Aims and Scopes

The journal 'BIOLOGIA' focuses on the intricate relationships between biological organisms and their environments, particularly through the lens of aerobiology. It encompasses a wide range of studies that explore the impact of airborne biological particles on health, ecology, and climate change.
  1. Aerobiology and Pollen Dynamics:
    Research articles delve into the dynamics of airborne pollen and spores, including their concentrations, dispersal patterns, and their implications for health and environmental monitoring.
  2. Bioaerosol Characterization:
    Studies frequently assess the composition and impact of bioaerosols, including bacterial and fungal communities, in various environments such as urban, rural, and indoor settings.
  3. Impact of Environmental Factors:
    The journal highlights the interactions between environmental variables (e.g., pollution, climate) and biological particles, examining how these factors influence health outcomes and ecological dynamics.
  4. Health Implications of Airborne Particles:
    Research often investigates the health implications of exposure to airborne allergens and pathogens, emphasizing the relationship between air quality and public health.
  5. Technological Advances in Monitoring:
    The journal publishes innovative methodologies for monitoring airborne biological particles, including advancements in automatic detection and analysis techniques.
In recent years, 'BIOLOGIA' has shown a shift towards emerging themes that reflect current global challenges and advances in technology. This section outlines the key trends that are gaining traction in the journal's publications.
  1. Climate Change and Airborne Allergens:
    Research increasingly focuses on the impact of climate change on pollen production and distribution, highlighting the health risks associated with changing allergenic profiles.
  2. Integration of AI in Aerobiology:
    There is a growing trend towards incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning in the monitoring and analysis of pollen and bioaerosol data, enhancing predictive capabilities.
  3. Health Risk Assessment Related to Bioaerosols:
    An emerging theme involves the assessment of health risks associated with bioaerosols, particularly in connection to respiratory diseases and allergies, as public health concerns rise.
  4. Microbial Diversity in Airborne Samples:
    Studies focusing on the diversity of microbial communities in the air, including their ecological roles and potential pathogenicity, are increasingly prominent.
  5. Real-Time Monitoring Technologies:
    The journal is seeing a rise in research dedicated to the development and implementation of real-time monitoring technologies for airborne biological particles, reflecting a shift towards timely data collection.

Declining or Waning

While 'BIOLOGIA' has maintained a strong focus on aerobiology and its health implications, certain themes have become less prominent in recent publications. This section highlights these waning areas of research.
  1. Traditional Indoor Air Quality Studies:
    Research focusing solely on traditional indoor air quality without integrating biological aspects has seen a decline, as the journal increasingly emphasizes the role of bioaerosols.
  2. Historical Context of Aerobiology:
    Studies that primarily focus on historical data or past events in aerobiology are becoming less frequent, as the journal shifts towards current trends and real-time monitoring.
  3. General Environmental Studies:
    While the journal still publishes articles related to environmental science, there is a noticeable decrease in generalized environmental studies that do not specifically address the biological components of air quality.
