Open Life Sciences, 2009 Abstract We measured the force of free pulling water striders, using a hair attached to their backs and a 3D strain gauge force sensor. We showed the repeatability and accuracy of this method. The error of the method was estimated by comparing the projected angles of the force vector on each plane derived from the force data, with ...

Density‐dependent sex‐biased development of macroptery in a water strider
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 17, Page 9514-9521, September 2020., 2020 Long‐winged morphs developed more frequently in males than in females when individuals were reared in a high‐density environment. However, the frequency of long‐winged morphs was not sex‐biased when individuals were reared in a low‐density environment. Abstract In wing‐polymorphic insects, wing morphs differ not only in dispersal capability but also in

Design and Control of Bioinspired Millibots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 2, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020 Millimeter‐scaled artificial insects (millibots) composed of rationally designed chemical materials including magnetite (MAG), zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are developed for remote controlling their multi‐functions by external light and/or magnetic field.

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.Using genome‐skimming, we provide a robust and comprehensive phylogeny of the Gerridae. Our data support the monophyly of all subfamilies except paraphyletic Gerrinae. Non‐monophyly was found for Gerrini, Metrobatini and Trepobatini. Additionally, we reaffirm the non‐monophyly of the genera Aquarius and Tenagogonus, both part of the Gerrinae.

Comparison of water and terrestrial jumping in natural and robotic insects
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1537, Issue 1, Page 13-31, July 2024.Jumping of small creatures demands high power to surpass size‐related speed limits. They employ various mechanisms to amplify power release. Furthermore, semi‐aquatic jumpers use specialized techniques to maximize the momentum transfer from the water.
