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).”
A review of the alien and expansive species of freshwater cyanobacteria and algae in the Czech Republic (2010, background): “Algae and cyanobacteria are thought to be spread by wind (e.g., Sharma et al. 2007), water, and larger organisms such as beetles, dragonflies, mammals (Kristiansen 1996), or turtles (Burgin and Renshaw 2008).”
Bioremediation of the textile waste effluent by Chlorella vulgaris (2014, background): “Copper and chromium compounds have known uses in textile manufacturing, particularly for dyeing processes (IPPC, 2003) Copper has also been previously reported in some dye plant effluents (Sharma et al., 2007).”
How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds (2015, background): “Dispersal by physical vectors The action of wind on temporary ponds can potentially disperse microorganisms or resting stages both from water during the wet phase (Sharma et al., 2007), and from soil during the dry phase (Graham & Wirth, 2008).”
