The phylogenetic relationships among 11 species of the Cervidae family were inferred from an analysis of male vocalizations. Eighteen characters, including call types (e.g. antipredator barks, mating loudcalls) and acoustic characteristics (call composition, fundamental frequency and formant frequencies), were used for phylogeny inference. The resulting topology and the phylogenetic consistency of behavioral characters were compared with those of current molecular phylogenies of Cervidae and with separate and simultaneous parsimony analyses of molecular and behavioral data. Our results indicate that male vocalizations constitute plausible phylogenetic characters in this taxon. Evolutionary scenarios for the vocal characters are discussed in relation with associated behaviors.
通过对雄性发声的分析推断了鹿科11个物种之间的系统发育关系。18个特征，包括叫声类型（如反捕食者吠叫、交配大声呼叫）和声学特征（叫声组成、基频和共振峰频率），被用于系统发育推断。将所得的拓扑结构和行为特征的系统发育一致性与当前鹿科分子系统发育以及分子和行为数据的单独和同时简约分析结果进行了比较。我们的结果表明，雄性发声在该分类单元中构成了合理的系统发育特征。结合相关行为讨论了发声特征的进化情景。
