We present comments on an article recently published in Ecology and Evolution ("High-resolution melting of the cytochrome B gene in fecal DNA: A powerful approach for fox species identification of the genus in Chile") by Anabalon that reported the presence of Darwin's fox (), a temperate forest specialist, in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of northern Chile. We argue that this putative record lacks ecological support in light of ongoing research on this endangered species, and contains numerous methodological flaws and omissions related to the molecular identification of the species. Based on these issues, we suggest the scientific community and conservation decision-makers disregard the alleged presence of the Darwin's fox in the Atacama Desert.
我们对阿纳巴隆最近发表在《生态学与进化》上的一篇文章（《粪便DNA中细胞色素B基因的高分辨率熔解：智利狐狸属物种鉴定的有力方法》）发表评论。该文章报道在智利北部极度干旱的阿塔卡马沙漠发现了达尔文狐（），这是一种栖息于温带森林的特有物种。鉴于目前对这种濒危物种的研究，我们认为这一所谓的记录缺乏生态学依据，并且在物种分子鉴定方面存在许多方法上的缺陷和疏漏。基于这些问题，我们建议科学界和保护决策制定者不要理会所谓达尔文狐在阿塔卡马沙漠存在的说法。
