  "summary": "Batoids (rays, skates, and relatives) are among the most threatened cartilaginous fishes globally, yet the molecular diversity of Peruvian taxa remains poorly evaluated. Furthermore, regional barcode sequences for high-conservation-priority taxa, such as sawfish, manta, and devil rays, are often restricted to private records, hindering essential phylogeographic and population structure…",
