摘要: This monograph is devoted to the study of giant deer or megacerines (tribe Megacerini, family Cervidae, order Artiodactyla) Late Cenozoic Eurasia. Special attention paid Inner Asia. region, which connected with origin and early stages historical development megacerines, key gaining an insight into their evolution phylogeny, place in food chain, effect on biogeocoenoses. Based revision fossil materials from Upper Miocene-Lower Pleistocene Russia, Mongolia, Tajikistan, new data Tuva, analysis evolution, ecogenesis, diversity dynamics, development, biogeocoenoses, role maintenance homeostasis biosphere changes environments are shown certain basic principles macroevolution discussed.
