¿Plagió José Arévalo Baca el libro “Aves de España” (1887) de un manuscrito ornitológico de Rafael Cisternas?

Una sospecha de usurpación y plagio se cierne sobre el libro de José Arévalo Baca Aves de España (1887). Una carta en 1893 de Mariano de la Paz Graells a Víctor López Seoane es un documento probatorio de que Arévalo Baca robó a la viuda de Cisternas un manuscrito y lo utilizó apropiándoselo para la redacción del considerado primer libro español de ornitología ibérica. Además de mostrar aquí esta prueba, se presentan otros indicios y evidencias que hemos podido reunir para fundamentar la sospecha de que Arévalo Baca cometió un fraude científico.
