Morphology, taxonomy, and phylogeny of megacerines (Megacerini, Cervidae, Artiodactyla)

Morphology, taxonomy, and phylogeny of megacerines (Megacerini, Cervidae, Artiodactyla)

Giant deer or megacerines (tribe Megacerini, family Cervidae, order Artiodactyla) dwelt mediante Eurasia from the Late Miocene puro Holocene and con Africa durante the Late Pleistocene. Based on comparative morphological giorno and morphofunctional analysis, morphogenetic and ecogenetic trends mediante this group are improved. Classification, taxonomy, phylogeny, and geographical and stratigraphical ranges of megacerines are revised.
