Detection of an endangered aquatic heteropteran using environmental DNA in a wetland ecosystem [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) has recently been employed to evaluate the distribution of various aquatic macroorganisms. Although this technique has been applied to a broad range of taxa, from vertebrates to invertebrates, its application is ...

Sex on the Beach: Sexual Size Dimorphism Among Aquatic Bugs (Nepomorpha) Inhabiting Different Habitats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We examined the degree of sexual size dimorphism (SSD), based on body length, in approximately 45% of known water bug (Nepomorpha) species. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, we found that females are not significantly longer than males in most species. Our research revealed that habitat plays a significant role in SSD.

Contributions to the knowledge of water bugs in Mindoro Island, Philippines, with a species checklist of Nepomorpha and Gerromorpha (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020
This survey aims to provide an updated species checklist of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs in the intra-Philippine biogeographic region of Mindoro. An assessment survey of water bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) was conducted by mostly manual collection in ...

Diversity of aquatic and semi-aquatic Heteroptera (Insecta) assemblages from two urban rivers in Northwestern Argentina

Acta Biológica Colombiana
In Argentina, studies on aquatic Heteroptera have been conducted in the northwestern, northeastern, Pampean, Cuyo, and Patagonian regions, most of which have been carried out in protected areas.

Density-Dependent Effects of Amphibian Prey on the Growth and Survival of an Endangered Giant Water Bug

Insects, 2011
Amphibian predator–insect prey relationships are common in terrestrial habitats, but amphibian larvae are preyed upon by a variety of aquatic hemipterans in aquatic habitats.

Exploring the Mitogenomes of Acroneuriinae: The First Report of Gene Rearrangements in Plecoptera Species and Phylogenetic Analyses of Perlidae. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
First reported gene rearrangements in plecopteran mitogenomes. The monophyly of the subfamily Acroneuriinae and the phylogenetic relationships among tribes within this subfamily are still controversial. ABSTRACT Perlidae represents one of the most diverse and ecologically important groups within the order Plecoptera.

Ecological aspects of Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Heteroptera in East Maranhense

, 2021
O objetivo foi descrever aspectos ecológicos da subordem Heteroptera e associar a alguns fatores abióticos e características ambientais. As coletas foram realizadas em seis igarapés, sendo realizado em cada local um transecto de 50m, dividido em cinco pontos de 10m, nos quais os espécimes foram coletados com auxílio de uma rede entomológica aquática ...

Multi‐Omics Profiling of the Scaphoideus titanus Yeast‐Like Symbiont Guides the Bioinformatic Discovery of Related Fungal Symbioses in Insects

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Conservation priorities for Neotropical water striders (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerridae) under climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Hydrologic changes driven by climate change are affecting aquatic biota in the Neotropical Region, with significant impacts on water striders. Species distribution models predict an increase in conservation importance for the northern Andes and coastal areas of eastern South America, while central South America shows a decline. The observed changes are
