- Specialized
- Aerobiology is the study of the biological processes involving the movement of organisms in the atmosphere from one geographic position to another (Moulton 1942, Gregory 1973).

Examples
-
This general model of the aerobiological processes was used as the foundation of the integrated aerobiology modeling system (IAMS), built to forecast invasions of important species that use the atmospheric pathway.

The whole idea of aerobiology is to look at what what organisms are out there, what can survive.
-
The aerobiology knowledge base is organized and managed using a set of relational databases.
Academic text (2005) -
A vital challenge in aerobiology is to develop cost-effective technologies to build and maintain a global network for monitoring plant pollen, spores, insects, and other important aerobiota.

The concepts presented in this article form the basis of the soybean rust aerobiology prediction system (SRAPS) that was developed to assess potential pathogen movement from South America to the United States.
Academic text (2005) -
The study of aerobiology focuses on how airborne organisms like pollen can affect the environment.
-
Researchers in aerobiology investigate how spores are transported through the air and their ecological effects.

Etymology
Aerobiology comes from aero- 'air' and biology 'study of life'. So it means the study of tiny living things that travel in the air, like pollen, spores and bacteria, which helps explain allergies and how diseases can spread.
