No bird extinctions have occurred in the Galapagos Islands since the arrival of man in 1535. However, populations of several landbirds are now declining rapidly, partly due to the introduced parasitic fly, Philornis downsi. This fly was first recorded in the Galapagos Islands in the 1960s, but its negative impact on birds was only discovered in the 1990s.
was only discovered in the 1990s (Causton et al., 2006). Adult flies lay their eggs in the birds' nests; fly larvae hatching from the eggs then feed on the blood and tissue of the newly hatched chicks, affecting their growth and causing anaemia, beak deformities and ultimately even death.
