Molecular identification of cetaceans from the West Atlantic using the E3-I5 region of COI

Molecular identification is very useful in cases where morphology-based species identification is not possible. Examples for its application in cetaceans include the identification of carcasses of stranded animals in advanced state of decomposition and body parts that are illegally traded. One DNA region that is often used for molecular identification is the Folmer .. Read More»

Reevaluation of RAPD markers involved in a case of stingray misidentification (Dasyatidae: Dasyatis)

    V.V. Faria L.S. Rolim L.A.L. Vaz M.A.A. Furtado-Neto

We investigated a reported case of stingray Dasyatis americana misidentification not detected in a published study using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. If the referred specimen (landed by fisheries in Ceará, northeastern Brazil) was misidentified (as Dasyatis centroura) in the field, why did its RAPD data fail to clarify the mistake? Was it due to limitations of R.. Read More»
