Accessory antlers in male Cervidae
Zeitschrift für Jagdwissenschaft, 2002Accessory (supernumerary) antlers are an infrequent phenomenon in male cervids. These bony protuberances grow mostly from permanent pedicles, which developed in response to a repeated or a severe trauma to frontal, nasal or parietal bones. They regularly undergo seasonal mineralization, casting and regrowth and may persist for many years.

1990
Old World cervoids predominate in Southern and Eastern Asia: Of the 33 species (Groves & Grubb 1987), 13 are tropical Asiatic, 13 are Sino-Himalayan (as defined by Vaurie 1972) or are restricted to the flood plains of China’s majorrivers, and only seven are Palearctic in overall distribution.

DNA Probes for Identification of Cervidae
1992DNA fingerprinting provides the potential for genetic individualization within a given species. Current DNA fingerprinting methods utilize cross-reacting human probes to detect highly polymorphic sequences found in animal species. However, since the DNA fingerprints are not species-specific, additional tests are necessary to determine the species of ...

Elastic properties of the feet of deer (Cervidae)
Journal of Zoology, 1986Dynamic tests have been performed on the feet of deer, and on tendons removed from the feet, to determine their elastic properties. The results have been used to calculate the strain energy stored in each foot while it is on the ground in a fast galloping stride. This is compared with an estimate of the work done by the leg, and the energy‐saving r&

Some Remarks on Deer (Cervidae) in Ancient Egypt
The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, 1987The evidence for deer (Cervidae) in ancient Egypt is reviewed briefly. The question of whether deer ever existed in the wild as an element of the Egyptian fauna, or were only known from rare exotic imports, cannot be conclusively answered yet. It is quite likely, however, based upon the records of the Egyptians themselves, that deer were native ...
