Severe Disturbance of Chinese Pangolins Caused by Free-Ranging Domestic Dogs in Unprotected Areas

Diversity
Unprotected areas with endangered species generally face severe human disturbance. Domestic dogs are a special form of human disturbance and are sympatrically distributed with critically endangered Chinese pangolins in remote mountainous regions of ...

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

Integrative 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 ...

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

Interdisciplinary 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

Ethnozoological and commercial drivers of the pangolin trade in Benin

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2021
Background Pangolins are trafficked in unsustainable volumes to feed both local and global trade networks for their meat and the medicinal properties of their derivatives, including scales.

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

People 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.

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

People 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.

Captive breeding of pangolins: current status, problems and future prospects

ZooKeys, 2015
Pangolins are unique placental mammals with eight species existing in the world, which have adapted to a highly specialized diet of ants and termites, and are of significance in the control of forest termite disaster.

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

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Automatic Identification of Pangolin Behavior Using Deep Learning Based on Temporal Relative Attention Mechanism

Animals
With declining populations in the wild, captive rescue and breeding have become one of the most important ways to protect pangolins from extinction. At present, the success rate of artificial breeding is low, due to the insufficient understanding of the ...
