| the complete phylogeny of pangolins: scaling up resources for the molecular tracing of the most trafficked mammals on earth. | 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. here, we present the most comprehensive phylogenetic assessment of pangolins, based on genetic variation of complete mitogenomes and 9 nuclear genes. we confirm deep divergence among asian and african pangolins occurring not later than the oligo ... | 2018 | 29140441 |
| phylogenetic relationship and molecular dating of indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata) with other extant pangolin species based on complete cytochrome b mitochondrial gene. | pangolins are a group of eight endangered mammalian species included in the family manidae (order pholidota) and divided into four each african (arboreal species; phataginus tetradactyla, phataginus tricuspis, ground dwelling species; smutsia gigantea and smutsia temminckii) and asian (ground dwelling; manis crassicaudata, manis pentadactyla, manis javanica and manis culionensis) species. the taxonomy of all the eight extant pangolin species based on molecular genetics studies, remains unresolve ... | 2018 | 29540087 |
| habitat preference and den characterization of indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata) in a tropical lowland forested landscape of southwest sri lanka. | the indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata) is under threat due to hunting for local consumption and illegal trafficking of scales and meat. the dearth of scientific studies on the ecology of the m. crassicaudata has impaired accurate assessments of its conservation needs. this study investigated the habitat preference and burrow characteristics of m. crassicaudata in a tropical lowland rainforest in southwest sri lanka. a total of 75 burrows (54 feeding burrows and 21 resting burrows) of m. crass ... | 2018 | 30403703 |
| dataset of distribution, habitats and conservation status of the indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata) in sri lanka. | indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata) is the only pangolin species present in sri lanka. there is no comprehensive assessment of its ecology or conservation status carried out in the sri lankan context. the dataset described herein is a compilation of information on the distribution, habitats and conservation status of indian pangolins in sri lanka which is collected from a variety of primary and secondary data sources. all information included in the dataset has been recorded between january 20 ... | 2020 | 31909106 |
| a method for rapid assessment of the distribution and conservation status of indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata) in an extended geographical region. | development of an effective conservation management strategy for the indian pangolins (manis crassicaudata) found in sri lanka is hindered due to lack of solid evidence based distribution and ecological data on indian pangolins. we employed a rapid and cost-effective method based on reliable information by combining primary and secondary data. the method was predominantly based on secondary data from the official records maintained by the government and non-governmental institutions related to w ... | 2020 | 32477893 |
| pangolin indexing system: implications in forensic surveillance of large seizures. | demand for pangolin scales in east asia has increased dramatically in the past two decades, raising concern to the pangolin survival and bringing them to the brink of local extinction. enumerating the number of individuals from the seized pangolin scales primarily goes undocumented, mostly due to the unavailability of the appropriate methods. in this study, we developed a pangolin indexing system, a multi-locus str panel of eight dinucleotide microsatellites that showed promising results in indi ... | 2020 | 32621146 |
| protocols for recording morphometric measurement of indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata). | accurate morphological description of species has essential implications in field identification and cladistics. pangolins (mammalia: pholidota) are considered the world's most trafficked mammals. the indian pangolin has a wide geographical distribution in the indian subcontinent. however, morphoanatomical variations of m. crassicaudata across its range are poorly understood. the published morphoanatomical descriptions have disparities, partly due to the lack of standard protocols and procedures ... | 2020 | 32817841 |
| evidence for the medicinal value of squama manitis (pangolin scale): a systematic review. | squama manitis (pangolin scale) has been used in traditional chinese medicine for thousands of years. however, its efficacy has not been systematically reviewed. this review aims to fill the gap. | 2021 | 32837905 |
