The hydrodynamics of water-walking arthropods (2010, background): “The dynamics of water-walking arthropods is subtler and requires consideration of both the surface chemistry and the texture responsible for the creature’s water repellency (Bush et al. 2008) and the interfacial fluid dynamics generated by its leg stroke (Bush & Hu 2006).”
