“…Brown bear remains have also been recovered in Paviland Cave (Goat's Hole), UK, dated to 17 670 ± 140 cal. bp (Aldhouse‐Green & Pettitt 1998), these latter suggesting a cold tundra‐steppe environment. Thus, the fossil record does indicate a wide geographical range of brown bears across mainland Europe before and during the LGM.…”

Models for the development of species distribution in Europe typically invoke restriction in three temperate Mediterranean refugia during glaciations, from where recolonization of central and northern Europe occurred. The brown bear, Ursus arctos, is one of the taxa from which this model is derived. Sequence data generated from brown bear fossils show a complex phylogeographical history for western European populations. Long-term isolation in separate refugia is not required to explain our data when considering the palaeontological distribution of brown bears. We propose continuous gene flow across southern Europe, from which brown bear populations expanded after the last glaciation.

“…But it may be assumed that these distributions are partially biased by historical archaeological practices (regional or national) relative to 14C dating. For example, the Paviland cave, which contained a few hundred tools [9], has produced 54 14C dates [1], while the Madeleine cave, with thousands of tools in 23 principal layers, has produced only 4 dates [8]. This has even led to a paradox in which the most important archeological sites of the Upper Paleolithic, in terms of the quantity of spacee time information, undoubtedly provide proportionally fewer 14C dates than the less important sites.…”

We present a short synthesis of the Pleistocene distribution dynamics and phylogeographic recolonization hypotheses for two temperate European mammal species, the red deer (Cervus elaphus) and the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), for which high‐resolution patterns of fossil evidence and genetic data sets are available. Such data are critical to an understanding of the role of hypothesized glacial refugia. Both species show a similar pattern: a relatively wide distribution in the southern part of Central Europe 60,000–25,000 years ago, and a strong restriction to areas in southern Europe for nearly 10,000 years during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the early Late Glacial (25,000–14,700 years ago). With the beginning of Greenland Interstadial 1 (Bølling/Allerød warming, c. 14,700–11,600 years ago) a sudden range expansion into Central Europe is visible, but the colonization of most of Central Europe, including the northern European Lowlands, only began in the early Holocene. In a European context, regions where the species were distributed during the LGM and early Late Glacial are most relevant as potential origins of recolonization processes, because during these c. 10,000 years distribution ranges were smaller than at any other time in the Late Quaternary. As far as the present distribution of temperate species and their genetic lineages is concerned, so‐called ‘cryptic refugia’ are important only if the species are actually confirmed there during the LGM, as otherwise they could not possibly have contributed to the recolonization that eventually resulted in the present distribution ranges.
