Abstract excerpt
The genus Himantura, Müller and Henle 1837 (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae) comprises benthic stingrays inhabiting tropical and subtropical waters, including the biodiversity-rich Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO). Despite their ecological significance and susceptibility to anthropogenic pressures, the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships of Himantura species remain poorly understood. This study sequenced...
