ABSTRACT Tools to discriminate products from captive and wild sources will improve wildlife sustainability, stable isotopes of carbon nitrogen can be potentially useful for this. In this study, we evaluated δ 15 N 13 C in Caiman latirostris skins individuals (from Argentina Brazil), Argentina), leathers tanned skins) both Argentina). addition, compared the isotopic signatures caiman claws caimans Brazil. The main goal study was evaluate possible differences variability between skins, leathers, animals. We found that had a larger samples tanning did not affect variability. thus distinguish animals, which governing conservation measures especially regions where hunting is banned and/or only farmed traded.
