Pangolins form a group of scaly mammals that are trafficked at record numbers for their meat
and purported medicinal properties. Despite their conservation concern, knowledge of their …

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 …

Eight extant species of pangolins are currently recognized. Recent studies found that two
mitochondrial haplotypes identified in confiscations in Hong Kong could not be assigned to …

We report the first chromosome-length genome assemblies for three species in the
mammalian order Pholidota: the white-bellied, Chinese, and Sunda pangolins. Surprisingly …

Background: Archipelagos and oceanic islands often present high percentage of endemism
due to rapid speciation. The Malayan pangolin is a species distributing at both mainland …

Pangolins (order Pholidota) are the only mammals covered by scales. We have recently
sequenced and analyzed the genomes of two critically endangered Asian pangolin species …

Poaching and trafficking have a substantial negative impact on the population growth and
range expansion of the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla). However, recently reported …

Pangolins are among the most critically endangered animals due to heavy poaching and
worldwide trafficking. However, their demographic histories and the genomic consequences …

Abstract Pangolins (Pholidota, Manidae) are classified as an evolutionarily distinct and
globally endangered mammal due to their unique morphology (nail‐like scales and a …

The use of genome-wide genetic markers is an emerging approach for informing evidence-
based management decisions for highly threatened species. Pangolins are the most heavily …
