Abstract
Palaeoecological analysis of mammalian faunas and evolution of environments in South of France during the Pleistocene. The study of mammalian faunas had widely contributed to the knowledge of paleoenvironments during the Quaternary. The cenogram method, a graphical representation of the mammalian community structure, permis to reconstruct the environments and to infer the climatic conditions. This method has the advantage of taking in account the whole mammals present in a fossil locality. This method applied on several faunas of the South of France had shown different phases in the evoulution of environments and climate during the Pleistocene
