Anticipating where are unknown aquatic insects in Europe to improve biodiversity conservation
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 8, Page 1021-1034, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Understanding biodiversity patterns is crucial for prioritizing future conservation efforts and reducing the current rates of biodiversity loss. However, a large proportion of species remain undescribed (i.e. unknown biodiversity), hindering our ability to conduct this task.

European Journal of Entomology, 2010 Population density during nymphal development affects body size, developmental rate and wing polymorphism in semiaquatic bugs. Nymphs from crowded habitats grow faster and thus gain an advantage in the later stadia.

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.

Length–biomass equations to allow rapid assessment of semi‐aquatic bug biomass in tropical streams
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 2, Page 102-115, February 2023., 2023 Length–biomass equations provide a cost‐effective way of deriving biomass, but relationships vary between taxa and habitats. Semi‐aquatic bugs are bioindicators and prey items for predators. We identify the best‐fit equations to predict the biomass of semi‐aquatic bugs collected in Sabah, Malaysia.

Spatial Variations in Aquatic Insect Community Structure in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya
International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Background. Aquatic insect community structure is dynamic due to threats by anthropogenic activities coupled with changing climatic conditions. The insect’s survival is dependent on the substrate, water quality, and environmental effects. The changes in water quality influence their distribution and abundance and are reflected in spatial and temporal ...

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
