Range Expansion of the Giant Water Bug <i>Lethocerus patruelis</i> (Stål, 1854) in Europe. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT Climate change is altering freshwater ecosystems, causing extinctions, range expansions, and facilitating biological invasions. Colonization by novel species can drastically affect local biodiversity, particularly in aquatic habitats. Lethocerus patruelis

Meiotic Chromosome Analysis of the Giant Water Bug,Lethocerus indicus [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2013 The giant water bug, Lethocerus indicus (Lepeletier and Serville) (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae), a native species of Southeast Asia, is one of the largest insects belonging to suborder Heteroptera. In this study, the meiotic chromosome of L. indicus was studied in insect samples collected from Thailand, Myanmar, Loas, and Cambodia.

Reproductive Strategies in Paternal Care and Remarkably Low Paternity Level in a Giant Water Bug. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACTReproductive strategies are crucial for organisms because they directly affect the organisms' fitness. “Parental care” is one of the strategies adopted by organisms to improve their fitness. However, even in the case of parental care, females often bear a large burden in raising offspring, and it is extremely rare for males to care for ...

A new approach to chromosomal evolution in the giant water bug (Heteroptera: Belostomatidae) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2016 The genus Belostoma, known colloquially as “giant water bugs,” presents striking cytogenetic diversity and extensive chromosome variability. Notwithstanding, its karyotype evolution is not well understood. We analyzed 8 species of Belostoma (77 samples). The meiotic analysis revealed 2n = 14 + XY for Belostoma horvathi and Belostoma candidulum; 2n = 22
