Southeastern Iberian during a stadial phase
Palaeolandscape reconstruction of the southeastern Iberian coastal mountains during a Neanderthal interstadial phase. The similarity to the stadial phase reinforces the concept of glacial refugia as ecologically resilient structures under favourable microclimatic and topographic conditions. Deer, lynx, and rabbits are depicted.
