What traits underpin the successful establishment and spread of the invasive water bug Trichocorixa verticalis verticalis? [PDF]
The introduction of exotic species has a major impact on a wide range of ecosystems, especially in aquatic ecosystems. Trichocorixa v. verticalis (Fieber, 1851), an euryhaline aquatic hemipteran native North America, has occurred as an exotic species in ...

Laboulbeniales on Semiaquatic Heteroptera. A New Species of Triceromyces (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales) on Microvelia (Heteroptera, Veliidae) from Spain [PDF]
A new species of fungal genus Triceromyces (Laboulbeniales) is described: Triceromyces benjaminii. The description is based on several thalli found on the insect host Microvelia pygmaea (Heteroptera, Veliidae), collected in two localities from SE Spain ...

Using genome‐skimming, we provide a robust and comprehensive phylogeny of the Gerridae. Our data support the monophyly of all subfamilies except paraphyletic Gerrinae. Non‐monophyly was found for Gerrini, Metrobatini and Trepobatini. Additionally, we reaffirm the non‐monophyly of the genera Aquarius and Tenagogonus, both part of the Gerrinae.

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

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.
