German scientists from the University of Bayroitsky found that the sparks of the forest elephant (Palaeloxodon Antiquus), a kind of climate of Europe, which was still lost 11,000 years ago, are suitable for the habitats. The study has been published here magazine Borders of Biogeography (FBG).
About 700 thousand years ago, Sobspan elephants appeared in Europe. The species survived a few glaciers before they died because of the pressure of people.
The research group appointed fossil findings to the hot or cold stage from all over Europe and used the climatic models of these periods directly to rebuild a elephant ecological niche with teeth.
Comparison with modern climate data shows that elephants with direct teeth can still live in Europe today. The climate in Western and Central Europe will be particularly appropriate, except for mountain regions such as the Alps and the Caucasus.
Fossil data shows that P. Antiquus prefers open and semi – -left views. These giants created the environment by supporting mosaic landscapes that contribute to biological diversity.
Frank Gaiser, the leading writer of the study, said, “Modern ecosystems of Europe were founded under the influence of Megafauna we lost,” he said.
