Abstract
Stable isotopes from archaic Falkland Islands wolves (<i>Dusicyon australis</i>) indicate a high trophic, marine diet. Hamley <i>et al.</i> argue that this is consistent with mutualism with Yaghan people. However, most <i>D. australis</i> had similar isotopic signatures in the European era, despite human persecution. These data therefore neither support nor refute human-mediated introduction of <i>D. australis</i> to the Falklands.
