Abstract
The paper considers the main features of the late Miocene faunas of terrestrial vertebrates and marine mammals of Southeastern Europe and their general dynamics in connection with landscape and climatic changes. We note that the geographical area corresponding to the modern northwestern and northern Black Sea region with adjacent territories was a territory of intense diversification during the late Miocene. The revealed biogeographic significance of the region is associated with the fact that a border between the forest biome and open and/or semi-open landscapes occurred on this territory in the late Miocene. Accelerated diversification in this transitional (ecotone) zone is supposed to be associated with the fragmentation of species’ geographical ranges under pronounced spatial differentiation of plant associations and a wide representation of mosaic habitats caused by significant climatic fluctuations. We further discuss the general evolutionary potential of peripheral communities, as exemplified by the Hipparion vertebrate faunas of southeastern Europe.

东南欧作为晚中新世脊椎动物进化的舞台
摘要
本文考虑了东南欧陆生脊椎动物和海洋哺乳动物晚中新世动物群的主要特征及其与景观和气候变化相关的一般动态。我们注意到，与邻近领土的现代黑海西北部和北部地区相对应的地理区域在中新世晚期是一个高度多样化的地区。该地区揭示的生物地理意义与森林生物群落与中新世晚期在该地区出现的开放和/或半开放景观之间的边界有关。这个过渡（生态环境）区域的加速多样化被认为与在植物关联的明显空间分化和由显着气候波动引起的马赛克栖息地的广泛代表性下物种地理范围的碎片化有关。我们进一步讨论了外围社区的一般进化潜力，例如东南欧的三足马脊椎动物群。
