The validity of Dyar's rule for the growth of water bugs (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha, Gerromorpha)
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Marie
The main objective of this bachelor thesis to verify the validity of Dyar's rule for the growth of water bugs. The rule was verified on the selected morphometric metadata from scientific literature. At first, the thesis provides a survey of the literature dealing with the growth of water bugs. Afterwards, it presents graphs and charts characterizing morphometric differences between development stages of selected water bugs. The statistical interpretation of the graphs reveals that we can reject Dyar's rule on the basis of using metadata only in a limited set of cases, i.e. Dyar's rule cannot be rejected completely. At the same time, it follows that the validity of Dyar's rule cannot be completely confirmed either.
