Colonisation of temporary macrophyte substratum by midges \(Chironomidae: Diptera\)
This study investigates a phytophylous community of Chironomidae larvae on the submerged plant species Myriophyllum spicatum L. in a eutrophic lake (Lake Sakadaš, Danube floodplain area in Croatia) during summer 2004. This macrophyte species appeared for the first time in the lake in 2004, lasted approximately three months and was considered as a temporary habitat. The chironomid community was ...
متن کاملPolytene chromosomes of salivary glands of chironomids (Diptera: Chironomidae) from the Wrangel Island (Russia)
Polytene chromosomes of chironomid larvae (Diptera: Chironomidae), collected on the Wrangel Island are described. Larvae have 2n=8: AB, CD, EF, G (Ch. thummi Keyl, 1962 complex). By karyotype larvae are identical to Chironomus sp. Le1, described from the Sagystyr Island of the Ust-Lena Reserve (Yakutia) (Kiknadze et al., 1996). The insignificant differences include the number of nucleoli and pu...
متن کاملA review of Neotropical species in Thienemanniella Kieffer (Diptera, Chironomidae).
Three species previously described from the neotropical region are revised and four new species are described: Thienemanniella biobio sp. n. and T. manihuales sp. n. as males and pupae from Chile, T. sancticaroli sp. n. and T ubatuba sp. n. as males, females and immature stages from Brazil. The new Thienemanniella spreta species group is delimited consisting of T. spreta (Roback) sensu Sublette...
متن کاملChironomidae larvae (Diptera) of Neotropical floodplain: overlap niche in different habitats.
The niche overlap between trophic groups of Chironomidae larvae in different habitats was observed between trophic groups and between different environments in Neotropical floodplain. For the evaluation we used the index of niche overlap (CXY) and analysis of trophic networks, both from the types and amount of food items identified in the larval alimentary canal. In all environments, the larvae...
متن کاملChironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) of different habitats and microhabitats of the Vacacaí-Mirim River microbasin, Southern Brazil.
The Chironomidae family is one of the main groups of aquatic insects present in streams. This work aimed to investigate the influences of anthropogenic pressures and substrate types on chironomid community composition and structure. Chironomid larvae were collected during the summer of 2007 at four sites along the Vacacaí-Mirim River microbasin, chosen based on the different available benthic s...
