“…The north-south size gradient of the Iberian goats does not seem to be a temporary case of Bergmann's rule, but seems rather to be due to the possible abundance of trophic resources in two contrasting environments: the Eurosiberian (temperate and fertile) and the Mediterranean (arid and poor). The increase in size that took place in C. pyrenaica in the interglacial period (MIS5) at Cova Negra (Pérez-Ripoll 1990; Table 5, Figure 8) or during the Holocene (García-González 2012) would support the hypothesis of the abundance of resources.…”

During the Upper Pleistocene the archaeo-paleontological sites in the Iberian Peninsula are located mainly on the coasts. Here we present for the first time a paleoenvironmental proxy for Upper Pleistocene locality (MIS3) that is in the interior peninsular, in the Moncayo Massif (Zaragoza). This is actually the boundary between Mediterranean and Eurosiberian climatic-regions. The present study is based in the site ungulates: Capra pyrenaica, wich is bigger in size than current and fossil from Mediterranean area. The horses have a small size, which is similar to that of the horses from Fontainhas and Casares. Significantly lesser in the number of rests, are the roe deer, the southern chamois, and the auroch. The study and comparison of the faunal assemblage of the locality of Los Rincones, with other sites of the Iberian MIS 3 shows a cluster of sites in the southern Peninsular, though separated, due to the abundance of C. pyrenaica. The association of Los Rincones is similar to the southern peninsular sites such as Nerja, Gorham Cave, Cova Beneito, Zafarraya. The ungulate assemblage of Los Rincones represents a landscape with temperate climate, presence of steppe, and patches of forest, similar to the current landscape surrounding the cavity today.

“…The systematic identification of this subspecies and its relationship to its phylogenetic neighbors are still not completely clear (García-González 2012 living subspecies C. p. victoriae and C. p. hispanica. C. p. pyrenaica presents an equidistant genetic position between living subspecies and C. ibex (a taxonomic neighbor species from the Alps) (Manceau et al 1999).…”

This comprehensive species-specific chapter covers all aspects of the mammalian biology, including paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology, habitat, diet, mortality, and behavior. The economic significance and management of mammals and future challenges for research and conservation are addressed as well. The chapter includes a distribution map, a photograph of the animal, and a list of key literature.
