Research and conservation of biodiversity in Peru: importance of using modern techniques and efficient administrative processes
This commentary focuses on the importance that DNA sequence analysis has in biodiversity studies and the need for improving administrative procedures regarding biodiversity research in Peru. Given the rapid loss of biodiversity and natural resources in many areas of Peru, research aimed at identifying, characterizing, and describing biodiversity is a priority for developing appropriate conservation and mitigation strategies. For cur-rent and future research on Peruvian biodiversity and conservation, we emphasize the importance of using an integrative taxonomy approach, including the study of evolutionary processes associated with areas of high biodiversity and endemism. Additionally, it is essential that governmental institutions responsible for review-ing permit applications and research plans, focusing on biodiversity research in Peru, recognize and support studies that incorporate an integrative taxonomy approach. The use of modern techniques in the integrative taxonomy model in conjunction with efficient administrative procedures will be the best method for protecting Peruvian biodiversity.

Este comentario resalta la importancia que el análisis de secuencias de ADN tiene en los estudios de biodi-versidad y la necesidad de mejorar los procedimientos administrativos concernientes a las investigaciones de biodiversidad en el Perú. La rápida pérdida de la biodiversidad y recursos naturales del Perú justifican la urgencia de apoyar aquellas investigaciones que ayuden a identificar, describir y caracterizar a la biodiversidad en la brevedad posible, para que se puedan tomar las debidas medidas de conservación y mitigación. Enfatizamos la importancia del uso de técnicas modernas dentro del modelo de estudio de la taxonomía integradora, incluyendo el estudio de los procesos evolutivos asociados a áreas con mayor diversidad y endemismo y los efectos del cambio climático sobre la biodiversidad peruana. Asimismo, es esencial que las entidades gubernamentales encargadas de evaluar los planes, solicitudes y requisitos asociados a las investigaciones de la biodiversidad del Perú reconozcan y apoyen el enfoque de la taxonomía integradora. El uso de técnicas modernas dentro del modelo de la taxonomía integradora, junto a procedimientos administrativos eficientes, puede convertirse en la mejor herramienta para proteger la biodiversidad peruana.
