Ex-situ Evaluation of Chironomid Larvae as a Potential Supplementary Food in Aquaculture
Due to the steady growth of the human population, the demand for fish as dietary protein increases globally. Though sea fishes are the main source of...

Drivers and resilience of methane-derived carbon contribution to chironomid biomass in boreal lakes
General mechanisms underlying the pathways of methane (CH 4 )-derived carbon in aquatic food webs are often associated with eutrophication-driven...

Acidification of freshwater lakes in Scandinavia: impacts and recovery of chironomid communities under accelerating environmental changes
We re-examined the effects of acidification on Scandinavian freshwater lakes using paleolimnological reconstructions focused on subfossil...

Deformation of Mentum Structure in Larvae of Chironomidae (Diptera: Chironomidae) in the Chi River Basin, Thailand
AbstractA study of the frequency of deformations of chironomid larvae and correlation with water quality in the Chi River basin, Maha Sarakam...
-
Resource use differences of two coexisting chironomid species at localized scales
Competing species may show positive correlations in abundance through time and space if they rely on a shared resource. Such positive correlations...

Co-occurrence and potential resource partitioning between oligochaetes and chironomid larvae in a sediment depth gradient
Although detritivorous Tubificinae and chironomid larvae are important groups in functioning of both, fresh and brackish water ecosystem, their...

Larvae and pupae as indicators of anthropic disturbances: use of traits
Urban–industrial contamination in streams affects the functional structure of chironomid assemblages. The aims of this study were to determine...

Temporal dynamics of Chironomid (Diptera) diversity under flood–drought pulses in a shallow tropical floodplain lake
The water-level regime is a major determinant of the community structure in river-floodplain systems. Chironomidae is a highly diverse insect family...

Optimal pit site selection in antlion larvae: the relationship between prey availability and pit maintenance costs
Traps are an efficient method of capturing prey for ambush predators, but trap building and maintenance are costly. We describe suitable hunting...

Content of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium in the Body of Larvae of Sibling Species Chironomus balatonicus and Chironomus plumosus Depending on the Salinity of the Medium
AbstractThe tolerance range of water salinity reaches 0.09–9.3 and 0.008–6.0 g/L for the larvae of Chironomus balatonicus Devai, Wülker et Scholl,...
