2021, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, PalaeoecologyCitation Excerpt :For instance, during the late Quaternary glacial periods, the Balkans, Iberia, Italian peninsula and Transcaucasia became refugial areas, as the northern latitudes became unsuitable for the survival of Palearctic species (Tyrberg, 1991; Sánchez Marco, 2004; Pellegrino et al., 2014; Drovetski et al., 2018; Raković et al., 2019). Lastly, fossil birds from archaeological sites could also provide insights on subsistence strategies and technological skills of archaic human populations and detail the characteristics of the landscape that they exploited (Blasco and Peresani, 2016). Despite the great potential of this field, paleornithology is quite neglected, probably because of the paucity of paleobiologists specialised in the identification of bird bones and due to the limited diffusion of bird skeletal reference collections.
