Carnivores (Mammalia, Carnivora) of the Urals in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene

摘要: Abstract Carnivore assemblages from localities of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene Northern, Middle Southern Urals were studied. Analysis species composition carnivore fauna was performed for seven chronological periods: MIS 5e, 3, mid-MIS2 (LGT), late 2 (BAIC), early 1 (Preboreal-Boreal), mid-MIS (Atlantic-Subboreal), (Subatlantic). In Urals, changes in occurring during Holocene. Faunal included European, Siberian European–Siberian faunal complexes throughout Holocene, dominated by complexes. The general trend is represented a decreasing percentage European complex an increasing those complex. has changed due to two main reasons, range shifts extinction. Sixteen out 24 that inhabited underwent shifts. ranges shifted different directions: reduction, increased fluctuations. several have not changed. Three became extinct.
