Fossil Evidence Reveals How Grey Wolves Adapt Diets To Climate Change

Grey wolves adapt their diets as a result of climate change, eating harder foods such as bones to extract nutrition during warmer climates, new research has found. 

The study, led by the University of Bristol in collaboration with the Natural History Museum, and published in Ecology Letters has implications for wolf conservation across Europe and beyond. 

Researchers  compared the teeth of grey wolves from three different time periods using a method known as Dental Microwear Texture Analysis (DMTA).
