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.

Gerromorpha (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera) from eastern Maranhão state, northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Check List, 2021 The infraorder Gerromorpha (Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera) comprises semiaquatic bugs, most of which live on the water surface, among floating plants or at the margins of water bodies. We made collections of these insects in the Itapecuru and Parna&
