Distribution pattern, population estimation and threats to the Indian Pangolin Manis crassicaudata (Mammalia: Pholidota: Manidae) in and around Pir Lasura National Park, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
Baseline knowledge of distribution and abundance of a species whose population is facing decline throughout its distribution range is vital for its conservation planning.

High Mammal Diversity and Flagship Species Persist Under Community Conservation in a Forest‐Savannah Transition Zone in Central Cameroon

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Community conservation areas often classified as council forests play an important role in the persistence or maintenance of diverse mammal communities. However, these areas often receive limited conservation attention and resources. The Yoko Council Forest (YCF) is among the key biodiversity hotspot areas found in Cameroon.

基于微卫星复合扩增的马来穿山甲个体识别研究

野生动物学报, 2022
利用12个微卫星位点复合扩增构建马来穿山甲(Manis javanica)个体识别体系,评估其种群遗传多样性和遗传结构。结果显示:重构的个体识别体系累积无关个体基因型匹配概率(P(ID))和同胞个体基因型匹配概率(P(ID)sibs)分别为6.48×10-16和9.65×10-6,具有较高的鉴别力和灵敏度。在135只马来穿山甲个体上共检测出155个等位基因,多态信息含量(PIC)为0.733,平均等位基因数(Na)为12.91,平均观测杂合度(Ho)为0.631,平均期望杂合度(He)为0.756 ...

Ecological, Historical, and Contemporary Evidence of Ground Pangolin (Smutsia temminckii) Presence in Ethiopia

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The vulnerable ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii) is distributed in parts of southern and eastern Africa, yet little is known about the most northern parts of their range. Ground pangolins are predicted to occur in northern Kenya and eastern Sudan, but information on whether ground pangolins are present in neighbouring Ethiopia remains ...

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Illegal wildlife trade as the leading cause of orphaned pangolin and vervet monkey arrival to the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is a major driver of biodiversity loss, threatening countless species, including pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) and vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus).

COVID‐related changes in public attitudes toward wildlife consumption on a Chinese social media site

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
COVID‐19 dramatically altered Chinese online users’ attitudes toward wildlife consumption. While the majority called for an end to such practices, responses to wildlife consumption bans were more mixed. Abstract Wildlife consumption in China has been relatively common, which has led to a substantial wildlife farming industry and caused concern among ...

First photographic evidence of Indian Pangolin Manis crassicaudata Geoffroy, 1803 (Mammalia: Pholidota: Manidae), in Colonel Sher Jung National Park, Himachal Pradesh, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2023
The Indian Pangolin Manis crassicaudata is ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List. We report the first photographic evidence of its presence in Colonel Sher Jung National Park of Paonta Valley in Himachal Pradesh. Camera-traps (n = 64) were used to assess the diversity and abundance of terrestrial mammals.

Pangolin hunting and trafficking in the forest–savannah transition area of Cameroon

Oryx
Pangolins have long been hunted for food and for their scales, but information on local hunting strategies in African range countries and the patterns of pangolin trafficking around sourcing areas is limited.
