In the 1970s, Stephen Jay Gould presented the first extensive data on antler size in the Irish elk and combined these with comparative data from other deer to test the hypothesis that the gigantic antlers were the outcome of a positive allometry that constrained large-bodied deer to have proportionally even larger antlers. He concluded that the Irish elk had antlers as predicted for its size and interpreted this within his emerging framework of developmental constraints as an explanatory factor in evolution. Here we reanalyze antler allometry based on new morphometric data for 57 taxa of the family Cervidae. We also present a new phylogeny for the Cervidae, which we use for comparative analyses. In contrast to Gould, we find that the antlers of Irish elk were larger than predicted from the allometry within the true deer, Cervini, as analyzed by Gould, but follow the allometry across Cervidae as a whole. After dissecting the discrepancy, we reject the allometric-constraint hypothesis because, contrary to Gould, we find no similarity between static and evolutionary allometries, and because we document extensive non-allometric evolution of antler size across the Cervidae."}],"oa_version":"Published Version","oa":1,"date_created":"2024-02-04T23:00:53Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","year":"2024","publisher":"Springer Nature","scopus_import":"1","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Antler allometry, the Irish elk and Gould revisited","status":"public","acknowledgement":"Open access funding provided by University of Oslo (incl Oslo University Hospital).\r\nWe thank Adrian Lister, Louis Tomsett, Roberto Portela Miguez and Roula Pappa (NHMUK), Brian O'Toole and Eileen Westwig (AMNH), Daniela Kalthoff (NHRM), Alexander Bibl and Zachos Frank (NHMW), Darrin Lunde and John Ososky (NMNH), Matthew Parkes and Nigel Monaghan (NMI), Elizabetta Cioppi and Luca Bellucci (IGF), and Yoshihiro Tanaka and Hiroyuki Taruno (OMNH), who helped us in obtaining the museum data, and a special thanks to Jørgen Sikkeland (NTNU NHM) for assistance in obtaining the ontogenetic data for the red deer.
