Annual Report 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 March 2019 __________________________________ ANNUAL REPORT 2018 INSTITUT CATALÀ DE PALEONTOLOGIA MIQUEL CRUSAFONT DAVID M. ALBA Director © Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont 2019 Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Patrons: Member of: __________________________________ Annual Report 2018 Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont WELCOME TO THE ICP Greetings from the Director _______________________________________________________________________ At the ICP we are convinced that Paleontology, as a discipline halfway between Biology and Geology, should make fundamental contributions not only to the history of life, but also to evolutionary theory. Therefore, the research performed at the ICP clearly follows a paleobiological approach. In other words, for us it is not enough to know how past living beings were and what are their kinship relationships with extant ones. We also aim to know how they lived, how they moved, what they ate, how they developed and reproduced, how they interacted with one another, what environment they inhabited and, ultimately, how past interactions between organisms and environment have shaped the ecosystems that we know today. It is precisely the access to deep time (or geological time, the one which is measured in millions and millions of years), by means of the study of fossil remains, what provides Paleobiology with a unique perspective of utmost importance for understanding why and how living beings have evolved in relation to the environment than surrounds them through Earth’s history. For our research team, it is important to perform all the various steps of paleontological research, beginning with fieldwork (excavations and samplings), continuing with the study and analysis of fossil remains, and ending with the publication and dissemination of the results. In these regards, the basic task of description and taxonomic identification of the remains is still an essential aspect of our work. However, more and more, the study and analysis of the fossils is carried out using more sophisticated and computer-assisted techniques. Most noteworthy among them are virtual paleontology and three-dimensional visualization techniques, such as X-ray computed tomography, which enables the non-invasive study of the internal anatomy preserved by fossil remains. Also particularly remarkable are the analytical techniques allowing for quantitative comparisons and analyses, such as 3D geometric morphometrics, phylogenetic reconstruction software, or numerical analyses of paleobiodiversity dynamics, just to mention a few examples. The specialized technicians of the ICP, in turn, perform a fundamental step between fieldwork and research, consisting in the preparation and conservation of the fossil remains that constitute the paleontological collections of our Institute. These collections are continuously growing thanks to the excavations and samplings performed by our researchers. However, before being able to study a particular specimen, it is required that specialized technicians carry out a process of paleontological preparation (cleaning, consolidation and, if necessary, reintegration). The process of paleontological preparation not only enables the manipulation of fossils, but it also guarantees their proper conservation once deposited in the collections. This process is of utmost significance, given that fossils are our main source of data. In this regard, the ICP aims to become the benchmark center in Catalonia with regard to 5 Annual Report 2018 Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont the conservation of the paleontological heritage of vertebrates. This is why we offer our technical advice, in this and any other paleontological matter, to those institutions and companies that request it. Besides paleontological research, preparation and conservation, at the ICP we further place particular importance to outreach activities to popularize paleontological heritage. In this regard, exhibiting the fossils is not enough; it is required to disseminate to the general public our research results, so as to make understandable the stories that hide in all these petrified bones. Transmitting paleontological knowledge to society, especially based on the finds and research results of our investigators, is for us a heartwarming moral obligation. In the words of the late North-American paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould: “Science is an integral part of culture. It’s not this foreign thing, done by an arcane priesthood. It’s one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition”. This is why at the ICP we have the vocation to make it available to those who are interested the conceptual and material tools that enable a cultural and ludic use of paleontological heritage. And we do so not only by means of the exhibition halls of the ICP Museum, located at the center of Sabadell, but also by collaborating in the establishment and management of a network of local paleontological interpretation centers all over the country. Moreover, at these times of rampant antiscientific and creationist offensive, we feel a duty to help disseminating one of the most relevant scientific facts to comprehend the place of human being in nature: organic evolution. I do not want to finish without addressing those youngsters that, captivated by the secrets of evolution, perceive the grandeur in this view of life (the one alluded by Charles Darwin on the last sentence of the Origin of Species) and aim to devote themselves to Paleontology. Becoming a researcher, from any discipline, is not an easy task... It requires a lot of study, tenacity, and sacrifice. And yet, if your fascination for fossils and your curiosity for evolution transcend any logical argument, if it is already too late for you, then I can only advise you to let yourselves be guided by your vocation. That you get trained in life and earth sciences, that you be ambitious and realistic at the same time, and that you try to put your talent at the service of paleontological research. You, as young people, are the future, not only of the ICP, but of the paleontological profession and of the scientific community as a whole. And only you, if you choose the correct questions, might hope to answer the multiple enigmas about the history of life that thus far remain unsettled. With my warmest greetings, David M.

  • Chapter 1 - Introduction
    EURASIAN MIDDLE AND LATE MIOCENE HOMINOID PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY AND THE GEOGRAPHIC ORIGINS OF THE HOMININAE by Mariam C. Nargolwalla A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by M. Nargolwalla (2009) Eurasian Middle and Late Miocene Hominoid Paleobiogeography and the Geographic Origins of the Homininae Mariam C. Nargolwalla Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2009 Abstract The origin and diversification of great apes and humans is among the most researched and debated series of events in the evolutionary history of the Primates. A fundamental part of understanding these events involves reconstructing paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic patterns in the Eurasian Miocene; a time period and geographic expanse rich in evidence of lineage origins and dispersals of numerous mammalian lineages, including apes. Traditionally, the geographic origin of the African ape and human lineage is considered to have occurred in Africa, however, an alternative hypothesis favouring a Eurasian origin has been proposed. This hypothesis suggests that that after an initial dispersal from Africa to Eurasia at ~17Ma and subsequent radiation from Spain to China, fossil apes disperse back to Africa at least once and found the African ape and human lineage in the late Miocene. The purpose of this study is to test the Eurasian origin hypothesis through the analysis of spatial and temporal patterns of distribution, in situ evolution, interprovincial and intercontinental dispersals of Eurasian terrestrial mammals in response to environmental factors. Using the NOW and Paleobiology databases, together with data collected through survey and excavation of middle and late Miocene vertebrate localities in Hungary and Romania, taphonomic bias and sampling completeness of Eurasian faunas are assessed.

    ELS MOLINS FARINERS 1 LES MASIES DEL MUNICIPI DE LES PILES per Salvador Palau Rafecas "El Galo" ELS MOLINS FARINERS El municipi de Les Piles forma part de la conca fluvial de I'Alt Gaia. A la xarxa hidrografica del riu Gaia i els seus petits afluents, als segles Xli-XIII s'hi fonamenta la cabdal i necessaria industria farinera d'antany, en la qual la for(;a motriu de I'ai- gua n'era essencial. Els molins fariners eren enginys hidraulics que tenien per finalitat la molta de cereals, sigui per a bestiar o per a I'elemental prefabricació del pa. El seu funcionament consistia en encabir un cert volum d'aigua en una bassa. que sempre i en els molins que coneixem era a frec del propi edifici on es feia la molta. Préviament I'aigua era desviada del curs del riu mitjancant una resclosa l. a través d'una sequia. conduida fins a la bassa, dintre d'ella i a frec de la paret del molí s'hi troba el cacau (especie de pou) per on I'aigua hi baixava, fins a la paret més fonda de I'edifici just al lloc on hi havia el desguas i el rodet -roda horitzontal formada per departaments inclinats i concaus (aleps) -9eneralment de fusta, algun de pedra i més modernament de ferro.
