Bryde's‐like whales are a complex of medium‐sized baleen whales that occur in tropical
waters of all three major ocean basins. Currently, a single species of Bryde's whale …

Background Disorders of the mitochondrial respiratory chain are heterogeneous in their
symptoms and underlying genetics. Simple links between candidate mutations and …

DNA barcoding is an efficient method to identify specimens and to detect
undescribed/cryptic species. Sanger sequencing of individual specimens is the standard …

Integrative taxonomy can help us to gain a better understanding of the degree of
evolutionary divergence between taxa. In the western North Atlantic (wNA), two ecotypes …

Until now, the potential of NGS for the construction of barcode libraries or integrative
taxonomy has been seldom realised. Here, we amplified (two-step PCR) and simultaneously …

Species identification of non-human biological evidence through DNA nucleotide
sequencing is routinely used for forensic genetic analysis to support law enforcement. The …

Sequence capture of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) associated with massively parallel
sequencing has become a common source of nuclear data for studies of animal systematics …

Coastal and offshore ecotypes of common bottlenose dolphins have been recognized in the
western South Atlantic, and it is possible that trophic niche divergence associated with social …

The evolution of mitochondrial genomes in the stingless bees is surprisingly dynamic,
making them a model system to understand mitogenome structure, function, and evolution …

Wildlife forensic analyses are frequently concerned with taxonomic identification, and very
often employ amplification and Sanger sequencing of informative regions of the genome to …
