    Abstract: The Asian arowana ( Scleropages formosus ), one of the world’s most expensive cultivated ornamental fishes, is an endangered species. It represents an ancient lineage of teleosts: the Osteoglossomorpha. Here, we provide a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of a female golden-variety arowana using a combination of deep shotgun sequencing and high-resolution linkage mapping. In addition, we have also generated two draft genome assemblies for the red and green varieties. Phylogenomic analysis supports a sister group relationship between Osteoglossomorpha (bonytongues) and Elopomorpha (eels and relatives), with the two clades together forming a sister group of Clupeocephala which includes all the remaining teleosts. The arowana genome retains the full complement of eight Hox clusters unlike the African butterfly fish ( Pantodon buchholzi ), another bonytongue fish, which possess only five Hox clusters. Differential gene expression among three varieties provides insights into the genetic basis of colour variation. A potential heterogametic sex chromosome is identified in the female arowana karyotype, suggesting that the sex is determined by a ZW/ZZ sex chromosomal system. The high-quality reference genome of the golden arowana and the draft assemblies of the red and green varieties are valuable resources for understanding the biology, adaptation and behaviour of Asian arowanas.

    Abstract: Global trade in non‐native ornamental species coupled with high connectivity among countries is well known to result in worldwide biological invasions, which pose challenges for the conservation and management of biodiversity. There are few studies aimed at implementing management strategies that have examined differences in the potential invasiveness of non‐native species between neighbouring political regions within the same ecoregion. To compare the potential risk of invasiveness of non‐native ornamental fishes with high commercial value in the river basins of two neighbouring regions of East and Southeast Asia, 32 extant and horizon species were screened with the aquatic species invasiveness screening kit ( as‐isk ) for the lower Pearl River basin (South China) and the Chao Phraya River basin (Thailand). Both regional (i.e. basin level) and combined risk‐ranking thresholds were determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Of the 32 species screened, 14 were categorized as posing a high risk and seven were categorized as posing a medium risk of being invasive in both regions, under current and future climate conditions. These species have a history of invasiveness and the climate of their native ranges is similar to that of the two study regions. Pterygoplichthys pardalis received the highest risk score in both regions. The risk ranks of 11 species differed between the two regions, based on either the combined or regional thresholds, and this was partly related to the different risk of invasiveness between the two regions, coupled with cognitive subjectivity among the assessors. The results of the present study suggest that the invasion of non‐native ornamental fish species could pose similar threats to biodiversity in neighbouring regions. This will serve to inform policy makers of neighbouring countries in the development of coordinated, mutually beneficial regulations and management strategies to enhance the conservation of native species.

    Abstract: The ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution adversely influences the human health and natural environment. The size distribution of ambient PM determines the physiochemical and optical properties of ambient aerosol, whereas it reflects the variability in local and regional PM emission sources and formation mechanisms. In the present work, the size distribution and characteristics of the carbonaceous, ionic, elemental, and saccharide species were categorically investigated for the fraction-wise PM in Tianjin during 2018 early summer. The average concentrations were 32.4, 20.9, and 49.3 μg/m 3 for the PM 1 , PM 1 – 2.5 , and PM 2.5 – 10 , respectively. The coarse PM 2.5 – 10 accounted for most of the PM 10 mass (47%), followed by the fine PM 1 (33%) and intermodal PM 1 – 2.5 (20%). The carbonaceous and ionic species exhibited bimodal distribution and were distributed mostly to the fine size fraction and then to the coarse size fraction. The elemental species exhibited unimodal distribution and were distributed mostly to the coarse size fraction. The specific saccharide species indicated the significant contribution of biomass burning and primary biogenic emissions. The bimodal mass size distribution of levoglucosan indicated the significant biomass burning contributions to the fine and coarse size fractions. The unimodal glucose, fructose, and arabitol distribution and the bimodal mannitol distribution indicated the dominant primary biogenic contributions to the coarse size fraction. The PM 1 /PM 10 , PM 1 – 2.5 /PM 10 , PM 2.5 – 10 /PM 10 , OC/EC, SOC/OC, AE/CE, NO 3 – /SO 4 2– , K + /EC, and levoglucosan/K + ratios were used to investigate the characteristics of the ambient size-fractionated PM. The anthropogenic sources (combustion processes, traffic emissions, and secondary particles, etc.) contributed mostly to the fine PM 1 and intermodal PM 1 – 2.5 fractions, whereas the natural sources (primary biogenic, marine salt, and mineral dust, etc.) contributed mostly to the coarse PM 2.5 – 10 fraction. This work is a significant addition to the multi-size ambient PM’s size distribution and characterization studies.

