Dispersal and Migration Patterns of Freshwater Semiaquatic Bugs [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) are mostly wing-polymorphic species with flight dispersal as an important life history trait, but the specific flight ability and dispersal pattern remain unexplored in most species.

Distinct kinematics and micromorphology for symmetrical rowing and sliding on water in ripple bugs and water striders [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSemiaquatic bugs evolved two different propulsion mechanisms for their symmetrical rowing: a drag-based propulsion in Veliidae and a surface-tension-based propulsion in Gerridae.
