ABSTRACT Aims Climate change poses severe threats to biodiversity in Australia, particularly for species already at risk from other factors, such as bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus spp.). Here we model climate‐driven changes in suitable climatic conditions for bluetongue lizards to 2060 and 2100 under multiple climate scenarios and ...

The Evil Enemy: Belief in Conspiracy Theories Predicts Attitudes to War
ABSTRACT Political leaders often justify war with conspiracy theories. How effective are such conspiracy theories in gathering public support for war? The present research has investigated the effects of conspiracy theories on people's war‐related attitudes.

Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.

Second law, entropy production, and reversibility in thermodynamics of information
We present a pedagogical review of the fundamental concepts in thermodynamics of information, by focusing on the second law of thermodynamics and the entropy production.

The simplicity of physical laws
Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

Maxwell’s Demon and Comoving Observers in General Relativity: What Do They Have in Common?
We elaborate on the similarities between the explanation of the well known Maxwell’s demon paradox, based on the theory of information, and the rationale behind the fact that real dissipative (entropy producing) processes may be detected by non–comoving ...

Modeling the Formation of Electric and Magnetic Fields in Dust Devils
Abstract Dust devils are a weather phenomenon in which lofted particles become charged through triboelectrification, generating electromagnetic fields. These pose hazards for electronic equipment and affect biological systems. We present a new methodology for simulating the formation of electromagnetic fields within and near dust devils.

Entropy production and fluctuations in a Maxwell's refrigerator with squeezing
Clarifying the impact of quantumness in the operation and properties of thermal machines represents a major challenge. Here we envisage a toy model acting either as an information-driven fridge or as heat-powered information eraser in which coherences ...

Thermoelectric Processes of Quantum Normal‐Superconductor Interfaces
Recent advances on using mesoscopic normal‐superconductor junctions for the thermoelectric effect is reviewed. A theoretical framework is presented for multiterminal configurations exploiting properties characterised by the interplay of the system reduced dimensionality and superconducting correlations.
