Dolphin diets show how climate change could alter food chains off the California coast
Scientists studying dolphins dining off the California coastline have found that the marine food web is starting to look a little threadbare. The length of food chains in that web appears to have gotten shorter in response to environmental changes - such as those caused by El Nino events.
The findings, published this week in the journal Science Advances, highlight a useful method for examining the ways climate change is affecting the structure of the world's ecosystems.
As human-caused climate change continues its rapid pace, and as the
