Review of Genetic Diversification of Bats in the Caribbean and Biogeographic Relationships to Neotropical Species Based on DNA Barcodes
Genome Review of genetic diversification of bats in the Caribbean and biogeographic relationships to Neotropical species based on DNA barcodes Journal: Genome Manuscript ID gen-2015-0204.R2 Manuscript Type: Article Date Submitted by the Author: 10-Jun-2016 Complete List of Authors: Lim, Burton; Royal Ontario Museum, Natural History Keyword: Antilles, Chiroptera,Draft Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Martinique https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/genome-pubs Page 1 of 56 Genome Review of genetic diversification of bats in the Caribbean and biogeographic relationships to Neotropical species based on DNA barcodes Burton K. Lim B.K. Lim , Department of Natural History, Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queen’s Park, Toronto, ON M5S 2C6, Canada. Draft Corresponding author: Burton K. Lim ( [email protected] ). 1 https://mc06.manuscriptcentral.com/genome-pubs Genome Page 2 of 56 Abstract: DNA barcoding is helping in discovering high levels of cryptic species and an underestimation of biodiversity in many groups of organisms. Although mammals are arguably the most studied and one of the least speciose taxonomic classes, the rate of species discovery is increasing and biased for small mammals on islands. An earlier study found bats in the Caribbean as a taxonomic and geographic deficiency in the International Barcode of Life initiative to establish a genetic reference database to enable specimen identification to species. Recent surveys in Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Martinique have documented and barcoded half of the 58 bat species known from the Caribbean. I analyze all available barcode data of Caribbean bats to investigate biogeography and cryptic species in the Neotropical region. Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 results in a phylogenetic tree with all but one speciesDraft as well-supported and reciprocally monophyletic. -
