“…El substantiu llop marí forma part de sis topònims valencians: Cova del Llop Marí a Benidorm, El Campello, Tabarca i Xàbia, i també Coveta del Llop Marí a Benidorm i Xàbia. A més, a Torrevella, territori valencià de predomini lingüístic castellà des del segle XVII, existia una Cala del Lobo Marino, com consta en documentació de 1789 (Pujol, 2012).…”

Monachus monachus is the only member of the Phocidae family native to the Mediterranean. Its presence has been established from the first written texts having to do with navigation, such as the Odyssey, to the latest publications on marine fauna. As to the denomination of the animal in Catalan, the term vell marí (‘old mariner’) has been documented from the 13th century until now. However, from the 15th century onwards we find other concurrent denominations that have restricted the territorial extension of the original form. Through time, forms such as bellmarí, llop de mar (‘sea wolf’), llop marí (‘marine wolf’), foca (‘seal’), bou marí (‘sea oxen’), lleona marina (‘sea lioness’), porc marí (‘sea pig’), ca marí (‘sea dog’) and vaca marina (‘sea cow’) have appeared. The study of these forms, of their semantic motivation and the contrast with the denominations in other Romance languages offer valuable information on the vision that coast dwellers had of this marine mammal and on the contributions to the Mediterranean lexical flow of each human community.

The development and consolidation of the "huerta" (an agricultural system of irrigated fields) of Orihuela (Alicante, Spain) involved a series of historical changes in the ecosystem that have determined the configuration of the fauna associated with it in time. Focusing on the Medieval period (13 th to 16 th centuries), the sociocultural factors that caused these changes and their impact on fauna during this period are analyzed in this study. For this we have conducted a review of various sources that can reconstruct the most significant processes in the evolution of the landscape and wildlife of the area. To a large extent, the variety of environments that have historically been part of this territory, now much more homogeneous, are the source of its high animal diversity. RÉSUMÉ Évolution historique de la faune médiévale du Bas Segura, province d'Alicante (Espagne).Le développement et la consolidation de la « huerta » (plaine irriguée et cultivée) de Orihuela (Alicante, Espagne) a impliqué une série de changements historiques de l'écosystème qui ont déterminé la configuration de la faune qui leur est associée à travers le temps. En se centrant sur l'époque médiévale (XIII e -XVI e siècles), cette étude analyse les facteurs socioculturels qui ont provoqué ces changements et leurs répercussions sur la faune de la région pendant cette période. Dans ce but, nous avons peu à peu reconstruit les processus les plus significatifs de l'évolution du paysage et la faune du territoire. La diversité des milieux qui, au cours de l'histoire, ont fait partie de ce territoire, beaucoup plus homogène de nos jours, est en grande partie à l'origine de leur grande diversité animale.
