonomic associations of extant large-bodied mammals were susceptible to wide fluctuations in sub-Saharan Africa over the past 330,000 yr. This inference
Middle Pleistocene climate change in the Colorado Rocky Mountains indicated by fossil mammals from Porcupine Cave
  • Middle Pleistocene climate change in the Colorado Rocky Mountains indicated by fossil mammals from Porcupine Cave
  • Biostratigraphy ; Climatic variation ; Colorado ; Mammal ; Palaeo-environment ; Quaternary ; Sedimentology ; Taxonomy ; United States
  • different from those of the present, but seasonal precipitation was more equable. Relative abundance of mammal taxa and sedimentological data indicate that aridity increased at the onset of the interglacial.
Long Plio-Pleistocene terrestrial record of climate change and mammal turnover in southern Spain
  • Long Plio-Pleistocene terrestrial record of climate change and mammal turnover in southern Spain
  • Biostratigraphy ; Climatic cycle ; Climatic variation ; Granada ; Mammal ; Palaeo-ecology ; Palaeo-environment ; Pleistocene ; Pliocene ; Spain
  • Mediterranean region. The cyclostratigraphic analysis has enabled the recognition of a number of climatically forced cycles reflecting alternating dry and wet periods. Discussion of the results : significant mammal turnover.

Refinements of the European mammal biochronology from the magnetic polarity record of the Plio-Pleistocene Zújar section, Guadix-Baza Basin, SE Spain
  • Refinements of the European mammal biochronology from the magnetic polarity record of the Plio-Pleistocene Zújar section, Guadix-Baza Basin, SE Spain
  • The magnetobiostratigraphy study of the 130-m-thick Zújar section (Negratín clays unit, Guadix-Baza Basin, Spain) provides a remarkable opportunity to improve the correlation of European mammal biostratigraphy to the Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale
