Under‐Explored Species, Breeds and Cell Types With Potential for Cultivated Meat Production

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how the strategic selection of overlooked cell lines from novel species and specific agricultural breeds can help overcome current manufacturing bottlenecks in cultivated meat production. The schematic links the concept of an ‘ideal cell line’ to four key bioprocessing and product advantages that can be optimised ...

Scenario planning for pangolin conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The combined effects of the exponential human population growth starting since the Industrial Revolution and the marked increase in per capita resource and land use in developed nations, especially in the last decades since the agricultural revolution ...

Integrating vision, audition and olfaction traits: a roadmap for contrasting sensory ecologies of birds and rodents

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

Predicting the distribution and characteristics of Chinese pangolin habitat in China: Implications for conservation

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is on the verge of extinction. Overuse and habitat loss have decimated the pangolin population across China.

Urban wild meat and pangolin consumption across southern forested Cameroon: The limited influence of COVID‐19

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Overexploitation of wildlife is pervasive in many tropical regions, and in addition to being a significant conservation and sustainability concern, it has received global attention given discussions over the origins of zoonotic disease outbreaks.

Pharyngeal Communities and Antimicrobial Resistance in Pangolins in Gabon

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Wildlife can be a reservoir and source of zoonotic pathogens for humans. For instance, pangolins were considered one of the potential animal reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2.

Hunting motivations, behaviour and forest access: Characterising wildlife hunting practices in a multi‐ethnic, forested landscape of Brunei Darussalam, Southeast Asia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss.

The Pangolin Universal Notching System: a scale-marking methodology for pangolins

open access: yesOryx
Despite thousands of individuals entering the illegal wildlife trade each year, assessments of pangolin populations are largely non-existent, even in areas with high exploitation and limited personnel and field equipment.
