  abstract = {{R}iver dolphins from the genus {I}nia are widely distributed in the {A}mazon, {O}rinoco and {T}ocantins {R}iver basins. {C}urrent knowledge on the dietary habits of these species is poor and based on stomach contents from stranded animals. {W}e used carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes to evaluate the diet preferences and trophic niche of the boto ({I}nia geoffrensis geoffrensis) and the bufeo ({I}. g. boliviensis) in three rivers from the {A}mazon and {T}ocantins basins. {S}amples were obtained from skin biopsies taken from social animals near fish markets during a tagging program or from dart biopsies of wild individuals. {P}rey isotopic data were obtained from fish collected during the surveys, catches by local fishermen or published data. {C}ontribution of prey to consumer diet was calculated through isotope mixing models and trophic niches were represented by the isotopic niche area. {P}iscivore prey was the main item in the diet of bufeos and botos from {T}apajos and {T}ocantins {R}iver wild group, whereas botos from {T}ocantins market group showed differences in diet and a lower trophic position probably mediated by human feeding near markets. {I}sotopic niche area was greater for {T}apajos botos than for {T}ocantins market group botos and bufeos, which can be an effect of the homogenization of the human-mediated diet and low samples sizes, in the case of the market group and bufeos, respectively. {R}esults presented here, represent a first attempt toward a better understanding of the trophic ecology of this endemic and threatened species through stable isotope analysis.},