    Abstract: Constructing 2D heterojunctions with high performance is the critical solution for the optoelectronic applications of 2D materials. This work reports on the studies on the preparation of high-quality van der Waals SiAs single crystals and high-performance photodetectors based on the 2D SiAs/SnS2 heterojunction. The crystals are grown using the chemical vapor transport (CVT) method and then the bulk crystals are exfoliated to a few layers. Raman spectroscopic characterization shows that the low wavenumber peaks from interlayer vibrations shift significantly along with SiAs’ thickness. In addition, when van der Waals heterojunctions of p-type SiAs/n-type SnS2 are fabricated, under the source-drain voltage of −1 V–1 V, they exhibit prominent rectification characteristics, and the ratio of forwarding conduction current to reverse shutdown current is close to 102, showing a muted response of 1 A/W under excitation light of 550 nm. The light responsivity and external quantum efficiency are increased by 100 times those of SiAs photodetectors. Our experimental results enrich the research on the IVA–VA group p-type layered semiconductors.

    Abstract: Intraspecific variation in stoichiometric traits was thought to be an adaptive response to reduce the elemental imbalance between organism and diet in the habitat. Studying the spatial variation of stoichiometric traits of non‐native species and the factors contributing to the variation could help to better understand the invasion mechanism of non‐native fish. In this study, stoichiometric traits (i.e. carbon [C], phosphorus [P] , calcium [Ca] and their ratios) variation in the body and organs of non‐native sailfin catfishes Pterygoplichthys spp. were investigated across 13 river sections in the main river basins of Guangdong province. The relationships between environmental factors and stoichiometric traits were analyzed using a general linear model and an information‐theoretic approach. A manipulated feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of food quality on the stoichiometry of sailfin catfishes in a greenhouse. Sailfin catfishes exhibited considerable variability in body and organ elemental composition. Site identity was the main factor contributing to the variation, which could be explained by a combination of environmental factors including climate, diet quality, fish species richness and trophic status in the invaded rivers. Water chemistry (i.e. total nitrogen and phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen and soluble reactive phosphorus) contributed to the most variation of stoichiometric traits. Imbalances of P and Ca between sailfin catfishes and food resources varied among sampling sites, reflecting the spatial heterogeneity of nutrients limitation. Juvenile sailfin catfishes exhibited stoichiometric homeostasis (0  〈  1/H  〈  0.25) for all elemental contents and ratios in the feeding experiment. These findings suggested variation in stoichiometric traits of sailfin catfishes might be attributed to the changes in elemental metabolism to cope with context‐specific environments. This study provided heuristic knowledge about environmental‐related variation in stoichiometric traits, which could enhance the understanding of the non‐native species' adaptation to resource fluctuation in the invaded ecosystems.

    Abstract: Evolutionary experience and the phylogenetic relationships of plants have both been proposed to influence herbivore–plant interactions and plant invasion success. However, the direction and magnitude of these effects, and how such patterns are altered with increasing temperature, are rarely studied. Through laboratory functional response experiments, we tested whether the per capita feeding efficiency of an invasive generalist herbivore, the golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata , is dependent on the biogeographic origin and phylogenetic relatedness of host plants, and how increasing temperature alters these dependencies. The feeding efficiency of the herbivore was highest on plant species with which it had no shared evolutionary history, that is, novel plants. Further, among evolutionarily familiar plants, snail feeding efficiency was higher on those species more closely related to the novel plants. However, these biogeographic dependencies became less pronounced with increasing temperature, whereas the phylogenetic dependence was unaffected. Collectively, our findings indicate that the susceptibility of plants to this invasive herbivore is mediated by both biogeographic origin and phylogenetic relatedness. We hypothesize that warming erodes the influence of evolutionary exposure, thereby altering herbivore–plant interactions and perhaps the invasion success of plants.
