“…These three canid species co‐occurred in this period in most of the Iberian territory (as evidenced by several sites), but we did not find a representative site which canid sample (with a significant record of all these species) could be used to conduct the test. Thus, values from lower carnassial length of extant Asiatic dholes were used, ( C. alpinus ( n =42) = 21.4 ± 1.1 mm) which show values very similar to the last (Upper Pleistocene) European representatives of this species – LM 1 : Rascaño = 21 mm (Altuna 1981); Los Casares = 20.2 mm (Altuna 1973); L’Observatoire = 21 mm (Boule & Villeneuve 1927); Isturitz = 22.3 mm (Bouchud 1951); and Zafarraya = 22.4, 22.3, 22, 22.2 mm (Geraads 1995) – and hence differ from the larger Middle Pleistocene form ( C. alpinus fossilis ) (García 2003, p. 158).…”

Virgós E. 2007: Evolution of community composition in several carnivore palaeoguilds from the European Pleistocene: the role of interspecific competition. Lethaia, Vol. 40, This study focuses on ecological processes such as competition or predation from an evolutionary perspective. First, we attempt to test the idea that species with similar feeding requirements tend to coexist by separating morphologically or behaviourally. Then, the Barton-David test was applied to several carnivore communities (felids and canids) separated in time. Although the preservation bias of the fossil record renders our conclusions tentative, the general equal size-ratio pattern in most of the guilds examined indicates that inter-specific competition for prey species seems to be a good candidate to explain the evolution of guild composition and morphological traits throughout the Pleistocene for the two groups considered, felids and canids. ᮀ Barton-David test, body size estimation, canids, character displacement, felids, size-ratios.Nuria García [ngarcia@isciii.es], Museum of Vertebrate Zoology,

“…Animal species associated with a cold climate appear mostly in the first half of the Gravettian, in both archaeological and exclusively palaeontological deposits (Bouchud, 1951; Altuna, 1972; Altuna and Mariezkurrena, 1984; Castaños, 1996): mammoth, woolly rhinoceros ( Coelodonta antiquitatis ) and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus ). The presence of reindeer in this environment appears to have been scarce, as it has only been identified through isolated remains at Lezetxiki and Aitzbitarte IIII (Altuna and Mariezkurrena, 2011) (Fig.…”

“…The presence of reindeer in this environment appears to have been scarce, as it has only been identified through isolated remains at Lezetxiki and Aitzbitarte IIII (Altuna and Mariezkurrena, 2011) (Fig. 1), whereas in Isturitz cave, it played a significant role in human subsistence strategies (Passemard, 1944; Bouchud, 1951; Beaufort and Jullien, 1973; Lacarrière, 2008; Normand and others, 2012). Mammoth consumption has also been documented in that cave (Villaluenga and others, 2022).…”

Upper Palaeolithic archaeological sites in the Basque Country have been excavated for over a century. They have yielded a rich palaeoenvironmental record with zoological and botanical remains that have been obtained in stratigraphic series dated precisely by radiocarbon. This information reveals cyclical environmental changes from climates similar to today to drier and extremely cold conditions, when species in current boreal biomes and others now extinct but with similar ecological preferences were present in the region. Moreover, the archaeological sites have provided high-resolution information about the resilience mechanisms of the communities of our own human species. This information allows us to increase the corpus of palaeoclimate data regarding the Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 2 and MIS 3 for a critical region within the human population of Eurasia. The aim of this paper is to show how an extraordinary capacity for adaptation to drastic climate changes Upper Palaeolithic hunter–gatherer societies displayed, even though their subsistence depended on biotic resources that alter rapidly.

The presence of Cuon alpinus in Poland is documented here for the first time. Between 650 and 450 ka, Lycaon lycaonoides dominated the open lands, while Cuon alpinus priscus tended to prefer forests, mountains and highlands. Canis mosbachensis coexisted in all these environments. Between 480 and 430 ka, there was a drastic reduction in the number and range of L. lycaonoides. The balance between canids was disturbed and a critical point in the lycaon–wolf relationship was passed. Probably between 450 and 400 ka, the lycaon was too rare to be a real competitor and a limiting factor for the wolf. It was also at this time that the lycaon disappeared completely. With disappearance of the lycaon from Eurasia, there was a slow increase in the body size of the wolf. Between 400 and 300 ka, the dhole and the wolf were still close in body size, but the wolf was slowly increasing in size. Between 300 and 250 ka, the wolf became the dominant dog species and took a niche occupied until then by the lycaon. Because of competition, C. alpinus decreased in body size and adapted to hunting and living in forest, mountain and highland environments.
