Ancient biomolecules suggest learned foraging strategy in extinct cave bears

IOANA NICOLETA MELEG, Federica Alberti, Dorothée G. Drucker, Magdalena Năpăruş‐Aljančič, Angelica Feurdean, Marius Robu, Marius Vlaicu, Yuichi I. Naito, Adina Boroneanț, Marin Cârciumaru, Elena-Cristina Niţu, Michael Hofreiter, Hervé Bocherens, Axel Barlow

This study uses isotope and ancient DNA analysis to show that cave bears adapted their diets based on foraging experience rather than genetics.
