PADILLA-GIL, Dora Nancy. Aquatic and semiaquatic Heteropterans associated with dry forest in Patía, southwestern Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.2, pp.15-20. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2020.v21n02a01.

The dry forests of the Patía River, in the Departments of Cauca and Nariño, are some of the most degraded and highly vulnerable ecosystems facing climate change in Colombia,and they are considered high priority areas for conservation. We identified aquatic and semiaquatic heteropterans (Nepomorpha and Gerromorpha) that inhabit the aquatic ecosystems in these dry forests, based on literature and on the PSO-CZ Entomological Collection. There were 27 species: Gerromorpha, 21 species and Nepomorpha, 6 species.
