Historical Collections of Tropical Marine Mammals Are an Excellent Resource for Ancient DNA

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The ability to predict ancient DNA sequencing success in natural history collections is critical to reducing the amount of destructive sampling of a finite resource. So far, studies investigating such success have predominantly focused on taxa with ranges restricted to temperate or cold environments at northern latitudes, which likely aids DNA
