Exploitation and threat traits of the Hoplobatrachus occipitalis community, an economically important frog in the Poro region, Northern Côte d’Ivoire

Abstract The Poro region is home to several natural habitats for frogs, and their consumption has become widespread in this part of northern Côte d’Ivoire. Frog harvesting has become a significant source of income and food for those involved in this sector. This activity is not subject to any regulatory framework, and this could lead to the extinction of the resource if no action is taken by the…

DNA barcoding of Philippine cave-dwelling bats (Chiroptera) in Tabaco cave using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene

Abstract DNA barcoding utilizing the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was employed to identify the cave-dwelling bats in Tabaco cave, Sta. Teresita, Cagayan, Philippines, an unexplored site for molecular bat research. This study integrated preliminary morphological classification with confirmatory COI barcoding to identify species within this understudied assemblage. Three species from…
