The scientific name for the water strider is Gerris remigis. Habitat The water strider’s habitat is on the surface of water every day. Water striders like to be on the surface of ponds, lakes, streams, or any slow moving water. They like the water to have plants and rocks, so they can later lay their eggs on them.

Since Freshwater biomes are found all over the world, the types of plants and animals that live in these waters can be different. Some examples of plants that may inhabit a Freshwater biome are grass, spike rush, water lilies, cattail, and sometimes trees. Most plants living in these waters are not recognized by humans. Animals that live in these biomes are frogs, turtles, snakes, fish, and sometimes alligators. Insects like mosquitos also inhabit these biomes greatly. Animals such as raccoons and earthworms live on the land surrounding the biome, but depend on the biome to survive. Some animals, such as beavers, live in both the water and the land surrounding it. Algae also plays a big role in a Freshwater biome ecosystem.

These creatures specifically prefer have environments such as small springs to splash around and wade in (Martensen, par. 6); however, they tend to live in dry glade areas. This ecosystem consists of a wide variety of abiotic and biotic features. The abiotic features of glades generally consist of little soil content, high amounts of bedrock, and annual average rainfall amounts around 42 inches (“Outline: Missouri Ecosystems, par. 2). In terms of biotic features, the glades holds a variety of reptiles, insects, forbs, and grasses (“Outline: Missouri Ecosystems, par. 2-3). In terms of their direct effects to their respective ecosystems, there is a large impact on most of the ecosystem’s energy
This lead Bonner and Wilde to speculate the Arkansas river shiner needs one hundred and thirty five miles of free flowing river to complete its life history. Direct and indirect evidence suggests the presence of a directed, upstream movement by the Arkansas river shiner over the course of their adult life span, which is necessary to maintain upstream source populations and complete Arkansas river shiners’ life cycle. The Arkansas river shiner is believed to be a generalized forager, with its diet consisting of grass seeds, decaying organic matter, sand, sediment,and aquatic and terrestrial

Aquatic korta mainly live in large bodies of water. They can be found in small groups that live in towns partially submerged into the nearest lake or ocean. These korta are most commonly predators such as sharks, barracuda, and swordfish. It is not rare to see a few squid-like korta wandering around. However, due to their frightening appearance, aquatic korta often do not venture into the world of man. However, they are able to breathe both underwater and above water, making such a trek possible nevertheless. These korta often prefer tank classes such as paladins and barbarians, making use of ranged weapons such as tridents and spears and water magic.
