Eight species of falcons (Falconidae) have been recorded in Chile. To date, all relevant studies considered birds of prey in general, with no specific focus on this family. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature, an updated report is presented on the state of knowledge of falcons in Chile. This data set comprises a total of 165 studies published from 1915 to 2015. Scientific productivity was lowest in 1945-1955 and highest in 2005-2015, with a steady increase since 1985. However, the focus of research in Chile is biased towards two species: and . Two administrative regions, Santiago Metropolitan Region and Araucanía, were the most studied whereas Arica, Tarapacá, and Antofagasta regions accounted for fewer than 1% of the studies. Faunistic studies (including abundance) were the most common research topic. It is suggested that the lack of knowledge regarding species in the genus may negatively affect the conservation status of these species, and believed that the lack of preference for certain research topics, such as systematics and natural history, are the result of historical factors including the decrease of field biology and perhaps a biased interest of the researchers. Finally, this review highlights the paucity of information on falcons and provides a framework for directing future research.
智利已记录到8种隼（隼科）。迄今为止，所有相关研究都是对猛禽进行总体考量，并未特别聚焦于该科。基于对文献的全面综述，本文给出了一份关于智利隼类知识现状的更新报告。该数据集总共包含1915年至2015年间发表的165项研究。科研产出在1945年至1955年最低，在2005年至2015年最高，自1985年以来呈稳步增长态势。然而，智利的研究重点偏向于两个物种： 和 。两个行政区，即圣地亚哥首都大区和阿劳卡尼亚大区，研究得最多，而阿里卡、塔拉帕卡和安托法加斯塔大区的研究占比不到1%。动物区系研究（包括物种丰富度）是最常见的研究主题。研究表明，对 属物种缺乏了解可能会对这些物种的保护状况产生负面影响，并且认为对某些研究主题（如系统学和自然史）缺乏偏好是包括野外生物学衰落以及研究人员可能存在的偏向性兴趣在内的历史因素导致的。最后，本综述突出了隼类信息的匮乏，并为指导未来研究提供了一个框架。
