Stratigraphie problems relating to the division of the Mousterian level Cj and Upper Palaeolithic industries at Gatzarria were encountered during this research. However, a new study of lithic index fossils indicated sufficient stratigraphie separation of the artifacts to permit the selection of a secure sample of Mousterian faunal remains. This sample suggests that red deer were by far the main species encountered near Gatzarria. However, even the lowest-ranked ungulate species, roe deer and chamois, were sometimes included in the maximum diet breadth. No small game component is in evidence. The long bone assemblage suggests less stringent culling decisions at kill sites relative to other late Mousterian sites. Utilization of marrow was intensive. The Gatzarria data conform with general patterns of resource use during the Mousterian in western France. Keywords: Zooarchaeology, subsistence, foraging theory, Neandertals, Mousterian, Middle Palaeolithic, Gatzarria Cave, Atlantic Pyrenees 11 Acknowledgements To begin, I would like to thank my supervisor Eugène Morin for his guidance and instruction over the past two years. Above all, I must express my gratitude to Eugène for knowing that only by continually pushing my limits would I continually improve my skills as a researcher and writer—and for being willing to invest the time and effort required to nurture my progress. Secondly, my committee members, James Conolly and Susan Jamieson, provided helpful comments, direction, and encouragement as my research developed. Besides supplying the maps in Chapters 3 and 7, James also provided a steady flow of interesting questions about zooarchaeological sampling and statistics that encouraged me to think more deeply about my treatment of faunal data. Dr. R. Lee Lyman, from the University of Missouri, graciously accepted to serve as my external examiner and provided a number of helpful suggestions that have been incorporated into this final draft. My friends and colleagues here at Trent University, including, among many others, Chelsee Arbour, Kimberly Jankuta, Cat Robertson, Melissa Wallace, and Kristine Williams also deserve thanks for their support—both academic and social. In particular, however, I am indebted to Miranda Brunton, who has been my steadfast companion during long hours in the office over the past two years, and, outside of work, a genuinely considerate friend, and confidante; as well as Celise Chilcote, with whom I shared not only an apartment wall but also many frustrations and successes. Further away, in Edmonton, I would like to thank Elizabeth Sawchuk and Benjamin Flanagan for stimulating conversations about anthropology (and other things), and Elizabeth a second time for scrupulously editing scholarship proposals and more. in Rob Losey, at the University of Alberta, was instrumental in getting me interested and involved in zooarchaeological research. Carleen, Mom, and Dad—thank you for your emotional support, for keeping me company, for listening to me talk endlessly about archaeology, and (especially Carleen) for making me laugh. As for my summer in France, I would like to thank everyone who was part of the productive and enriching experience I spent in Les Eyzies. Eugène once again deserves thanks for his help and support, especially for a trip across France during a stratigraphie crisis. Everyone at the Musée National de Préhistoire was welcoming and extremely helpful to me. I would like to thank Jean-Jacques Cleyet-Merle for the permission to work with the collections; Stéphane Madeleine for his assistance with many identifications; André Morala for his contribution to the study of the lithic material (and for his patience with the bones scattered all over the lab during the summer); Nicolas Audebert for his help washing the bones; and Bernard Nicolas and Peggy Jacquement for their logistical support. I also greatly appreciated and learned much from my discussions with the researchers and students who spent time at the museum and at "la Maison Bordes" over the summer. Laura Eizenberg kindly contributed her data on the Proto- Aurignacian lithic industry at Gatzarria, and Marie-Cécile Soulier shared her insights regarding the fauna of the Pyrenean Middle Palaeolithic sites. Finally, I am grateful to Julien Alibert, Marie Fibule, Yann Goasguen, Nicolas Hecht, and Thibault Morala who warmly welcomed me in Dordogne and with whom I shared an unforgettable summer. This study would not have been possible without financial support from a number of sources. My research was funded by a Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship (Master's) iv to myself, and a SSHRC Standard Research Grant to Eugène Morin. I would also like to thank Trent University and Sandi Carr for the scholarships I received during my time at Trent. ?

ZooKeys 634: 137–150. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.634.10207 Abstract In this paper five datasets are described that provide information about records of mammals in the Verte- brate Collection of the Museum of Zoology of the University of Navarra (MZNA-VERT). The datasets contain 3,466 records belonging to 20 species of mammals sampled across the transition zone between the Atlantic and Mediterranean biogeographical regions (north Iberian Peninsula). The datasets include both distributional data (georeferenced records) and basic biometric data of most of the vouchered specimens stored in the museum facilities. The samples originated mainly within research projects and PhD theses carried out in the former department of Zoology and Ecology of the University of Navarra between 1982 and 2011. The Darwin Core Archive Format datasets are accessible through GBIF.

  • Comparative Phylogeography As an Integrative Approach to Understand Human and Other Mammal
    Comparative phylogeography as an integrative approach to understand human and other mammal distributions in Europe Luis Oxala García Rodríguez A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2019 This page intentionally left blank II This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. III Comparative phylogeography as an integrative approach to understand human and other mammal distributions in Europe. Oxala García Rodríguez Abstract Phylogeography refers to the phylogenetic analysis of organisms in the context of their geographical distribution. The analytical methods build phylogenetic trees and networks from haplotypes in order to investigate the history of the organisms. Phylogeographic studies have revealed the importance of climatic oscillations and the role of the Last Glacial Maximum (27,500 to 16,000 years ago) with the formation of refugia where distinct haplotypes originate in Europe. The population expansions and contractions into these refugial areas have driven the evolution of different lineages but the similarities and differences between species are still poorly understood. This thesis aims to gain a better understanding of the phylogeographical processes of different mammals’ species in Europe. This was done by collecting published mitochondrial DNA control region sequences of 29 different species and analysing them individually and comparatively. This research presents a standardised way of understanding phylogeography from the mitochondrial DNA perspective to improve the comparison of studies in the field.

To evaluate the maturity and sexual activity in males the cytological analysis of the testicular content, minor and major diameter of the testicle and length of the seminal vasicle were considered. In the females, the State of the vulva, development and vascularisation of Uterus and ovaries, and embryos and placental scars were registered. The presence of spermatozoids is constant in adult individuals throughout the year. The seminal vesicles and the testicles vary considerably in size throughout the year. The minimum is reached in December and January, and the maximum in June. Between March and October all adult females are sexually active. The sexual activity is lowest in December-January with values around 35^5 %. The presence of pregnant females is limited to the February-October period. The average litter size is 3.31 ± 1.20, n=19.

Diagnosis La rata de agua se diferencia de las formas ibéricas de rata topera (Arvicola terrestris) por su aspecto más robusto y sus mayores dimensiones corporales y craneales. La longitud de la cola supera siempre la mitad de la longitud cabeza-cuerpo. Se distingue también de los ejemplares ibéricos de A. terrestris por poseer el cráneo relativamente más alargado y porque los nasales son, en su tercio anterior, casi igual de anchos que la región rostral en el punto de contacto con los arcos cigomáticos (Figura 1). Los incisivos superiores son ortodontos (Figura 2), el bucle anterior del M1 está ligeramente aplanado en su parte anterior y forma un ángulo agudo en la parte lingual (Figura 3).
