Southernmost record of the Chinese pangolin Manis pentadactyla in Gia Lai province, Central Highlands of Vietnam

Oryx
We present a new camera-trap record of the Critically Endangered Chinese pangolin Manis pentadactyla in Vietnam, from a survey during January–November 2022 in Kon Ka Kinh National Park, Gia Lai Province. This record is c.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

Targeting burrows improves detection in giant pangolin Smutsia gigantea camera trap surveys [PDF]

, 2022
The Endangered giant pangolin (Smutsia gigantea) is rare and elusive across its central African range. Due to its solitary and nocturnal nature, the species is difficult to study and subsequently its ecology is poorly known.

Non-galliform birds’ attraction to soil mounds outside Chinese pangolin burrows

Contributions to Zoology
The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is typically conserved as a flagship species, but its ecological functions, particularly its interactions with birds, remain underexplored.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Factors affecting the occupancy of Chinese pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) suggest a highly specialized ecological niche

Ecosphere, 2023
The Chinese pangolin is a critically endangered and biologically unique species, yet information on its status, distribution, and habitat preferences is still scarce in Nepal, which limits effective conservation action.

Decoding Dual Regulatory Layers: Integrating Differential Expression and Alternative Splicing Dynamics in the Evolution of Laryngeal Echolocation Across Chiropteran Lineages

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We integrated short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq data from cochlear tissues of echolocating and non‐echolocating bats to disentangle transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation. Echolocating bats showed neural‐function enrichment among differentially expressed genes, while alternatively spliced genes were linked to epigenetic regulation. Overlaps

Evolutionary and Epidemiological Characterization of Multidrug‐Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated From Pangolins in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malayan pangolin populations have fallen to a critically endangered level, and illegal trafficking of wild pangolins is a global problem. Little is known about antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (MDRB) harbored by pangolins, although pangolins are frequently consumed as food or used in traditional medicine. In this study, we report for the first

An Ecological Assessment of Critically Endangered Chinese Pangolin Manis pentadactyla (Mammalia: Pholidota: Manidae) in the Midhills Region of Nepal [PDF]

, 2021
The Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is a “Critically Endangered” insectivorous mammal. There is a lack of information on the ecology, distribution and behavior of this species in Nepal, even though community forests in the Midhills Region of Nepal ...
