Morphological study of the antennal sensilla in Gerromorpha (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) [PDF]
Zoomorphology, 2017 AbstractThe external morphology and distribution of the antennal sensilla of 21 species from five families of semiaquatic bugs (Gerromorpha) were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Nine main types were distinguished based on their morphological structure: sensilla trichoidea, sensilla chaetica, sensilla leaflike, sensilla campaniformia ...

Differences between phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae based on the mitochondrial genome. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe phytophagous and predatory species in Pentatomidae were compared and analyzed. And we constructed the phylogenetic trees and the time tree. Our research results provide data supporting for the evolutionary patterns and classification of Pentatomidae.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Asclepios apicalis (Gerromorpha: Gerridae). [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2021 In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Asclepios apicalis was sequenced and assembled, which was first reported in Asclepios. The mitogenome of Asclepios apicalis was 15,391 bp in length, and it contained 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and a control region (D-loop), the overall

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Length–biomass equations to allow rapid assessment of semi‐aquatic bug biomass in tropical streams
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 2, Page 102-115, February 2023., 2023 Length–biomass equations provide a cost‐effective way of deriving biomass, but relationships vary between taxa and habitats. Semi‐aquatic bugs are bioindicators and prey items for predators. We identify the best‐fit equations to predict the biomass of semi‐aquatic bugs collected in Sabah, Malaysia.

Patch size drives colonization by aquatic insects, with minor priority effects of a cohabitant
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 23, Page 16817-16834, December 2021., 2021 Patch size had strong effects on colonizing insect communities with some species preferring large patches and other species preferring small patches. Treefrog larvae have little direct effect on insect colonization, but when they had high densities in large patches, some of the insect colonization spilled over into adjacent small patches.

Skin hydrophobicity as an adaptation for self‐cleaning in geckos
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 11, Page 4640-4651, June 2020., 2020 Hydrophobicity is common in plants and animals, but ecological factors promoting its evolution are still unclear. Using advancing contact‐angle measurements, we test that high hydrophobicity has coevolved with terrestrial microhabitat use in geckos, as ground is dirty and filled with pathogens. Our results suggest that hydrophobicity has coevolved with

Water bugs (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha, Nepomorpha) of the Caucasus ecoregion
The European Zoological Journal, 2023 AbstractThe Caucasian fauna of water bugs (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha, Nepomorpha) is reviewed based on data originating from literature survey, museum and private collections, and extensive field sampling. The diversity of Caucasus ecoregion is quite significant with 77 species and subspecies framed within 25 genera (17 in Nepomorpha, 8 in Gerromorpha),
