| Abstract |
This paper summarizes knowledge on the Holocene malacological record of the Doñana National Park, the largest nature reserve in Europe. It includes more than 50 species of bivalves and gastropods, mostly marine, being the common cockle Cerastoderma edule the most abundant during the middle and late Holocene. The record of these groups, the dating of the numerous cores that contain them, and the ecology of the species allows us to understand the paleogeographic evolution of this park, dominated by tidal marshes and tidal channels during the early Holocene, later flooded during the Holocene transgressive maximum. The last 5 kyr are marked in the area by the filling of an increasingly limited brackish lagoon, whose sedimentary record includes bioclastic layers from high-energy events. |
