DNA-based monitoring of bushmeat trade dynamics and hotspots across western and central Africa

The bushmeat trade in Africa is a largely unregulated activity that drives the unsustainable exploitation of wild terrestrial vertebrates—an issue often coined the “bushmeat crisis”. We build on a four-gene mitochondrial DNA-typing approach to develop an unprecedented reference d...

Population Structure and Spatial Connectivity Inferred from Spatial Phenotypic Differentiation of the Bluefish Pomatomus saltatrix (Teleostei: Pomatomidae) Along the Southeastern–Southern Brazilian Coast Using Landmark-Based Truss Network Morphometrics

Understanding the population structure of highly migratory marine species is essential for effective fisheries management and conservation. The bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix, is a widely distributed pelagic fish of great ecological and economic importance in the Southwest Atlanti...
