Abstract
We found evidence in favor of apparent competition. However, direct competition effects by both megaherbivores and carnivores on small prey are even more pervasive. Our results suggest that megaherbivores have been a dominant component of the mammal diversity over time and space during the last 22 million years in Eurasia.
