The dusky dolphin Lagenorhynchus obscurus occurs in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is restricted to coastal temperate areas. This study aimed to characterize the feeding ecology of dusky dolphins inhabiting northern and central Patagonia by using δ13C and δ15N stable isotope ratios in skin samples. We searched for evidence of geographical and seasonal variation in diet and we explored dietary differences between sexes. Significant differences in the stable isotope ratios of dusky dolphins were found among the 4 gulfs under udy. Skin samples from Golfo San Matías and Golfo San Jorge were 13C-enriched and 15N-depleted ompared to those from Golfo Nuevo and Golfo San José. There was no seasonality in the diet at Golfo Nuevo, and no differenc...
