  • Descrição: ABSTRACT Domestic dogs were transported by voyagers to the islands of Remote Oceania. However, the distribution of these, and other domesticates, varies by location. By the time of European contact, dogs were extirpated from many islands, but the cause of their disappearance remains unknown. Archaeological reports and ethnohistoric text analysed for 35 islands and island groups in Remote Oceania reveal regional patterns of dog introduction and loss that shed light on their disappearance. The findings of this survey indicate that people introduced dogs to most island groups in Remote Oceania and that pre‐European extirpation rates were high. The highest localized extinction rates occurred on low islands suggesting that low‐island vulnerabilities and spatial constraints on population size affect survivorship. The dogs of Remote Oceania have a complex history in which introduction to new islands was common, but long‐term persistence was difficult. RÉSUMÉ Les chiens domestiques ont été transportés par les voyageurs aux îles de l'Océanie lointaine. Cependant, la distribution des chiens, ainsi que des autres espèces domestiquées, varie selon l'endroit. Lors du contact européen les chiens avaient déjà été extirpés de plusieurs îles, mais la cause des disparitions reste encore inconnue. Les analyses des rapports archéologiques et des textes ethnohistoriques de 35 îles et archipels révèlent des récurrences régionales d'introduction et de perte des chiens, ce qui commence à éclaircir leur disparition. Les résultats de cette enquête indiquent que les gens ont introduit les chiens à la plupart des archipels de l'Océanie lointaine, et que les taux d'extirpation pré‐européens étaient élevés. Les taux d'extinction locales les plus élevés se produisaient sur les îles basses, ce qui semble indiquer que les vulnérabilités des îles basses et les contraintes spatiales sur la taille de la population affectent la survie. Les chiens de l'Océanie lointaine ont une histoire complexe, dans lequel leurs introductions aux îles était commun, mais la persistance à long terme était difficile. Domestic dogs were transported by voyagers to the islands of Remote Oceania. By the time of European contact, dogs were extirpated from many islands, but the cause of their disappearance remains a mystery. Archaeological reports and ethnohistoric text analyzed for 35 islands/island groups in Remote Oceania reveal regional patterns of dog introduction and loss that shed light on their disappearance.
