First record of larvae of Chironomidae (Insecta, Diptera) as prey of Temnocephala sp. (Platyhelminthes, Temnocephalidae), an ectosymbiont on larvae of Corydalidae (Megaloptera)
First record of larvae of Chironomidae (Insecta, Diptera) as prey of Temnocephala sp. (Platyhelminthes, Temnocephalidae), an ectosymbiont on larvae of Corydalidae (Megaloptera). This study constitutes the first record of Temnocephala Blanchard, an ectosymbiont on Corydalidae, as a possible predator of chironomid larvae. Twenty-eight Corydalidae larvae (Corydalus and Protochauliodes) were examin...
متن کاملThe first record of amphibians as paratenic hosts of Serpinema larvae (Nematoda; Camallanidae).
Until now the third-stage larvae of Serpinema trispinosum (Leidy, 1852) was only found infecting aquatic snail and planktonophagous fish as paratenic hosts (Bartlett and Anderson, 1985; Moravec et al., 1998). The life cycle of this nematode is unknown. Apparently, the freshwater turtles may become infected by ingestion of zooplankton intermediate hosts (e.g., copepods) or by feeding on parateni...
متن کاملEvaluation of water quality of an urban stream in southeastern Brazil using Chironomidae larvae (Insecta: Diptera).
In order to estimate the water quality of São Pedro stream, through distribution and composition of Chironomidae larvae present in the sediment four sampling sites were selected. In each sampling site, three sediment samples were collected within a period of twelve months using the Petersen (0.0189 m²) and the van Veen (0.0518 m²) dredges. Samples were washed through a sieve with a 0.21 mm mesh...
متن کاملDiversity of larvae of littoral Chironomidae (Diptera: Insecta) and their role as bioindicators in urban reservoirs of different trophic levels.
The Chironomidae (Diptera: Insecta) have a high species richness, with species adapted to live under widely different environmental conditions. The study of the taxonomic composition of chironomid larvae and the percentage of occurrence of deformities in mouthparts, mainly in the mentum, are used in biomonitoring programmes in order to obtain information on the levels of organic and chemical po...
متن کاملPaleotemperature reconstruction in tropical Africa using fossil Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera)
Fossil assemblages of chironomid larvae (non-biting midges) preserved in lake sediments are well-established paleothermometers in north-temperate and boreal regions, but their potential for temperature reconstruction in tropical regions has never before been assessed. In this study, we surveyed subfossil chironomid assemblages in the surface sediments of 65 lakes and permanent pools in southwes...
