Latitude matters: an examination of behavioural plasticity in dietary traits amongst extant and Pleistocene Rangifer tarandus
The geographical distribution of species affects their dietary traits relative to resources available in different latitudes. Dietary traits of Rangifer tarandus , a species with a wide geographical distribution, were investigated using tooth mesowear and microwear methods in eight extant population...
