Observations of Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) in mainland China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The critically endangered Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is thought to be one of the most threatened species in mainland China; however, little is known about its distribution and population status. We collected information from primary literature,

Influence of Pleistocene climate fluctuations on the demographic history and distribution of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) [PDF]

BMC Zoology, 2022
Background Pleistocene climate fluctuations have strongly modified species genetic diversity and distributions. The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) has been recognized as a critically endangered animal due to heavy poaching and trafficking. However,

Pangolin museum genomics reveal the dynamic genetic consequences and extinction risk of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin. [PDF]

Mol Biol Evol
Abstract Human-driven biodiversity loss, intensified by illegal hunting and trafficking, has caused severe wildlife population declines and extinctions, necessitating studies on long-term genomic erosion to inform conservation strategies.

Identifying habitat modification by Chinese pangolin in subtropical forests of southern China. [PDF]

Integr Zool
AbstractThe excavation of Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is expected to alter habitat heterogeneity and thus affect the functioning and structure of forest ecosystems. In this study, the bioturbation of Chinese pangolin on forest soils in three regions (Heping, Tianjingshan, and Wuqinzhang) across Guangdong province was quantified.

Comparison of Venous Blood Gas and Biochemical Parameters in Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica) and Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) before and after Isoflurane Anesthesia. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2023
Venous blood gas analytes are commonly examined in animals, and the results may be important when evaluating the overall health status of an animal. Pangolins are critically endangered mammals, and there is limited information on their physiological reference values in the literature.

Only Sunda and Chinese pangolin (Pholidota) are naturally distributed in China

Integrative Zoology, 2023
Actually, only two pangolin species occur naturally in China, namely the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) and the Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica). The Sunda pangolin was found to occur naturally in Yunnan, China, but only with a narrow distribution in the Xishuangbanna and Pu'er City.

Sperm collection and characteristics analysis of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla). [PDF]

Conserv Physiol
Abstract The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is a critically endangered species. However, there is a paucity of research on the male reproductive gamete biology of this species. The present study was the first to systematically analyse the sperm characterization of the Chinese pangolin, including semen collection, sperm morphometry
