Predator-prey interactions have been a central theme in population ecology for the past century, but real-world data sets only exist for recent, relatively short (\<100 years) time spans. This limits our ability to study centennial/millennial-scale predator-prey dynamics. We propose that regional radiocarbon databases can be used to reconstruct a signal of predator-prey population dynamics in deep time, overcoming this limitation. We support our argument with examples from Pleistocene Beringia and the Holocene Judean Desert.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
