Carnivorans of the Philippines: current knowledge and research gaps

Abstract There are 7 carnivoran species in the Philippines, and despite their ecological conservation importance, there has never been a review of current knowledge research efforts on these country before. Here, we present results comprehensive literature provide summary each Philippines. We searched 2 online databases (Google Scholar, Web Science) found 68 journal articles reports published between January 1990 October 2023. Research Philippine carnivorans increased steadily over past 34 years, with 54% all studies being 10 years. Palawan nearby islands accounted for 66% studies, likely because richness is higher than rest The “Spatial Ecology Habitat Use” category consisted highest number publications, but more half papers simply occurrence records from larger biodiversity studies. human–wildlife interactions practices point to hunting habitat degradation as leading threats However, population community ecology—as well other basic requirements many species—are virtually unknown. Compared similar reviews taxa Philippines countries, our reveals that seem be greatly understudied thus highlighting need species, some which threatened. Owing recent changes taxonomic status Sunda Leopard Cat Palm Civet, recognition mongoose Collared Mongoose, IUCN Red List should re-assessed.

Toward a Global Science of Conservation Genomics: Coldspots in Genomic Resources Highlight a Need for Equitable Collaborations and Capacity Building

Molecular Ecology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 17, 2025

ABSTRACT Advances in genomic sequencing have magnified our understanding of ecological and evolutionary mechanisms relevant to biodiversity conservation. As a result, the field conservation genomics has grown rapidly. Genomic data can be effective guiding decisions by revealing fine‐scale patterns genetic diversity adaptation. Adaptive potential, sometimes referred as is particularly informative for due its inverse relationship with extinction risk. Yet, global coldspots resources impede progress toward goals. We undertook systematic literature review characterise distribution amphibians reptiles relative species richness, IUCN status, predicted change. classify scope available their potential applicability Finally, we examine collaborations studies. Our findings underscore current priorities expanding resources, especially those aimed at predicting adaptive future environmental results also highlight need improved research, resource sharing, capacity building Global South.
