In this paper we present 73 short mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences obtained from 30 brown bear (Ursus arctos) and 56 cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) samples in several cave sites of Northwestern Iberian Peninsula (Galicia and Asturias), of Holocene and Pleistocene ages. The technique used was PCR ampl...
