ABSTRACT The current diversity and distribution of species and populations have been shaped by the major climatic oscillations during the Quaternary. The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a striking example of the strong effect of past climate changes on the evolutionary history of species, in fact, the alternation of glacial/interglacial cycles has led to

Seashore economies in the Late Paleolithic of southwest Europe: an overview
This article provides a summary of the archeological evidence regarding the exploitation of seashore resources in the European Late Paleolithic, in order to assess if this evidence can point to the existence of societies corresponding to the “storing, seashore hunter-gatherers” as defined by A. Testart. The rise in sea level since that period destroyed
