Association of Kawasaki disease with tropospheric winds in Central Chile: Is wind-borne desert dust a risk factor?
(2015)
It has been found that Kawasaki disease (KD) cases diagnosed in Japan, Hawaii and San Diego, USA increase when tropospheric wind patterns arrive from central Asia, suggesting a common, wind-borne causal agent. We analyzed ...
Blowin’ in the wind: Wind directionality affects wetland invertebrate metacommunities in Patagonia
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Aim To assess the relative importance of wind intensity and direction in explaining wetland invertebrate metacommunity organization. Location Seventy-eight wetland ponds in Patagonia (Argentina) covering a study area of ...

Neither insects nor wind: ambophily in dioecious Chamaedorea palms (Arecaceae)
(2014)
Pollination of Neotropical dioecious trees is commonly related to generalist insects. Similar data for non‐tree species with separated genders are inconclusive. Recent studies on pollination of dioecious Chamaedorea palms ...
Invasive conifers reduce seed set of a native Andean cedar through heterospecific pollination competition
(Springer, 2015-04)
The invasion of natural forest communities by introduced woody species may threat processes that are critical for ecosystem integrity, including plant pollination and reproduction. In particular, invasive conifers (e.g., ...
Global connections between aeolian dust, climate and ocean biogeochemistry at the present day and at the last glacial maximum
(Elsevier Science, 2010-06)
Palaeo-dust records in sediments and ice cores show that wind-borne mineral aerosol ('dust') is strongly linked with climate state. During glacial climate stages, for example, the world was much dustier, with dust fluxes ...
A video camera recording method for measuring terminal velocity of seed dispersal by wind
(Springer, 2021-02)
An accurate and convenient method is essential for measuring the terminal velocity of seeds dispersed by wind. Systematic and random errors produced by existing methods lower the accuracy and convenience in determining ...
