Domestic dogs are considered one of the most commonly-introduced predators, and one of the causes of decline in wildlife on a global scale. Nevertheless, few studies report specific cases of interaction between dogs and the affected species; rather, the possible effect of dogs is inferred, or some cases of interaction are mentioned in studies whose focus is on a different topic. In Argentina, a large, biodiverse country with 18 ecoregions providing habitat for numerous threatened species, scientific research addressing dog-wildlife interaction is lacking. We performed a study at a national level, using an online survey to obtain concrete records of dog attacks on wildlife, focusing mainly on natural areas, as they host several vulnerable species. We categorized the species records according to conservation status and assessed the data obtained by ecoregion. Of the total number of respondents (N = 1006), 68.4% had witnessed a dog chasing or preying on wildlife at least once. At least 80 recognized species had been chased or preyed on by dogs, 6.5% of these species being categorized as Endangered or Vulnerable in national and global Red Lists. Most persecution events corresponded to birds (48%) and mammals (47%). Dog persecution of wildlife was reported throughout every Argentine ecoregion, highlighting the widespread prevalence of this problem. This information will help in the development of initial dog management plans and define priority areas for action, as well as raise social concern regarding this threat, and promote responsible pet ownership.

Here, we demonstrate how a variety of palaeoecological proxies (e.g. isotopes, geochemistry and DNA) from an Andean Condor ( Vultur gryphus ) guano deposit from Argentina can be used to explore breeding site fidelity and the impacts of environmental changes on avian behaviour. We found that condors used the nesting site since at least approximately 2200 years ago, with an approximately 1000-year nesting frequency slowdown from ca 1650 to 650 years before the present (yr BP). We provide evidence that the nesting slowdown coincided with a period of increased volcanic activity in the nearby Southern Volcanic Zone, which resulted in decreased availability of carrion and deterred scavenging birds. After returning to the nest site ca 650 yr BP, condor diet shifted from the carrion of native species and be...

Research paper thumbnail of How to include and recognize the work of ornithologists based in the Neotropics: Fourteen actions for Ornithological Applications, Ornithology, and other global-scope journals

Ornithological Applications

Global-scope scientific journals have played an important role in upholding a colonial legacy of ... more Global-scope scientific journals have played an important role in upholding a colonial legacy of north-south inequities in ornithology, and they now have a key role to play in increasing equity in scientific publishing. We explore common barriers faced by ornithologists in the Neotropics (Latin America and the Caribbean) and suggest priority actions that Ornithological Applications, Ornithology, and other global-scope ornithological journals can take to increase equity in publication and research uptake. Among the most important problems, we identified (1) restrictive (and north-biased) criteria for assessing research “importance” and “novelty,” (2) the high publication costs of the Author Pay (Gold) Open Access model, (3) language hegemony, (4) under-representation of ornithologists from the Neotropics on editorial boards and as lead authors on invited articles, and (5) lack of attention to ethics of collaboration and citation. We recommend that Ornithological Applications, Ornitho...
