“…The charisma of seriemas seems to have granted them a place in avian collections and in captivity. Indeed, several studies on seriemas were conducted in zoos or dealt with captive birds, and produced information on their internal (Snak et al 2014) and external (Teixeira et al 2008, da Silva et al 2009, Marietto-Gonçalves et al 2012, Martins et al 2017) parasites, healthcare (Kozel et al 2016, Di Nucci andFalzone 2017), guidelines for captive care or breeding (Mattison 2012, Association of Zoos and Aquariums 2013, Hallager 2013, and on their breeding biology and development stages (Newton 1889, Heinroth 1924, de Almeida 1994, Collins 1998). Apart from the records on their breeding behavior, behavioral records of seriemas in captivity are scarce.…”

Red-legged Seriemas (Cariama cristata) and Black-legged Seriemas (Chunga burmeisteri) are two exclusively South American species that inhabit open and sparsely forested areas. Seriemas have been recently included with the raptors based on ecological and evolutionary evidence. Viewing seriemas as raptors is nontraditional and might be controversial. Therefore, further information regarding the evolution, taxonomy, morphology, and ecology of these birds will clarify the validity of their consideration as raptors. Here we present a review of the published information on seriemas, and discuss future research for these newly adopted raptors. To conduct our review, we developed a systematic map and searched all databases available within Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science, performed a keyword search of Google Scholar, and included the corresponding bibliographies from the Birds of the World website. We reviewed 98 studies, and found that the Red-legged Seriema was the subject of more studies than the Black-legged Seriema. Overall, Brazil and Argentina were the site of most studies. The majority of studies examined physiology (48), followed by behavior (37), threats to the survival of these species (36), and demography (27), while smaller numbers of studies examined stressors (e.g., habitat changes, causes of mortality and injury such as predation, hunting, etc.) (20), and conservation actions (10). Patterns of study categorizations were similar for both species, and the distribution of studies across months was also fairly even for both species. This is the first study to systematically review and assess the published information on seriemas. Our results show the topics and locations on which past studies have focused, and highlight potentially fruitful avenues for future research. Although threats to seriemas have been identified, these have not been thoroughly assessed; thus, their extent and effects on seriema populations were difficult to ascertain. Future research should focus on testing existing hypotheses regarding seriema feeding, vocalization, social, and territorial behaviors, while documenting natural history. Researchers should build on past investigations while establishing programs to monitor the conservation status of seriemas across their ranges.
