Abstract

Abstract To understand the life history strategies of diving beetles, it is important to obtain information regarding their flight capacities. We estimated the flight capacities of three dytiscid species in Japan using a flight mill. The mean flight distances of Hydaticus bowringii Clark, 1864, Hydaticus grammicus (Germar, 1827), and Rhantus suturalis (MacLeay, 1825) were 5.16, 1.97, and 0.58 km, respectively. Some individuals flew extremely long distances: 20.01 km in H. bowringii and 12.58 km in H. grammicus. The two representatives of the genus Hydaticus Leach, 1817 overwinter on land, far from water bodies or in the mud near emergent plants on the shore of water bodies; R. suturalis uses various water bodies throughout the year. The differences in overwintering sites may be reflected in the species’ flight capacities.

三种潜水甲虫（鞘翅目：双翅目）在飞行磨机中的飞行能力估计

摘要为了了解潜水甲虫的生活史策略，获得有关其飞行能力的信息是很重要的。我们使用飞行研磨机估计了日本三种dytiscid物种的飞行能力。bowringii-Clark（1864）、Grammamicus（Germar，1827）和Rhantus suturalis（MacLeay，1825）的平均飞行距离分别为5.16、1.97和0.58 km。有些人飞行的距离非常长：20.01 公里在H.bowringii和12.58 km。水螅属的两个代表，1817年在陆地上越冬，远离水体或在水体岸边挺水植物附近的淤泥中越冬；R.suturalis全年使用各种水体。越冬地点的差异可能反映在物种的飞行能力上。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects. The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites). The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged. Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.
