Body Mass Estimates for European Bovidae from Miocene to Pleistocene

Body mass estimations in kilograms for several taxa of the Bovidae family. The data covers a temporal range from the Miocene to the Pleistocene epochs across Europe. It was authored by Leonardo Sorbelli and last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling body size evolution in Bovidae based on estimated mass over geological time.
• Analyzing correlations between body mass and environmental changes during the Miocene to Pleistocene in Europe.
• Comparing body mass distributions across different Bovidae taxa mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• The file size is 45.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
