Atmospheric aerosol particles of biological origin are a very diverse group of biological
materials and structures, including microorganisms, dispersal units, fragments and …

Dispersal costs can be classified into energetic, time, risk and opportunity costs and may be
levied directly or deferred during departure, transfer and settlement. They may equally be …

Recognition of the importance of intraspecific variation in ecological processes has been
growing, but empirical studies and models of global change have only begun to address this …

Despite the numerous studies which have been conducted during the past decade on
species ranges and their relationship to the environment, our understanding of how …

Comparative functional ecology seeks to understand why and how ecological systems and
their components operate differently across environments. Although traditionally used in …

This review surveys the large variety of mechanical interactions between wind and plants,
from plant organs to plant systems. These interactions range from leaf flutter to uprooting …

The integration of functional traits into vulnerability assessments is a promising approach to
quantitatively capture differences in species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate …

Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science devoted to provide new opportunities in a
vast range of areas. In this paper, different techniques are proposed to enable the long …

In this review we discuss studies that applied atmospheric dispersion models (ADM) to
bioaerosols that are pathogenic to humans and livestock in the context of risk assessment …

Limited knowledge of dispersal for most organisms hampers effective connectivity
conservation in fragmented landscapes. In forest ecosystems, deadwood‐dependent …
