People’s Knowledge of Illegal Chinese Pangolin Trade Routes in Central Nepal [PDF]
Chinese pangolin populations are declining globally due to illegal wildlife trades in its range countries, especially China and Vietnam, where the largest markets for this species exist. Identifying the trade routes is crucial for developing conservation plans for the pangolin and understanding the attributes of the individuals involved in the illegal ...

Conservation genomics of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin
Science China Life SciencesThe Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla, MP) has been extensively exploited and is now on the brink of extinction, but its population structure, evolutionary history, and adaptive potential are unclear. Here, we analyzed 94 genomes from three subspecies of the Chinese pangolin and identified three distinct genetic clusters (MPA, MPB, and MPC), with ...

Habitat Preferences of the Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) in Southern Sankhuwasabha, Nepal
Academic Journal of SukunaA field survey was conducted in September - October 2023 to assess the habitat preferences of pangolins in Madi Municipality, Sankhuwasabha. Using six (500 m ´ 500 m) transect strips across forest and cropland habitats, 20 pangolin burrows were recorded,

Body temperature and rate of O2 consumption in Chinese pangolins
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1986Body temperatures and rates of O2 consumption and CO2 production were measured in four Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) during short-term exposures (2-4 h) to ambient temperatures (Ta) of 10-34 degrees C. At Ta less than 27 degrees C the pangolins curled into a sphere.

Autoradiographic Study of the Retinal Projections in the Chinese Pangolin, Manis pentadactyla
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008Autoradiography was used to investigate the optic system of the Chinese pangolin, Manis pentadactyla. The pattern of retinal projections in the Chinese pangolin is similar to that described in other mammals. Each retina projects bilaterally to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, dorsal and ventral lateral geniculate nuclei, pretectal area, and superior ...

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 ...
