Female genitalia concealment promotes intimate male courtship in a water strider. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Violent coercive mating initiation is typical for animals with sexual conflict over mating. In these species, the coevolutionary arms-race between female defenses against coercive mating and male counter-adaptations for increased mating success leads to ...

The study of dynamic force acted on water strider leg departing from water surface
AIP Advances, 2018 Water-walking insects such as water striders can skate on the water surface easily with the help of the hierarchical structure on legs. Numerous theoretical and experimental studies show that the hierarchical structure would help water strider in quasi ...
