1. Inland wetlands constitute ecological islands of aquatic habitat often isolated by huge
areas of non‐suitable terrestrial habitats. Although most aquatic organisms lack the capacity …

Although Darwin pioneered the study of long‐distance dispersal (LDD) of aquatic
invertebrates via waterbirds, it remains in its infancy as a modern discipline. A handful of …

A wide range of arthropod-borne viruses threaten both human and animal health either
through their presence in Europe or through risk of introduction. Prominent among these is …

Paired grain, shoot, and soil of 173 individual sample sets of commercially farmed temperate
rice, wheat, and barley were surveyed to investigate variation in the assimilation and …

In this paper, we review some potential implications of waterbird ecology for their role as
dispersers of aquatic plants and invertebrates. We focus particularly on internal transport …

Abstract Abstract. Charadrii (shorebirds, gulls, and alcids) have an unusual diversity in their
sexual size dimorphism, ranging from monomorphism to either male‐biased or female …

Speculation about the role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic invertebrates pre-dates
Darwin. However, there is a critical shortage of field studies quantifying such dispersal. We …

In 1950, Rensch first described that in groups of related species, sexual size dimorphism is
more pronounced in larger species. This widespread and fundamental allometric …

Objectives The objective of this study was to examine the associations of brain tumours with
radio frequency (RF) fields from mobile phones. Methods Patients with brain tumour from the …

We study the clinical, management and outcome differences between respiratory syncytial
virus (RSV) positive and negative bronchiolitis. A retrospective review of the medical records …
