Genomic Resources Notes accepted 1 October 2013 – 30 November 2013

This article documents the public availability of (i) genomic sequence data and 43 microsatellite loci for the bat species, Lasiurus borealis and Lasiurus cinereus, and (ii) complete mitochondrial and partial nuclear genomes for two jack species, Caranx ignobilis, Caranx melampygus.

From August to September 2013, c. 21 specimens of the blue runner Caranx crysos were caught by commercial fishermen in two locations off the south coast of Newfoundland, Canada. These samples represent the first records of C. crysos in Newfoundland waters, and a potential northward range expansion of this species in the north‐western Atlantic Ocean. They also illustrate the importance of fisher‐derived sampling that spans times and locations outside of the limited range targeted by scientific surveys in this region.
