In the present study, we analyzed carbon (δ<sup>13</sup>C) and nitrogen (δ<sup>15</sup>N) stable isotopes in skin biopsies of ten odontocete species (Delphinidae and Physeteridae) to assess the intra- and inter-specific patterns in the use of resources along the region. Our isotopic analysis allowed us to identify two potential subpopulations of <i>Stenella frontalis</i>. High core isotopic niche overlap between <i>S. frontalis</i> from the southern range of the study area and <i>Delphinus delphis</i>, especially in spring, suggested that they share similar resources and rely on spatiotemporal segregation to achieve niche differentiation and to minimize competition. Our isotopic data also pointed to high similarity among <i>Tursiops truncatus, S. frontalis,</i> and <i>Globicephala melas</i> in the use of resources. <i>Steno bredanensis</i> had the highest δ<sup>15</sup>N and δ<sup>13</sup>C, which agrees with its occurrence in neritic waters. <i>S. longirostris</i> showed consistently low δ<sup>15</sup>N values, indicating that they feed at relatively lower trophic levels, and lack of niche overlap with most delphinid species, except <i>S. attenuata</i>. <i>Orcinus orca</i> and <i>G. melas</i> had very similar δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N values, that were consistent with feeding in offshore waters. δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N in <i>Physeter macrocephalus</i> suggested that individuals feed on similar trophic levels, but over a wide spatial range. The analyses of stable isotopes in skin biopsies helped us to refine our knowledge about the intra-specific resource and habitat use, ecological niches, and the trophic interactions amongst co-occurring cetaceans from the oceanic waters of the subtropical western South Atlantic.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Skin δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N reveal spatial and temporal patterns of habitat and resource use by free-ranging odontocetes from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-18 01:32:22.615451","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2020,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-05-20","DateCreate":"2021-05-17","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000595623900002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"Handle":"10.1007/s00227-020-03805-8"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":337525,"PubliDate":2020,"Pagination":"186","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"167","Issue":"12","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43352,"SerRR":"Marine Biology: International Journal on Life in Oceans and Coastal Waters.
