内容説明

This volume provides the first full description and analysis of the postcranial skeleton of the Tertiary canid subfamily Borophagine. Borophagines have been stereotyped as noncursorial, bone-crushing scavengers, but comparisons with Recent digitigrade carnivores reveal a surprising diversity of habit among borophagines. The author relates functional characteristics to various aspects of borophagine paleoecology, including habitat, diet, social organization, and extinction.
