DNA identification of primate bushmeat from urban markets in Guinea-Bissau and its implications for conservation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Hunting for bushmeat consumption is a major threat to wild populations. Assessing trade at markets provides a commonly used measure of its intensity and impact. However, most carcasses arrive at markets already processed, which can pose serious challenges to its identification. We aimed to estimate the bias induced by incorrect species identification on species-specific trade estimates. During a survey of primate species traded in two urban markets in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, we collected samples from 50 carcasses, for which traders provided a priori species identifications. DNA barcoding was used to estimate the bias posed by traders- testimonies in this identification and to correct frequency estimates for each traded species. Six of the ten extant primate species in Guinea-Bissau were found to be traded, with a minimum estimate of 1550 individuals/dry season, based on the DNA barcoding. Molecular identification showed that species with similar body size were frequently misidentif
