• Active dispersal of oribatid mites into young soils (2012, background): “Concerning passive transport, wind dispersal has been proven to be an important factor in soil microfauna (Nkem et al., 2006; Orr and Newton, 1971; Yeates et al., 1991) as well as mesofauna, i.”
• Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity in a changing world (2011, background): “…microbiota (and for propagules of larger organisms) within Antarctica is still recognised (Marshall 1996; Pearce et al. 2009), although few explicit aerobiological studies focussing on microbiota have been carried out in the region (but see Parker et al. 1982; Hughes et al. 2004; Nkem et al. 2006).”
• The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “Salinity gradients operating over scales of kilometers in inland regions may originate from different sources, including the leaching of soluble anions, down-slope redistribution, and/or wind-driven uphill redistribution (Nkem et al. 2006, Poage et al. 2008).”
