Anemochory of diapausing stages of microinvertebrates in North American drylands
Freshwater Biology, 2019 Abstract Dry, ephemeral, desert wetlands are major sources of windblown sediment, as well as repositories for diapausing stages (propagules) of aquatic invertebrates. Zooplankton propagules are of the same size range as sand and dust grains. They can be deflated and transported in windstorm events. This study provides evidence that dust storms aid in

EuDiS - A comprehensive database of the seed dispersal syndromes of the European flora [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 Seed dispersal is a critical process in plant colonisation and demography. Fruits and seeds can be transported by several vectors (typically animals, wind and water), which may have exerted strong selective pressures on plant’s morphological traits.
