Putting gene drives into context
Engineered gene drives are an emerging technology for the large-scale genetic modification of natural populations of species. They are controversial due to high levels of uncertainty about their risks and benefits. We analyze gene drives in their social, natural, and technological contexts. We discuss their depth of intervention and compare gene drives to “conventional” genetic modification techniques and to other novel high-impact technologies. …
Embracing change
Combining ecological and socio-cultural analysis, we propose embracing the future-oriented concept of novel ecosystems. This perspective offers an alternative to the backwards-looking conservation attitude that uses metaphors of biological invasion, for example. With the case study of species whose range is shifting to include cities, we show that in a world of environmental novelty, effective conservation thinking must supplement narratives of i…
From novel ecosystems to novel natures
Ecologists, particularly restoration ecologists, were early to recognise the challenges of historically unprecedented combinations of species and abiotic conditions brought about by human intervention. However, to date, this ecological understanding has paid limited attention to sociocultural considerations. We propose the concept of novel natures to combine ecological and social dimensions in the perception and evaluation of novelty in nature, a…
