Limited data pertaining to life history and population connectivity of the data-deficient southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) are available. To determine potential vulnerabilities their populations, this study aimed analyse movement patterns genetic variability. A stingrays encompassing nine sites around Cape Eleuthera, Bahamas, has been monitored using mark-recapture, spanning a 2.5 year period. Out 200 individual stingrays, more than third were encountered again. The home range females...
Stability and long-term persistence of a species rely heavily on its genetic diversity, which is closely allied to capacity for adaptation. In threatened species, population connectivity can play major role in maintaining that assessments their populations be crucial the design effective spatial conservation management. Not only it worth evaluating amount diversity candidate protection, but magnitude outgoing gene flow provide insight into potential replenish others via emigrants. The...
The complete mitochondrial genome of the blue skate Dipturus batis is described from shotgun sequencing on an Illumina next-generation platform. We report a 16,911 bp long sequence similar in size to other members genus, containing 13 protein-coding regions, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA and non-coding areas. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using genomes 17 related species, placing D. within Rajini tribe Rajidae family, consistent with current taxonomy. new resource adds growing database rajid...
We describe the complete mitochondrial genomes of flapper skate Dipturus intermedius (Parnell 1837) and longnose oxyrinchus (Linnaeus 1758), which have been obtained by Sanger sequencing. report length sequences to be 16,906 16,911 bp, respectively. The structure gene regions, containing 13 protein-coding 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA non-coding areas, resemble those related species. Despite D. being considered a cryptic species with batis, full mitogenomes confirm that are more genetically...
