1. Introduction
1) PURPOSE : Relationship with
Aggressive behavior and Size dominance of G.latiabdominis
What’s the dominance? We define “Dominance” as the one who doesn’t step off earlier
2) Materials : Waterstrider- Gerris latiabdominis- Small species among waterstriders- Abundant in rice field and serene riffles in the mountain

3) Methods :
a) Collecting G. latiabdominisb) Distinguish of Sex : use ONLY FEMALE
In order to exclude mating behavior during aggressive interactions
c) Measuring body size & Separating them into 3 groups : Small / Middle/ Large use ONLY SMALL & LARGE sized individualsd) Starving them for 3 days in order to increase the
frequency of their aggressive behaviore) Observing Interactions between 2 individuals

4)Way to distinguish of sex (a) size : Female is usually larger than male
(b) different shape of genitalia Male: Diamond shape/ Female: Triangular shape

SIGNALING Wave signals produced by Bouncing the body Larger (or Heavier) the body, Stronger the signals Many waterstrider species use wave signals for sending information
FIGHTING The strongest interaction Pushing with legs
HIGH-UP Raising the body with raising mid & hind legs

The presence of large one appears to reduce the rate of success in signaling of small G.latiabdominis
Large G.latiabdominis interacting with small
one shows slightly higher rate of success in signaling compared to large one interacting
with large

3. Conclusion
• G.latiabdominis’ aggressive behaviors are composed of fighting, signaling, and high-up.
• Positive relationship > New DISCOVERY!
- Body size and dominance
- Signaling and dominance
- High-up and dominance
