Tooth enamel nitrogen isotope composition records trophic position: a tool for reconstructing food webs

Tooth enamel nitrogen isotope composition records trophic position: a tool for reconstructing food webs

Enamel-bound nitrogen isotopes in modern and fossil mammal teeth preserve dietary and trophic level information. This novel geochemical archive can be used to reconstruct trophic niche in ancient ecosystems.
