This study analyzes the locomotion of Microvelia insects across different surfaces, finding they maintain consistent leg movements on duckweed and adjust stride length based on surface texture, achieving higher speeds on water.

This study examines how Microvelia insects adapt to tarsal loss by altering their leg dynamics and gait during water walking.

This study investigates interfacial vortex recapture in Microvelia americana, showing how it enhances thrust through vortex re-energization and tripod gait mechanics.
