This research aims to investigate the relationships between climate change and faunal
dynamics in south-west Europe, disentangling the asynchronous and diachronous dispersal …

For the first time, the general trends of large mammal fauna changes in SW Europe during
the Middle Pleistocene Revolution (MPR) have been compared with the coeval vegetation …

Biochronology is the most widely used method for organizing the successions of continental
vertebrate faunas in geological time and for allowing the correlation of continental deposits …
