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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Dependencia espacial de datos topográficos a escala de ladera y pequeña cuenca agrícola
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] Landscapes are characterized by both, random and non-random variability components. Random variability of topographical data, summarized by the semivariance, may be used to elaborate DEMs. The main objective of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Disponibilidad de macro- y micronutrientes en un suelo de cultivo de Mabegondo (A Coruña)
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)Abstract] The Mehlich–3 extraction reagent recommended for use on a wide range of acid soil types was utilised for extracting in a simple step, both major elements (P, Ca, Mg) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn,). The ... -
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 ... -
Efectos del encalado sobre los cambios físico-químicos y químicos en suelos inundados
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)Rice growth in wetlands or paddy soils is economically important in Latin America.Lime amendment is becoming a conventional practice for rice production in this area. A field study was conducted to compare changes induced ... -
Estruturas Filonianas do Paleozóico Superior da Serra do Marão (N de Portugal); o resultado de extensão intraorogénica?
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] In the Marão mountain occur hercynian mafic veins cutting the Schistose Formation of the Landeilian age. The geochemistry of these rocks present high concentrations on Ti ,P, Zr, Nb, Ba, and REE (Ti O2= 1.23-1,39 ... -
