Introduction: Turtles are extensively harvested to supply the demand for food, pets, and products. Conservation strategies often involve release of seized individuals ex-situ breeding programs. However, several traded species have particular genetic characteristics, origins captive unknown. Despite their potential aid in recovery populations, these faced criticism due risk outbreeding depression diversity loss. Objective: To explore use mitochondrial sequencing estimate origin from three...
Context Spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus) is a species complex with at least eight phylogenetic lineages distributed across Central and South America. However, several populations remain unstudied, which limits clear understanding of the relationship among as well whether all hidden diversity has been unveiled. Aim We analysed molecular variation spectacled inhabiting Colombian Trans-Andean range based on cytochrome oxidase I (COI) B (CytB) mitochondrial markers. Methods performed...
Summary Amazon parrots stand out as one of the most illegally traded Psittacids in neotropics. However, lack effective tools for determining geographical origin confiscated individuals has impeded development well-informed release programmes. In this study, we evaluated efficacy cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene to identify phylogeographical groups and infer origins seized across six parrot species. Through comprehensive genetic phylogenetic analyses 140 COI sequences from with...
Justificación: En Colombia, el comercio de especies fauna silvestre sin la documentación necesaria es prohibido por ley, lo que, en contexto una investigación penal sobre venta reptiles a través internet, como parte diligencia allanamiento y registro, se realizó procesamiento del lugar los hechos. Objetivo: realizar asignación taxonómica más probable utilizando análisis genético muestras biológicas recolectadas hechos para establecer presencia reptiles, dada ausencia animales momento...
