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.

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.

Aquatic and semiaquatic Heteropterans associated with dry forest in Patía, southwestern Colombia
Biota Colombiana, 2020 The dry forests of the Patía River, in the Departments of Cauca and Nariño, are some of the most degraded and highly vulnerable ecosystems facing climate change in Colombia,and they are considered high priority areas for conservation.

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
