The complete phylogeny of pangolins : scaling up resources for the molecular tracing of the most trafficked mammals on earth

, 2017
Pangolins, considered the most-trafficked mammals on Earth, are rapidly heading to extinction. Eight extant species of these African and Asian scale-bodied anteaters are commonly recognized, but their evolutionary relationships remain largely unexplored.

Allometry of scales in Chinese pangolins ( Manis pentadactyla ) and Malayan pangolins ( Manis javanica ) and application in judicial expertise [PDF]

, 2012
Pangolins are unique mammals in that they possess scales that serve a protective biological function. As an important raw material of traditional medicine, illegal trades of these scales are frequent and difficult to investigate or prosecute.

Pangolins : science, society and conservation

, 2019
This chapter provides an authoritative account of the phylogeny and taxonomy of fossil and extant pangolins. Historical discrepancies around the taxonomy of pangolins are discussed, notably in terms of infraordinal classification, while the respective ...

Low pangolin consumption in Hong Kong pre- and post- the COVID-19 outbreak: Conservation and health concerns both contribute to people’s attitudes

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Pangolins have recently received significant media attention globally as the trade for their scales and meat is driving many species closer to extinction. As a result of this, there have been increased legal regulations placed on pangolin trade in recent

Sarbecoviruses Suppress Innate Immunity by Recruiting PPM1A to Modulate STAT2 and ORF9b Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sarbecovirus ORF9b recruits host phosphatase PPM1A to suppress innate immunity through dual mechanisms. PPM1A directly dephosphorylates ORF9b to sustain its activity and indirectly downregulates STAT2 phosphorylation to impair interferon signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of PPM1A restores antiviral responses and limits sarbecovirus replication ...

Essential work, invisible workers: The role of digital curation in COVID‐19 Open Science

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 703-717, April 2025.
Abstract In this paper, we examine the role digital curation practices and practitioners played in facilitating open science (OS) initiatives amid the COVID‐19 pandemic. In Summer 2023, we conducted a content analysis of available information regarding 50 OS initiatives that emerged—or substantially shifted their focus—between 2020 and 2022 to address ...

Inferring the molecular affinity of Indian pangolin with extant Manidae species based on mitochondrial genes: a wildlife forensic perspective

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Pangolins are the world`s most trafficked mammalian species classified under family Manidae and face severe threat of extinction, largely due to the illicit trade of its parts and products, especially scales, in international markets. Pangolin scales are

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

Food 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 ...

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

Oikos, 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 ...
