What is one of the techniques Richards uses to study diets?
Isotope Analysis
Cell Division Analysis
Weather Forecasting
DNA Splicing
Answer
Isotope analysis, a technique employed by Richards in dietary studies, involves examining the variations in the ratios of stable isotopes such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in animal tissues. By analyzing these isotopic signatures, scientists can reconstruct an animal's diet, including the types of plants consumed, the trophic level it occupies, and even its migratory patterns.
