Abstract Introduction Since European settlement, Australia's Wet Tropics bioregion has been extensively cleared, leaving a mosaic of rainforest fragments, crops, pastures, orchards, and human settlement. Fragment isolation leads to declines in faunal diversity and genetic variability, effects potentially exacerbated by climate change. Restoring habitat

‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style
ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.
