Abstract
Detailed knowledge on habitat use by marine mammals is critical for understanding their ecological role and for adequate management. Here, we assess the habitat use patterns of thirteen species of marine mammals along the salinity gradient of the Río de la Plata estuary and the adjoining western South Atlantic Ocean, for which we use the ratios of stable oxygen isotopes in bone carbonate (apatite) as a proxy for salinity. Furthermore, we compare...
