Tolerance of benthic diatoms from temperate aquatic and terrestrial habitats to experimental desiccation and temperature stress (2010, background): “Apart from the importance of stress tolerance for local population persistence, aerial dispersal success also depends on tolerance for stress factors such as desiccation, UV irradiance and abrupt temperature changes (Isard & Gage 2001; Figuerola & Green 2002; Sharma et al. 2007).”
Long‐distance biological transport processes through the air: can nature's complexity be unfolded in silico? (2005, background): “Small-scale, short-term turbulent deviations from the mean airflow not only dictate the flight of a feather but also profoundly influence the transport of a variety of organisms through the air (Edmonds, 1979; Isard & Gage, 2001).”
Principles of the Atmospheric Pathway for Invasive Species Applied to Soybean Rust (2005, background): “Global circulation patterns dictate that likely sources of spores transported by aerial currents to the continental United States would be from either South America or Africa (Nagarajan and Singh 1990, Isard and Gage 2001).”
