Pangolin museum genomics reveal the dynamic genetic consequences and extinction risk of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin.

Abstract excerpt

Human-driven biodiversity loss, intensified by illegal hunting and trafficking, has caused severe wildlife population declines and extinctions, necessitating studies on long-term genomic erosion to inform conservation strategies. While temporal genomic analyses using ancient and historical/museum DNA reveal generational impacts, sparse sampling often limits insights into prolonged declines, highlighting the need...
