Risks of concealing environmental degradation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

More Science Than Art: The First Botanical Garden in Portugal (c. 1650)
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gabriel Grisley, a German physician, came to Portugal and founded a garden near the Xabregas River in Lisbon, during the 1610s under the Spanish kings' rule. In view of the utility a botanic garden represented for the kingdom, he was able to obtain a royal privilege from King João IV during the Restauration War against the Spanish (1640–1668).

Advanced Oncology, Volume 1, Issue 1, December 2026.ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...
