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 locomotion. However, the lack of a
representative water strider genome hinders our ability to more thoroughly investigate the molecular mechanisms
underlying the processes of adaptation and diversification within this group.
