The Everglades is a large subtropical wetland that has been modified heavily by humans and now undergoing restoration. Aquatic semiaquatic Heteroptera (Hemiptera) in the infraorders Gerromorpha Nepomorpha were collected Florida using standardized 1-m2 throw-traps. Sampling efforts conducted marshes distributed from southern National Park, north throughout Water Conservation Areas to Loxahatchee...

To communicate at long range, animals have to produce intense but intelligible signals. This task might be difficult to achieve due to mechanical constraints, in particular relating to body size. Whilst the acoustic behaviour of large marine and terrestrial animals has been thoroughly studied, very little is known about the sound produced by small arthropods living in freshwater habitats. Here ...

This contribution is the first part of a series designed to summarize present knowledge on fauna true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) Socotra Archipelago. A review aquatic, semiaquatic and shore infraorders Nepomorpha, Gerromorpha, Leptopodomorpha provided. Nine families 19 species are recorded from Island (including two marine off-shore species). The following new records given: Micronecta eupom...

En Sarmiento (provincia de Chubut, Argentina) se estudió la comunidad corixidos. Se categorizaron los diferentes tipos hábitat acuáticos (100 cuerpos agua totales), según aspectos morfométricos y permanencia del agua: en temporarios semipermanentes, canales riego drenaje. cada acuático registraron las siguientes variables: superficie agua, profundidad máxima, porcentaje vegetación, grado insola...

Poisson (1924) states that the eggs of aquatic Hemiptera increase in volume as they develop. Kerenski (1930), Ludwig (1932), Evans (1933), Johnson (1937), Roonwal (1936), and Birch & Andrewartha (1942), all have described in various insects the changes which take place in the developing egg and which are generally associated with the absorption of water. The eggs of Corixidae are aquatic and ar...

The genus Coreomyces (Laboulbeniaceae, Laboulbeniomycetes, Ascomycota) includes minute parasites on water boatmen (Corixidae, Hemiptera, Insecta). This taxonomic study is primarily based freshly sampled corixids infected by from Sweden, although a few samples Denmark and Turkey were also included. All records verified using DNA sequence data the internal transcribed spacer region large subunit ...
