In a context of global biodiversity loss, it becomes increasingly necessary to establish the correct delimitation of the units to keep, as a basis for proper protection of the species. This proposal seeks to clarify this question, using molecular and morphological analysis, requesting the support required to establish a collaborative program with biodiversity researchers and organizations in Argentina. Work will focus on the application of DNA barcoding to aid resolution of important issues in natural resource management.
