    Taxonomic and functional diversity differentiation of chironomid communities in northern Mongolian Plateau under complex environmental impacts

    We analyzed the taxonomic and functional diversities of chironomid communities on the northern Mongolian Plateau to understand the responses to multiple environmental pressures. The 27 lakes studied were class...

    A 2500-year climate and environmental record inferred from subfossil chironomids from Lugu Lake, southwestern China

    We present a sediment record from Lugu Lake, a large and deep alpine lake in southwestern China, spanning the last c.2500 cal yr BP. This multi-proxy study focussed on subfossil chironomids but also included a...

    Combined effects of nutrients and trace metals on chironomid composition and morphology in a heavily polluted lake in central China since the early 20th century

    Eutrophication and trace metal pollution seriously threaten the health of lake ecosystems; however, little is known about the response of zoobenthos to their combined impacts. In order to detect their effects ...

    A primary study on relationships between subfossil chironomids and the distribution of aquatic macrophytes in three lowland floodplain lakes, China

    Aquatic macrophytes act as an important substrate for zoobenthos-supporting midge communities (chironomids) that can be used for reconstructing past environmental change. This study selected three macrophyte-d...

    The spatio-temporal variations of sedimentary phosphorus in Taihu Lake and the implications for internal loading change and recent eutrophication

    Internal phosphorus loading is particularly concerned for the shallow lakes due to the frequent sediment disturbance, which may play a vital role in changing nutrient level in overlying water. A historical per...

    Holocene environmental change at Lake Shudu, Yunnan Province, southwestern China

    A Holocene palaeorecord from Lake Shudu, Yunnan Province, southwestern China is dominated by (1) a pronounced basin-wide sedimentary hiatus after ca. 7.2 kcal yr BP, spanning some 4,000 years and (2) significa...

    Spatial distribution of subfossil Chironomidae in surface sediments of a large, shallow and hypertrophic lake (Taihu, SE China)

    Spatial heterogeneity of benthic communities has clear implications for estimating lake production, biodiversity as well as identifying representative sites for palaeolimnological studies. This study investiga...
