Where Do You Fly From? Assessing Aerial Dispersal in Temporary Rivers Using Stable Isotopes

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Dispersal is a crucial ecological process that facilitates gene flow and species exchange within ecosystems. In temporary rivers (TRs), dispersal is a key driver of community assembly because it determines the ability of the organisms to adapt to seasonal drying and maintain stable populations.

Sex on the Beach: Sexual Size Dimorphism Among Aquatic Bugs (Nepomorpha) Inhabiting Different Habitats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We examined the degree of sexual size dimorphism (SSD), based on body length, in approximately 45% of known water bug (Nepomorpha) species. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, we found that females are not significantly longer than males in most species. Our research revealed that habitat plays a significant role in SSD.

The effects of land‐use change on semi‐aquatic bugs (Gerromorpha, Hemiptera) in rainforest streams in Sabah, Malaysia

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 556-572, April 2024.
Abstract Land‐use change and agricultural expansion have caused marked biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia, but impacts on freshwater communities have been very little studied. Semi‐aquatic bugs are abundant in streams, provide prey for many other animals, and are sensitive to environmental change, making them a relevant group for studying land‐use ...
