More than 230,000 known species representing 31 metazoan phyla populate the world's
oceans. Perhaps another 1,000,000 or more species remain to be discovered. There is …

More than two third area of our planet is covered by oceans and assessment of marine
biodiversity is a challenging task. With the increasing global population, there is a tendency …

DNA barcoding based on a fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in the
mitochondrial genome is widely applied in species identification and biodiversity studies …

This work addresses the most relevant advances in the breeding and rearing of marine
ornamental species. The main breakthroughs in marine ornamental fish culture are …

Diversity in coral reef fishes is not evenly distributed and tends to accumulate in the Indo-
Malay-Philippines Archipelago (IMPA). The comprehension of the mechanisms that initiated …

Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their
hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA …

The use of non-human DNA typing in forensic science investigations, and specifically that
from animal DNA, is ever increasing. The term animal DNA in this document refers to animal …

The discovery of fluorescent proteins has revolutionized experimental biology. Whereas the
majority of fluorescent proteins have been identified from cnidarians, recently several …

DNA barcoding studies use Kimura's two‐parameter substitution model (K2P) as the de
facto standard for constructing genetic distance matrices. Distances generated under this …

Background DNA barcoding is one means of establishing a rapid, accurate, and cost-
effective system for the identification of species. It involves the use of short, standard gene …
