DELIMITING CRYPTIC SPECIES WITHIN THE BROWN-BANDED BAMBOO SHARK, CHILOSCYLLIUM PUNCTATUM IN THE INDO-AUSTRALIAN REGION WITH MITOCHONDRIAL DNA AND GENOME-WIDE SNP APPROACHES

Delimiting cryptic species within the brown-banded bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium punctatum in the Indo-Australian region with mitochondrial DNA and genome-wide SNP approaches

Abstract Background Delimiting cryptic species in elasmobranchs is a major challenge in modern taxonomy due the lack of available phenotypic features.Employing stand-alone genetics in splitting a cryptic species may prove problematic for further studies and for implementing conservation management.In this study, we examined mitochondrial DNA and ge
