Abstract excerpt

The white-bellied pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis) serves as a critical biogeographic indicator for understanding faunal diversification in African rainforests and is a priority for conservation due to its status as the most heavily trafficked and endangered mammal. However, the species' evolutionary history and the genetic consequences of population decline remain unclear. In this study, we conducted...
