Upper thermal tolerance in aquatic insects

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015
•Owing to the characteristics of their contrasting habitats, aquatic and terrestrial insects will respond differently to global environmental change.•A synthesis of aquatic insect thermal tolerance studies identified a weak latitudinal pattern of upper thermal traits.•Average upper thermal tolerances of aquatic insects are generally lower than those of

Urban Aquatic Insects

2019
The increasing growth of urban areas on natural ecosystems has seriously affected wetlands. Aquatic insects, as key components of urban wetlands, are critically impacted by human environmental changes and practices. The main threats are those derived from the lost, replacement, or fragmentation of natural habitats, ecosystem homogenization, and ...

5. Aquatic insects

2022
‘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, 1950
SUMMARY 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 ...

Thoughts on Aquatic Insects

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.
