This book presents a broad view of the ecology and behavior of
aquatic insects, raising awareness of this conspicuous and yet
little known fauna that inhabits inland waterbodies such as rivers,
lakes and streams, and is particularly abundant and diverse in
tropical ecosystems. The chapters address topics such as
distribution, dispersal, territoriality, mating behavior, parental
care and the role of sensory systems in the response to external
and internal cues. In the context of ecology, it discusses aquatic
insects as bio indicators that may be used to assess environmental
disturbances, either in protected or urban areas, and provides
insights into how genetic connectivity can support the development
of novel conservation strategies. It also explores how aquatic
insects can inspire solutions for various problems faced by modern
society, presenting examples in the fields of material science,
optics, sensorics and robotics.
