Money Overweighed the Traditional Beliefs for Hunting of Chinese Pangolins in Nepal
Journal of Biodiversity & Endangered Species, 2016Traditional beliefs of local communities usually contribute to biodiversity conservation and management. We studied status, existing traditional beliefs, explored cause and prevailing hunting practices on Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) using semi-structured interviews in central and eastern districts of Nepal.

Genetic diversity in the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) inferred from protein electrophoresis
Biochemical Genetics, 1994We examined protein polymorphism of Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) from Yunnan Province of China, including two forms of three brown and nine dusky Chinese pangolins. Sixty-two genetic loci were screened; 12 loci were found to be polymorphic. The percentage of polymorphic loci (P) is 0.194, the mean individual heterozygosity (H) is 0.078, and ...

Genome assembly and population genetics comparison of Chinese and Malayan pangolin
2023High-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Chinese and Malayan pangolins, using the second-generation and newly-assembled third-generation genomes of the two pangolins as reference genomes, comparing the published resequencing data to the reference genomes and performing population genetics comparative analysis between species, populations and ...

Chromosome Research, 2009
The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla), a representative species of the order Pholidota, has been enlisted in the mammalian whole-genome sequencing project mainly because of its phylogenetic importance. Previous studies showed that the diploid number of M. pentadactyla could vary from 2n = 36 to 42. To further characterize the genome organization of

Predicting Suitable Habitats Of Critically Endangered Chinese Pangolin In Assam, India
2023Abstract Chinese pangolin is a least known species in terms of its ecology and population status in India. The present study of Chinese pangolin in Kaziranga-Karbi-Anglong landscape aimed to gather information on species distribution and population status and also an account of threats of the species was investigated.

A new complete mitogenome of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin Manis pentadactyla
Conservation Genetics Resources, 2016Manis pentadactyla is listed as a critically endangered species under the IUCN red list due its rapidly dwindling population as it is widely trafficked for its scale and meat. A mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) resource is particularly important in helping to differentiate pangolin species that are morphologically similar.

Dong wu xue yan jiu = Zoological research, 2013
Pangolins are unique mammals in that they possess scales that serve a protective biological function. As an important raw material of traditional medicine, illegal trades of these scales are frequent and difficult to investigate or prosecute. We used allometric models of dry weight of scales to compare 35 Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) and 119 ...

Hematological parameters of four Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla)
Zoo Biology, 1986AbstractHematological, differential, and blood chemistry values were determined in four Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla), both at the time of their arrival and after more than 1 year in captivity. The data presented were derived from two samples obtained from each of four animals, and they provide a preliminary basis for comparison with clinical ...

Parasitology Research
Pangolins are susceptible to a variety of gastrointestinal nematodes due to their burrowing lifestyle and feeding habits, and few parasitic nematodes have been reported. Here, a Chinese pangolin with old wounds on its leg and tail was rescued from the Heyuan City, Guangdong Province.
