The Mammal Paleoecology Group carries out research on the factors that determine the composition, structure and diversity of the mammal communities analysing present-day communities and fossil associations from a macroecological perspective. The patterns present in recent communities let us propose models and hypothesis that can be confronted with paleontological data.
The evolution of the structure, diversity and composition of the communities of the European Pleistocene and its relation with environmental, biotic and abiotic factors, as well as historical events, is of especial interest. The aim is to establish theoretical models of evolution of ecologic communities that may be confronted with paleontological data of the Pleistocene in Eurasia.
