Dental wear and grit ingestion in extant and extinct bears from Northern Spain
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The dental morphology of the cave bear Ursus spelaeus (Rosenmuller & Heinroth, 1794) indicates its specialisation as a vegetation eater. Although vegetal matter plays also an important role in the diet of most ... -
Description of pathological conditions in the skeleton of an adult male brown bear Ursus arctos from the Cantabrian range of mountains (Reserva Nacional de Caza de Riaño, León)
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] In this paper we describe with detail the pathological conditions found on the skeleton of an adult male brown bear from the Cantabrian Mountains. This specimen shows a great number of pathologies, some of ... -
Cave bear worship in the Palaeolithic
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] As a result of detailed discussion under different points of view, this study has neither endorsed evidence of any early belief system nor of cave bear worship. All relevant conceptions of that kind are either ... -
Pleistocene small cave bear (Ursus rossicus) from the South Siberia, Russia
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The skull, mandibles and cheek teeth of U. Rossicus from four localities of the South Siberia are examined. This species inhabited the steppe regions in early Middle and Late Pleistocene. By odontological ... -
Cave bear's diet: a new hypothesis based on stable isotopes
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The Ursus spelaeus diet has always been a controversial topic in Paleontology. Both, morphometric and isotopic studies, have raised the hypothesis of herbivorism for this extinct ursid that belongs to the order ... -
Descripción y puesta a punto de un simulador de lluvia de campo para estudios de escorrentía superficial y erosión del suelo
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The present paper describes the design, construction, calibration and operation of a spray rainfall simulator . The design of the plots used for the purpose of this study is also described in order to determine ... -
Efecto de las propiedades hidráulicas del suelo sobre la respuesta hidrológica calculada por LISEM 5.0
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] LISEM model (Limburg Soil Erosion Model) is actually being developped in order to perform dynamic simulations of surface runoff and erosion in catchments. This model is also proposed as analysis support system ... -
Archaic and recent Ursus spelaeus forms from Lombardy and Venetia Region (North Italy)
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] Some Ursus spelaeus Rosenmüller-Heinroth, 1784 cranial and mandibular remains coming from Northern Italy (Lombardy Region -Buco dell’Orso Cave, Laglio, Como-) and from Venetia Region (Cerè, S. Donà di Lamon and ... -
Identification of ambiguous fossil bone remains following 13C and 15N isotopic signals on bone collagen
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] In this paper we deal with an useful application of isotopic studies on fossil bone remains. Following δ1 3C and δ1 5N signals recorded in bone collagen, it is possible to classify into the proper taxon some ... -
Análisis microestructural de caolinitas y génesis de caolines en el Macizo Ibérico
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] Mineralogical, geochemical and XRD microstructural characterization for different groups of argillized materials of the Iberian Massif have been performed; the variability and correllation of these characteristics ... -
Geostatistical interpolation of topographical field data in order to obtain a DEM of a small forest catchment in Northwest Spain
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] This article gives an example of the elaboration of a digital elevation model (DEM) with the aid of geostatistics, using the case of a small experimental catchment near Arcos de la Condesa in Galicia, Spain. A ... -
Cave Bear ancestors
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The lineage of the cave bear Ursus deningeri--> U. Spelaeus is well known, but to draw a limit in this evolution is not easy. The real difficulty is met when this cave bear lineage has to be linked to its ... -
