Biological Highways in the Sky

The dispersal of microorganisms, insects and other small life forms via the atmosphere

by Cindy E. Morris, Leda N. Kobziar, Brent C. Christner, Claire Garros, François de Vleeschouwer ...

Series series Synthèses
This book explores the atmosphere as a dynamic transport system for microorganisms and small organisms such as insects. It brings together interdisciplinary competence from Life, Earth and Mathematical Sciences to describe emissions processes such as wildfire smoke, sea spray and recurrent uplift from plant canopies; transport processes and trajectories in the past, present and future; and how the ...

Evidence for Eukaryote Survival and Paleontological Strategies

Edited by Alexander Altenbach, Joan M. Bernhard, Joseph Seckbach ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
ANOXIA defines the lack of free molecular oxygen in an environment. In the presence of organic matter, anaerobic prokaryotes produce compounds such as free radicals, hydrogen sulfide, or methane that are typically toxic to aerobes. The concomitance of suppressed respiration and presence of toxic substances suggests these habitats are inhospitable to Eukaryota. Ecologists sometimes term such ... Read more
