Dynamics of Northern Eurasian Musk ox and Primitive Bison Ranges During the Second Part of Late Pleistocene – Holocene

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The dynamics of the musk ox and primitive bison ranges during the ten different intervals of the Late Pleistocene – Holocene is analyzed, as well as their changes under the climatic infl uence. The cold-adapted musk ox had the maximum range during LGM and LGT (the coldest intervals of the last glaciation). The more temperate bison had the maximum range during the Denekamp (=Briansk) Interstadial. Bison’ area became signifi cantly smaller during the LGM under the infl uence of cold climate. The velocity of decreasing of musk ox range was higher than decreasing of bison range during the Holocene, what could be explained by progressive warming, uncomfortable for the musk ox. The new 14 C data obtained during this work in Groningen and other radiocarbon laboratories help to reconstruct the distribution of musk ox and primitive bison in Northern Eurasia during last 50 000 years.
