Human parainfluenza 3 and respiratory syncytial viruses detected in pangolins
, 2022 Pangolins have gained increasing global attention owing to their public health significance as potential zoonotic hosts since the identification of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses in them. Moreover, these animals could carry other respiratory viruses. In this

Genomic Diversity of the Endangered Guinan Toad‐Headed Lizard and Its Conservation Implications
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We produced HiFi long reads and assembled a high‐quality genome for the Guinan toad‐headed lizard—Phrynocephalus guinanensis—and present a comprehensive conservation genomics assessment. Our findings clearly show population structure, a reduced genetic diversity pattern, and a strong bottleneck in demographic history, reaffirming the endangered status ...

Opium Cultivation Imperilling Endangered Species in Northern Laos
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.To avoid government eradication efforts, farmers in northeastern Laos shifted opium cultivation deep into a national park, causing a > 1000% increase in protected forest cleared for the crop between 2018 and 2022. This displacement directly threatened endangered species like white‐cheeked gibbons, elephants, and dholes by causing a rise in hunting ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Rapid assessment of the delayed impacts of fires on endangered species is essential for accurately guiding conservation efforts. After the fire, surviving Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni) showed only minor behavior alterations, and burnt habitats continued to provide them with essential resources.

International trade in pangolins (\kur{Manis} spp.)
, 2016 The aim of this work was to evaluate international trade with Manis. spp. according to the CITES database during the period 2002-2013. Manis spp. was classified in appendix II CITES in 1995. In 2000 there was an unsuccesfull attempt to reclassified Manis

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Wild‐sourced wildlife trade is not only increasing in volume but also changing in network structure. Using three decades of CITES trade records, we found that the wild‐sourced wildlife trade has become increasingly connected and taxonomically uneven, with Anthozoa contributing a growing share.

Defensive Behaviors of Pangolins and Predatory Behaviors of Their Predators
, 2020 Pangolins have poor vision, and thus rely on their smell and hearing to avoid predation while they are feeding on insects. Pangolins are preyed upon by many of the top predators in their habitats in Asia and Africa, such as lions and leopards, as well as

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The order Xenarthra presents unique morphophysiological adaptations related to its specialized ecological niches. This study investigates the functional morphology and comparative myology of the thoracic limb in Cyclopes didactylus (silky anteater) and Tamandua tetradactyla (southern tamandua) to elucidate how muscle arrangements support ...
