ABSTRACT This paper presents an isotopic characterization (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) of modern huemul from Patagonian Andean forest. This deer is considered an endemic species, now inhabiting the sub‐Antarctic forest of Chile and Argentina. We analyse if the isotopic signals of the modern huemuls can be us...
