Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa: conditions at take-off (2007)
Journal Article
Reynolds, A. M., Bohan, D. A., & Bell, J. R. (2007). Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa: conditions at take-off. Biology Letters, 3(3), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2007.0109

We have solved a long-standing and seemingly paradoxical set of questions that relate to the conditions which govern spider ballooning. We show that observations of spider ballooning excursions are best explained by meteorological conditions which ma... Read More about Ballooning dispersal in arthropod taxa: conditions at take-off.

Place is usually considered the backdrop for motion—the ‘where’ that people move to or from. Yet contemporary processes of migration and circulation produce increasingly porous and even mobile places. Mobility offers us new ways to perceive distance—...

A comparison of sunlight exposure in men with prostate cancer and basal cell carcinoma (2007)
Journal Article
(2007). A comparison of sunlight exposure in men with prostate cancer and basal cell carcinoma. British journal of cancer, 523 -528. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.bjc.6603576

Ultraviolet radiation exposure increases basal cell carcinoma (BCC) risk, but may be protective against prostate cancer. We attempted to identify exposure patterns that confer reduced prostate cancer risk without increasing that of BCC. We used a que...
