Why do Californian striders fly?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2009

Fairbairn D J, King E

Abstract excerpt

Discerning the adaptive significance of migratory strategies poses significant challenges, not the least of which is measuring migratory capability in natural populations. We take advantage of a visible migratory dimorphism to study variation in migratory capability in the stream-dwelling water strider, Aquarius remigis. Theory predicts loss of migratory capability in this species because streams have been viewed...
