‘Aquatic insects’ explores the adaptations and lifestyles of insects that spend some or all of their life in or on water. Every inland waterbody, whether a river, stream seepage, or lake, supports a biological community. Insects can also be found in puddles and some, such as the pitcher plant mosquito are especially adapted to exploit the water-filled ...

PLASTRON RESPIRATION IN AQUATIC INSECTS
Biological Reviews, 1950SUMMARY The closed tracheal system of the aquatic larvae of insects, together with the typical tracheal gill, can only function if the tracheal tubes themselves have sufficient resistance to compression. The work of Ege showed conclusively that the ‘air stores’ of many aquatic insects can, if they are in communication with the spiracles, function as ...

BioScience, 1981
Aquatic adults seldom have terrestrial juveniles. Respiratory problems may lead to tropical species being smaller than related temperate ones. Suctorial feeding on higher plants seems unknown. Cryptic coloration is common, aposematic, and epigamic rare.

Annual Review of Entomology, 1962
It is generally preferable to use principles or factors as the headings in an article on ecology, but, if these can be illustrated only by examples drawn from one group, discussion of them is necessarily one-sided and incomplete. I have, therefore, decided to present the facts that I have gathered order by order.

Territoriality in Aquatic Insects
2019Research on territoriality has barely progressed beyond the descriptive stage in most aquatic insects, but some territorial species have been studied intensively and served as model organisms for testing certain aspects of evolutionary theory. After providing a brief introduction to territoriality in general, I review the taxonomic distribution and ...

All habitats change over time, so most organisms must resist unfavorable conditions or disperse to more favorable localities. Typically, aquatic habitats are relatively short lived because of drying or infilling. Aquatic insects, then, often have adaptations for effective dispersal, sometimes over long distances and most often by flight.
