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 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.

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