- Modelling the effect of size on the aerial dispersal of microorganisms (2012, unknown): “In the case of dispersal between hemispheres other mechanisms may be important, such as bird migration; for example, approximately 2 billion passerine birds move between Europe and sub-Saharan Africa each year, with many crossing the equator (Hahn et al., 2009).”
