Comparative Physical Mapping of 18S rDNA in True Bug Species of the Families Gerridae and Mesoveliidae: First Data on the Semiaquatic Infraorder Gerromorpha (Heteroptera, Hemiptera) [PDF]
Biology(1) Background: Over the past few decades, the number and chromosomal arrangement of rDNA loci have been successfully used as cytogenetic markers in comparative studies of many insect taxa, including the hemipteran suborder Heteroptera (or true bugs). Of

New data on the fauna of the water treaders (Hemiptera, Mesoveliidae) of Korea [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe Family Mesoveliidae, also known as the water treaders, are predaceous semi-aquatic bugs with approximately 50 known species worldwide. In the Korean Peninsula, only two species were known prior to this study: Mesovelia vittigera Horváth, 1895 and M ...

New species and new records of semiaquatic bugs (Arthropoda, Insecta, Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) from French Guiana [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) are predatory insects that occupy a wide range of freshwater and marine habitats, with some secondary transitions to terrestrial life.

The semi-aquatic pondweed bugs of a Cretaceous swamp [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Pondweed bugs (Hemiptera: Mesoveliidae), considered a sister group to all other Gerromorpha, are exceedingly rare as fossils. Therefore, each new discovery of a fossil mesoveliid is of high interest, giving new insight into their early evolutionary ...

Patch size drives colonization by aquatic insects, with minor priority effects of a cohabitant. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 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.

Exceptionally preserved insect fossils in the Late Jurassic lagoon of Orbagnoux (Rhône Valley, France) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The Late Kimmeridgian marine limestones of the area around Orbagnoux (Rhône, France) are well known for their fish fauna and terrestrial flora. Here we record the first insects and their activities (mines on leaves and trails in sediments) from these ...
