BATOseq-PE: A public batoid DNA library with the first molecular insights into the cryptic diversity, genetic health, and management of Peruvian marine rays

Batoids (rays, skates, and relatives) are among the most threatened cartilaginous fishes globally, yet the molecular diversity of Peruvian taxa remains poorly evaluated. Furthermore, regional barcode sequences for high-conservation-priority taxa, such as sawfish, manta, and devil rays, are often restricted to private r...
