The dynamics of the taxonomic diversity of the birds of Cuba during the Late Pleistocene–Holocene is assessed for the first time using material from El Abrón Cave in the western part of the island. The Upper Pleistocene beds of the locality are characterized by a rich taxonomic diversity of birds, including an abundance of waterbirds and open-landscape inhabitants. For the Holocene, a general decrease in taxonomic diversity and a significant increase in the number of remains belonging to representatives of forest faunas (Picidae) are recorded. Our data indicate a significant transformation of landscapes of western Cuba and the faunistic associations of birds at the end of the Quaternary, which is consistent with paleoclimatic data.
