REFERENCES

The aim of this review is to list all references (including keywords) of articles published in the past year. The articles will have to be relevant to our European colleagues (no references of (semi)popular papers, conference abstracts or papers written in a language which is difficult to understand by most of our colleagues [Dutch for instance]). Some interesting articles will be treated more extensively by the presentation of the abstract and/or, if possible, some figures. The papers should present information on topics with a palaeontological character (such as biostratigraphy, taxonomy, evolution, taphonomy and methodology). However, not only papers on mammalian palaeontology will be discussed in the Newsletter but also articles from other disciplines, which are relevant to our field, will be presented.

In the Pleistocene of Eurasia three species of Prolagidae, 17 species of Ochotinidae and 16 species of Leporidae are known. The species diversity of lagomorphs gradually increased during the Pleistocene and in the late Pleistocene was the same as Recent. Some relict genera became extinct during the early Pleistocene (Pliopentalagus, Alilepus), others in the Middle Pleistocene (Ochotonoides, Hypolagus and Sericolagus). At least two lagomorphs species became extinct during the Holocene (Prolagus sardus and Ochotona transcaucasica).The Pleistocene was not a critical period in the evolution of Lagomorpha. The extinction was caused by global cooling and was restricted to relict taxa mostly. During the Pleistocene intensive speciation took place in the genera Ochotona, Oryctolagus and Lepus in the Old World, and Sylvilagus in the New World. The Recent time is the period of flourishing and biological progress of phylogenetically young groups of lagomorphs (Ochotona, Leporinae), which started in the late Pliocene and continued during all the Pleistocene.

An analysis of the geographical distribution woolly rhino remains in Northeast Asia is given. Obviously, the ancestor of C. antiquitatis starts to disperse from the Pribaikalie or Transbaikalia territory northward to Southern Yakutia during the Early Pleistocene. In the Middle Pleistocene the woolly rhino was widely distributed from Central to North Yakutia up to Chukotka. Most of the C. antiquitatis finds are dated Late Pleistocene. During that period these mammals inhabited the valleys of practically all the long rivers and watersheds in Northeast Asia. Rhino remains are found in Central Chukotka and on Wrangel Island, but are not yet found in Alaska. Possible causes, preventing the dispersal of the woolly rhino to the New World are discussed.

Three dental fragments and an incomplete first caudal vertebra are shortly described. They were collected from an artificially formed lake, formed by a suction-dredger, from a depth of some 20 m, in sand and gravel deposits of the Weichselian Kreftenheye Formation. One molar fragment is identified as Elephas antiquus; its age is 32500 yBP, a remarkably late dating. The caudal vertebra may also belong to the same species.

A lower hemimandibula of a pantherine cat of Akhalkalaki (south Georgia, Transcaucasia) is re-examinated.The fossil originates from lacustrine sediments of late Lower Pleistocene age (0.9 - 0.8 Ma B.P.) above the Jamarillo polarity subzone. A tooth-by-tooth analysis comparing the fossil with Lower and Middle Pleistocene lions, tigers and jaguars and Holocene southwest Asian lions assigns it to the Eurasian jaguar, Panthera onca gombaszoegensis. Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction indicates a dry, warm meadow- steppe influenced by montane condition, with permanent water odies present. This is consistent with the strong open-water affinities of the modern jaguar. The morphological proximity of South-western and Middle Asian jaguar specimens of late Lower Pleistocene age to P. onca gombaszoegensis remains from Central and Western Europe suggests an extended period of uninterupted contact between the jaguar populations of Europe and Western Asia.

A review of the Middle and Late Pleistocene sites containing remains of snowy owl Nyctea scandiaca in the Urals, European Russia, Siberia and Europe is given. Analyses of the rodent and bird fauna from the European and Siberian Pleistocene Sites allowed to map the southern boundary of the distribution range of snowy owl and to determine the sites that snowy owl visited during seasonal movements to the south. The remains of snowy owl recovered within the rich avifauna in the Ural and Crimean caves are the result of eagle owl hunting activity. It was found that ranges of snowy and eagle owls significantly overlapped in the vast territory of the Middle and Late Periglacial steppes. Since the Günz glacial in Europe and Late Würm glacial in Siberia snowy owl had a high predation pressure from the eagle owl. On the Pleistocene- Holocene boundary the ranges of snowy owl and eagle owl separated, following the formation of modern zonal landscapes.

The dormice from the Zuurland boreholes are described. Despite the scantiness of the material (there are only seven teeth available) it is possible to identify two taxa: Eliomys briellensis n. sp. and Muscardinus pliocaenicus. The finds confirm earlier suggestions that the 42-66m depth range of the Zuurland boreholes contains a faunistic unity and that it can be dated to the Early Pleistocene.

Bone remains of Late Pleistocene lynx (Lynx lynx) from the Kostenki 21 site (Voronezh region, Russia) have been investigated. A fragment of the right mandible with p3, p4, m1 was studied in detail. A comparison with recent lynxes of Eurasia and also with Pleistocene and Villafranchian lynxes was made. Tables of measurements are given. The lynx from Kostenki 21 was a large animal and had sizes and proportions of its lower teeth similar to those typical of recent Lynx lynx from Siberia and Northern Europe. At the same time the weakly expressed metaconid -talonid complex on m1 makes it more similar to the Late Pleistocene lynxes from Western and Central Europe and also to recent forms of Lynx lynx from Central Asia.

Abstract:The description of Sus cf. strozzii remains from the Khapry deposits (UpperPliocene, middle Villafranchian) of the north-east coast of the Sea of Azovis given. Dimensions and parameters of lower dentition are looks like with west European Sus strozzii on the whole. This samples have some primitive teeth's characters, such as - more wide crowns and more elongate raw of premolars, as compared with typical S. strozzii and S. scrofa. This peculiarities may be accounted by area's and morphological diversity. Samples from Khapry and Livenzovka localities allow to consider this species as a typical representatives of eastern European faunas of the Late Pliocene
