Assessing the spatiotemporal dynamics of endangered mammals through local ecological knowledge combined with direct evidence: The case of pangolins in Benin (West Africa)

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Although pangolins are considered to be one of the most trafficked wild mammals in the world, their conservation status remains uncertain through most of their ranges, and notably in western Africa.

Burrow‐Based Monitoring of Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) Reveals Importance of Core Natural Habitat in Hong Kong 中華穿山甲 (Manis pentadactyla)洞穴監測揭示香港內陸郊野地帶的重要性

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Relatively little is known about the distribution or habitat requirements of Hong Kong's population of the Chinese pangolin. Between 2018 and 2021 we searched for pangolin burrows and deployed camera traps on the burrows. We then analyzed habitat suitability at multiple scales to determine the factors that are key in driving pangolin distributions in ...

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.

Predicting RNA splicing from DNA sequence using Pangolin

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2022
Recent progress in deep learning has greatly improved the prediction of RNA splicing from DNA sequence. Here, we present Pangolin, a deep learning model to predict splice site strength in multiple tissues.

Integrated one‐pot CRISPR‐Cas detection: Addressing strategies and future prospects

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Integrated one‐pot CRISPR‐Cas detection significantly simplifies workflows, reduces cross‐contamination risks, and shortens turnaround times, making it highly suitable for point‐of‐care testing (POCT) and resource‐limited settings. Key challenges include system compatibility issues between Cas proteins and isothermal amplification, limited multiplexing

Evaluating methods for detecting and monitoring pangolin (Pholidata: Manidae) populations

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2019
The behaviours, ecologies and morphologies of pangolins make them challenging to survey and monitor, and non-targeted wildlife surveys have not produced robust status assessments, especially where population densities are low because of overexploitation.

Understanding consumer demand for bushmeat in urban centers of Cameroon with a focus on pangolin species

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2021
Bushmeat consumption remains significant in urban Central Africa. Increasing urbanization has fueled bushmeat trade and become a threat to endangered species like the pangolin. Behavioral change interventions may help reduce demand for pangolins in urban

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.

Pangolins (Manis crassicaudata) in Sri Lanka: A Review of Current Knowledge, Threats and Research Priorities

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Forestry and Environment, 2017
The Indian Pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) is arguably the least studied species of all Asiatic pangolin species and, is the solitary pangolin species recorded in Sri Lanka.

Isolation and characterization of a pangolin-borne HKU4-related coronavirus that potentially infects human-DPP4-transgenic mice

open access: yesNature Communications
We recently detected a HKU4-related coronavirus in subgenus Merbecovirus (named pangolin-CoV-HKU4-P251T) from a Malayan pangolin1. Here we report isolation and characterization of pangolin-CoV-HKU4-P251T, the genome sequence of which is closest to that ...
