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.

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.

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&

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

Voltinism and Laboratory Rearing of \u3ci\u3eMicrovelia Hinei\u3c/i\u3e (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Voltinism in Microvelia hinei was studied in southern Illinois during 1989 and 1990. This species apparently overwintered as adults, which became active in late April; adults were last collected in late September. First instars were found from mid-May to
