The ability to disperse is vital for all organisms, but especially for those whose habitats
deteriorate, necessitating relocation to better feeding or breeding sites. Phoresy is assisted …

The ability to disperse has continually shaped both the distribution and diversification of
biota, and it affects the survival of the species with respect to wide-ranging habitat loss. As a …

The salinity barrier that separates marine and freshwater biomes is probably the most
important division in biodiversity on Earth. Those organisms that successfully performed this …
