Evolution of Corvids and their Presence in the Neogene and the Quaternary in the Carpathian Basin

Jenő Eugen Kessler

Open full text 8 citations

Abstract

Abstract Corvids are the largest songbirds in Europe. They are known in the avian fauna of Europe from the Miocene, the beginning of the Neogene, and are currently represented by 11 species. Due to their size, they occur more frequently among fossilized material than other types of songbirds, and thus have been examined to the largest extent. In the current article, we present their known evolution and their fossilized taxa in Europe and examine the osteology of extant species.
