Bones Beat Trees as Markers for Environmental Change
​
quote:
The scientists found that the carbon-12 signal improves the farther up the food chain you go. "It's noisy for trees, less noisy for moose, and even less noisy for wolves,"
​
This is because the wolf is "sampling" a lot of moose who "sample" a lot of trees. Fun stuff!

Neat article... thanks Ned.
​
I think the next step will be more exciting.
​
This "clearer picture" of climate change that is now possible.
​
The article seemed to imply that the data that they do have from the wolves matches previous trends, but with less noise.
​
Got any links handy to the previous trends?
