“…Impacts of ice and environmental loss also require appreciating how environmental loss is differentially experienced and known, as Schmidt (2021) argues in his analysis of the growing phenomenon of holding funerals for melted glaciers. Matthews et al (2022) argue that conservation efforts targeting ‘species on the move’ in response to environmental change must not come at expense of Indigenous and local peoples. As Luo and Gao (2022) show in their analysis of international trade in elephant ivory, there is an important role for ethics and values that spans contexts, borders and transnational spaces affecting both humans and more-than-human relations.…”

This report on geography and ethics focusses on the justification of normative evaluations. Justifying why actions are right or wrong often relies on appeals to high-order principles, such as the common good. But this is not always the case, as this report shows by identifying an ethics of anti-oppression that relies instead on struggles against individual and social harms and the conditions that generate them. Through resistance, ethics of anti-oppression also shift the terms of normative justification across a range of considerations within geography and beyond it, from refugees and asylum seekers to food production and blockades against extractive infrastructure.

“…The investigation of population ecology, adaptive evolution, and molecular responses of species to climate change is important to ecosystem science, conservation, and management (Parmesan, 2006). For instance, the Anthropocene is marked by escalating cases of species expanding and/or shifting their biogeographic range distributions in response to climate change (Chen et al, 2011;Pinsky et al, 2013), and new ranges often present new environmental and human-induced stressors that challenge and direct the physiological function, population viability, and evolutionary trajectory of the range-expanding species (Fields et al, 1993;Hazen et al, 2013;Matthew et al, 2022). Thus, in the face of climate change, it is essential to understand the ability of species to adapt to new environmental conditions to sustainably manage their populations and to support ecosystem function and resilience (Byrne et al, 2020).…”

Understanding the genomic characteristics of non-model organisms can bridge research gaps between ecology and evolution. However, the lack of a reference genome and transcriptome for these species makes their study challenging. Here, we complete the first full genome and transcriptome sequence assembly of the non-model organism Kellet’s whelk, Kelletia kelletii, a marine gastropod exhibiting a poleward range expansion coincident with climate change. We used a combination of Oxford Nanopore Technologies, PacBio, and Illumina sequencing platforms and integrated a set of bioinformatic pipelines to create the most complete and contiguous genome documented among the Buccinoidea superfamily to date. Genome validation revealed relatively high completeness with low missing metazoan Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) and an average coverage of ∼70x for all contigs. Genome annotation identified a large number of protein-coding genes similar to some other closely related species, suggesting the presence of a complex genome structure. Transcriptome assembly and analysis of individuals during their period of peak embryonic development revealed highly expressed genes associated with specific Gene Ontology (GO) terms and metabolic pathways, most notably lipid, carbohydrate, glycan, and phospholipid metabolism. We also identified numerous heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the transcriptome and genome that may be related to coping with thermal stress during the sessile life history stage. A robust reference genome and transcriptome for the non-model organism K. kelletii provide resources to enhance our understanding of its ecology and evolution and potential mechanisms of range expansion for marine species facing environmental changes.

“…43 Every day, it is likely that enormous numbers of individuals move across biogeographic barriers at a global scale. 44,45 Though only a small fraction of the translocated species survive, 46 the expansion of NAS has greatly altered fish biogeography, especially in freshwater ecosystems, reducing the uniqueness of fish fauna 47 and leading to biotic homogenization by reducing beta diversity. 48,49 China is a vast country with diverse environments which allows NAS to spread far and wide.…”

“…The natural dispersal of a limited number of species may only affect regional fish fauna, however, changes to physical and biological environments, as well as deliberate anthropogenic transport, have greatly enhanced the ability of fish to overcome natural biogeographic obstacles 43 .

Aquaculture, especially of non-native species and translocated domestic species, is a greatly encouraged way of relieving the conflicts between food and economic demand and resource depletion. We herein summarized the introduction history of non-native fish for aquacultural use in China, including 105 species introduced from abroad and 61 species translocated domestically across river basins, which has brought great economic benefits but high ecological risks. Of these, one-fourth have successfully established wild populations in natural waters and 15% have successfully invaded. We presented specific examples of seven aquaculture species/taxa and three aquarium species/taxa to explain their outcomes. The notable economic benefits, complex species composition and strain selection of tilapias, carps and sturgeons may together facilitate their invasion, and result in fish diversity decline, genetic pollution, and loss of ecosystem service. We specifically reviewed invasion cases in lakes and reservoirs and found that lakes in western China and reservoirs made by major This article is a Sena De Silva paper. The Sena De Silva paper is an honorific title dedicated to the memory of Professor Sena De Silva, who was the founding editor of Reviews in Aquaculture and a globally renowned aquaculture scholar, pioneer and advocate. The title is awarded to high quality articles that excel in one, or more, of the following qualities: i) Novelty and originality; ii) Likelihood of direct positive impacts for the aquaculture sector, with keen focus on any of, or all three: environmental sustainability, economic viability, and social responsibility iii) Overall quality of scientific reasonings coupled with realworld applicability.
