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.
