In this paper in @FrontEcolEvol , we show that the ever-growing incisors of #rodents can serve ideally as short-term archives to record changes in diet isotopy over time. @BristolUni @uni_mainz_eng #ToothWearResearchGroup https://t.co/RulP7rsyVE

"guinea pigs were fed pellets with and without addition of 4% of isotopically distinct dust (loess or kaolin)" Sr isotopes have been used to trace dust or loess provenance; these researchers follow them into rodent teeth
