The genome of the water strider Gerris buenoi reveals expansions of gene repertoires associated with adaptations to life on the water

Abstract 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 from ecology and evolution to developmental genetics and hydrodynamics of fluid l...
