Popis: Background: Having conquered water surfaces worldwide, the semi-aquatic bugs occupy ponds, streams, lakes,mangroves, and even open oceans. The diversity of this group has inspired a range of scientific studies fromecology and evolution to developmental genetics and hydrodynamics of fluid locomotion. However, the lack of arepresentative water strider genome hinders our ability to more thoroughly investigate the molecular mechanismsunderlying the processes of adaptation and diversification within this group.
