Genética de la conservación aplicada a delfines de río de Suramérica

River dolphins are of conservation interest since they are top predators, umbrella species and indicators of the health of the ecosystem.

Description
Summary:River dolphins are of conservation interest since they are top predators, umbrella species and indicators of the health of the ecosystem. Due to the above, this work seeks to compile the different types of genetic studies of the conservation of these species in South America, since this area of research is constantly evolving, thus seeking to show the advances that have been made up to moment. For this, it will be discussed, in the first place, about the characterization of the conservation genetics and preservation plans in river dolphins. And, secondly, the different studies that can be implemented on these species through the different areas will be described: population genetics, sampling based on main histocompatibility complex (MHC), forensic genetics and environmental DNA (eDNA).
