Climate Warming Since the Holocene Accelerates West-East Communication for the Eurasian Temperate Water Strider Species Aquarius paludum. [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2022 Holocene climate warming has dramatically altered biological diversity and distributions. Recent human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases will exacerbate global warming and thus induce threats to cold-adapted taxa.

Diapause Development in Aquarius paludum (Heteroptera: Gerridae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2004 Diapause fixation and development were studied in females of a Czech population of Aquarius paludum by monitoring changes in oxygen uptake, weight and reproduction potential in field adults between August and February.

Influence of Male Density on Guarding Behaviour in the Water Strider Aquarius paludum (Heteroptera: Gerridae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2011 In species with last sperm precedence, post-mating guarding behaviour by males is effective for avoiding sperm displacement by additional males. However, for males to guard their mates under all circumstances may be undesirable, particularly when the ...

Dispersal and Reproductive Responses of the Water Strider, Aquarius paludum (Hemiptera: Gerridae), to Changing NaCl Concentrations [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2007 The responses of females of the water strider, Aquarius paludum, to changes in NaCl concentration were examined in the laboratory. The insects were sampled seasonally in 2002 and 2003 at two reservoirs in Kochi, Japan, connected by a waterway, one at the

Feeding Conditions Modify the Photoperiodically Induced Dispersal of the Water Strider, Aquarius paludum (Heteroptera: Gerridae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2007 Overwintering adults of the water strider, Aquarius paludum were collected from the field in fall and kept under short days (12L : 12D) at 20°C for a week.

Effects of Low Temperature on the Condition of Flight Muscles and Flight Propensity in a Water Strider, Aquarius paludum (Heteroptera: Gerridae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2003 Effects of chilling on dispersal characteristics of adults of the water strider, Aquarius paludum were studied in the laboratory. The condition of flight muscles was monitored during overwintering under natural conditions in Kochi (33°N), Japan.

Responses of Life-History Traits of Brackish- and Freshwater Populations of the Water Strider to NaCl Aquarius paludum (Hemiptera: Gerridae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2009 The water strider Aquarius paludum inhabits the surfaces of a wide variety of freshwater habitats both temporary and permanent. It can also live on the surface brackish-water around river mouths.

Comparative Physical Mapping of 18S rDNA in True Bug Species of the Families Gerridae and Mesoveliidae: First Data on the Semiaquatic Infraorder Gerromorpha (Heteroptera, Hemiptera) [PDF]
Biology(1) Background: Over the past few decades, the number and chromosomal arrangement of rDNA loci have been successfully used as cytogenetic markers in comparative studies of many insect taxa, including the hemipteran suborder Heteroptera (or true bugs). Of

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 11, Page 1371-1387, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Research on population genetic patterns and potential distribution dynamics can provide insights into the development of pest management strategies. Herein, we integrated population genetic analyses with the climatic niche approach to investigate spatial population genetic variations and potential geographical distribution (PGD) of the ...
