Based on the ethnography of qom (toba) communities living on the right bank of the middle Bermejo River, in the ArgentineChaco, I address the relationship of this people with the ñandú (Rhea americana), a bird native to South America and closelylinked to the hunting tradition in the Gran Chaco. I argue that beyond the hunting activity, this relationship is inscribed in the Chaco landscape, in the memories, cosmology and celebrations of the qom people. This case is framed by the contemporary anthropological debate on the classic opposition between practices and ethos of domestication and hunting, that I approach from the context of indigenous feasts and their ability to congregate in the same space-time human relations and prominent links with plant and animal species. I conclude that the qom’s proximity to the images and body of ñandú, beyond turning the bird into an object of huma...

In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward the building of an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO₂DAT) complying with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). GO₂DAT will combine data from the coastal and open ocean, as measured by the chemical Winkler titration method or by sensors (e.g., optodes, electrodes) from Eulerian and Lagrangian platforms (e.g., ships, moorings, profiling floats, gliders, ships of opportunities, marine mammals, cabled observatories). GO₂DAT will further adopt a community-agreed, fully documented metadata format and a consistent quality control (QC) procedure and quality flagging (QF) system. GO₂DAT will serve to support the development of advanced data analysis and biogeochemical models for improving our mapping, understanding and forecasting capabilities for ocean ...
