als. You can meet these ocean conquerors both on the shore and hundreds of kilometers from any land. Basically, water strider reproduction is fairly standard. The male fertilizes the female, she retains a supply of sperm inside herself and fertilizes several clutches of eggs with them. They didn’t come up with anything radically new in this regard. However, I will only give you half a point for this answer. After all, reproduction itself is literally half the battle. It is preceded by complex mating games. The fact is that females are much less interested in mating than males - once is enough for them throughout their lives. But male water striders are ready to mate many times and with different partners, because in this case their chance of leaving offspring becomes higher. But what to do if the lady is not interested in you? That's right, blackmail her! The male grabs the lady with his front paws and begins to tap the water in an intricate rhythm. And these blows will sooner or later attract the attention of the fish, which will definitely eat them both, which, of course, does not suit the female. Therefore, she is forced to give what he wants in order to save the lives of both of them and her offspring. As they say: Truth is born in dispute. And in blackmail - water striders. Results! So, it's time to evaluate your knowledge. Write your points in the comments. If you scored 2 points or less, then you definitely need to improve your knowledge in biology. Fortunately, you are already reading the Book of Animals, which means the forecast is favorable for you! If you get a C, don't be upset. Your level of knowledge is more than sufficient for a person who is far from biology, and you have nothing to be ashamed of. But 4 points is already serious. Not every biologist is able to score so many points, especially if he is not a specialist in the field of zoology and ecology. Be proud of yourself, you deserve it! Well, I doubly praise those smart kids who earned an A+. If you are not connected with the natural sciences and still managed to do it, then your lively and sharp mind absorbs knowledge like a sponge. Keep up the good work!
