The allopatric model of biological speciation involves fracturing of a pre-existing species
distribution and subsequent genetic divergence in isolation. Accumulating global evidence …

This review provides a synthesis of the evolution of the Pyrenees since~ 84 Ma and is
uniquely focused on analysing jointly and comparatively its peripheral pro-foreland, retro …

Since the recognition in the mid-19th century that glaciers had been considerably more
extensive than at present, the Quaternary (Pleistocene and Holocene series) has been …

Marked by a progressive increase in the amplitude of climate oscillations, an evolving
waveform, and a shift towards a quasi-100 ky frequency, the Early–Middle Pleistocene …

The Quaternary is synonymous with extensive glaciation of Earth's mid-and high-latitudes.
Although there were local precursors, significant glaciation began in the latest Eocene (ca …

Glacial and periglacial landforms are widespread in the mountains of the Mediterranean
region. The evidence for glacial and periglacial activity has been studied for over 120 years …

Little Ice Age'(LIA) glacier advance has been registered in three of the main Iberian high
mountain areas: Pyrenees, Picos de Europa and Sierra Nevada. During the LIA, three …

A compilation and a critical assessment of the 14C data set available show that the
chronology of glacial events in the Pyrenees is not well constrained. After reviewing the …

The glacial evolution of the Cantabrian Mountains is not well known. Previous studies have
focused on the extent of the glacial maximum and the presence of younger features in …

At the north-western limit of the Mediterranean basin, in the Mediterranean–Oceanic
transition zone, the multidisciplinary study of two palaeolakes: Villaseca and La Mata …
