Abstract
Los cambios climáticos que ocurrieron durante el Pleistoceno tuvieron un efectoprofundo sobre las faunas y floras. Ante dichos cambios, las especies se vieron forzadasa adaptarse, a modificar sus áreas de distribución, o se extinguieron. En Europa, laspenínsulas mediterráneas jugaron un papel destacado dentro de esta dinámicabiogeográfica, como refugios desde los que se recolonizó el resto del continente o comofocos de endemismo. Existen dos vías principales para documentar estos procesos, biena partir de los datos genéticos o bien a partir del registro fósil.En la península ibérica, existen pocos trabajos de índole biogeográfica basados en elregistro fósil para el Pleistoceno, y solo algunos de ellos se centran en losmicromamíferos. En esta Tesis, se pretende realizar algunas aportaciones a labiogeografía de la península durante el final del Pleistoceno a partir del registro fósil demicromamíferos, especialmente del procedente de los yacimientos de Pinilla del Valle(Madrid). Estos yacimientos son uno de los conjuntos con mayor diversidad y riquezaespecífica en micromamíferos de toda la península ibérica...

There are two main ways todocument these processes, either from the genetic data or from the fossil record.In the Iberian Peninsula, there are few biogeographical studies based on the fossil recordfor the Pleistocene, and only some of them focus on micromammals. In this Thesis, weintend to contribute to the study of the biogeography of the peninsula during the end ofthe Pleistocene from the fossil record of small mammals, and particularly from thefossil record of the Pinilla del Valle sites (Madrid). This set of sites is one of the mostdiverse and richest in small mammal species of the whole Iberian Peninsula...
