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

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