Advancing global DNA-referencing of bushmeat in African tropical forests: a tool for identifying trade hotspots and dynamics in western and central Africa

The paper develops a DNA-typing reference database to trace bushmeat trade in Africa, identifying species and trade hotspots with high accuracy.

From deserts to forests: sequencing of the giant forest hog completes the genomic history of the African Suids

This paper presents the first whole-genome data for the giant forest hog, revealing its evolutionary relationship with warthogs and significant genetic differentiation between populations.

A wide diversity of viruses detected in African mammals involved in the wild meat supply chain

The paper reports the detection of 15 virus strains in 27 African wild mammal species and one domesticated species, highlighting new host ranges and potential zoonotic risks.

Conservation genetics of the white-bellied pangolin in West Africa: a story of lineage admixture, declining demography and wide sourcing by urban bushmeat markets

This study reveals genetic admixture, population decline, and wide sourcing of white-bellied pangolins in West Africa, highlighting conservation concerns and the need for multi-locus trade tracking.

Pangolin genomes offer key insights and resources for the world's most trafficked wild mammals

This paper presents genomic resources for pangolins, including reference genomes and orthologous gene databases, to aid in conservation and forensic efforts.

Genetic tracing of the white-bellied pangolins (Phataginus tricuspis) trade in western central Africa

This study uses genetic data from white-bellied pangolins to trace trade routes and assess population dynamics in western Central Africa.

The antique genetic plight of the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus)

This study analyzes the population genetics of Mediterranean monk seals, revealing four distinct populations and historical declines driven by human activity and isolation.

Can DNA help trace the local trade of pangolins? A genetic assessment of white-bellied pangolins from the Dahomey Gap (West Africa)

The paper uses genetic data to trace pangolin trade in the Dahomey Gap, finding population declines and limited ability to track individuals due to low genetic structure.
