Preface
Abstract:
In January, 1991 the European Science Foundation (ESF) created a Network on Quaternary Mammalian Faunas. Among the goals of this network was to organize a series of workshops dealing with important aspects of the evolution of mammalian faunas during the Quaternary. Each of these workshops has included 20-25 invited participants, each of whom was asked to contribute to a given topic. The first workshop was held in Andernach, Germany in October, 1991 (local organizer W . v. KOENIGSWALD) and dealt with the topic Mammalian migration and dispersal events in the European Quaternary. It has since been published under this title as Courier Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg 153: 1-228 (W .v. KOENIGSWALD & L. WERDELIN, eds). The second workshop, on Modes and tempos of evolution in the Quaternary was held in Dijon, France in September 1992 (local organizer J. CHALINE). This has been published in Quaternary International 19: 1-116 (J. CHALINE & L. WERDELIN, eds.). The third workshop took place in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain in April 1993 (local organizer J. AGUSTÍ) and was on the topic Influence of climate on faunal evolution during the Quaternary. The present volume records the proceedings of this third meeting.
