The paper develops BATOseq-PE, a public genetic library for Peruvian marine batoids, revealing cryptic diversity and genetic health issues, and proposes management strategies based on genetic and ecological data.

The paper resurrects Hypanus brevis as a distinct species from H. dipterurus using genetic and morphological analyses, revealing a divergence around 5.6 Ma and suggesting conservation concerns due to a genetic bottleneck.

The paper assembles complete mitochondrial genomes for three searobin species and performs a phylogenetic analysis to clarify their relationships within the Prionotinae subfamily.

This study reviews DNA-based seafood identification methods and finds a 24.8% mislabeling rate in Eastern South Pacific seafood, with many cases involving threatened shark species.

The paper determines the first complete mitogenome of Aetobatus ocellatus, confirms its classification in Aetobatidae, and highlights taxonomic implications for conservation.

The paper develops a multiplex PCR assay to identify seven Macrobrachium prawn species and detects illegal trade in Peruvian prawns.

The paper develops and validates species-specific primers for eDNA monitoring and authentication of 10 Peruvian marine species, achieving 100% accuracy and no cross-species amplification.

The paper uses mitochondrial genomes to confirm the close relationship between Pollicipes elegans and P. pollicipes, with P. polymerus as a basal branch.

This paper develops a non-invasive qPCR method for sexing paiche fish using DNA markers identified through a novel bioinformatic approach.
