Molecular identification of the main raptor bird species from the Arequipa-Lima region, Peru, using sanger sequencing by Wilmer Julio Paredes Fernandez, Maria Elena Suaña Quispe, Adolfo Roman Ramos Paredes, Erick Andy Huarilloclla Cordova, Thyfanny Brigitte Cuellar Ramos, Holger Mayta Malpartida

“…While the amplification of D-Loop/12S was unsuccessful due to the specific primers for Vultur gryphus, the COI and NAD2 regions showed high efficacy in the molecular identification of the analyzed samples. The analysis of the COI and NAD2 sequences revealed a marked intraspecific genetic divergence, with divergence percentages of up to 6-8% in some Neotropical birds of prey from Arequipa compared to the reference sequences. …”
