Diversity of chironomid larvae in a marginal fluvial wetland of the Middle Paraná River floodplain, Argentina
(EDP Sciences, 2006-12)
The diversity of chironomid larvae in relation to flooding and drought phases in a marginal fluvial wetland of the Middle Paraná River floodplain was analyzed. Four sampling stations in the right bank of the Tiradero Viejo ...
Reconstructing recent environmental changes using non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) in two high mountain lakes from northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Springer, 2018-02)
Remote lakes of northern Patagonia are ideal sites for examining climate- and non-climate-driven changes in aquatic ecosystems because there is little evidence of human influence and there is no detailed information on ...
Response of Chironomidae to environmental disturbances in a high mountain lake in Patagonia during the last millennium
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-09)
Through the last millennium, Patagonia has been affected by changing climate conditions and successive volcanic eruptions. Lake Tonček is a high-altitude lake in the Southern Volcanic Zone in the northern Patagonian Andes. ...
Spatiotemporal structuring factors in the Chironomidae larvae (Insecta: Diptera) assemblages of an ultraoligotrophic lake from northern Patagonia Andean range: implications for paleolimnological interpretations
(Springer, 2020-01)
Chironomid larvae assemblages and their seasonal variations were analyzed in several substrate types from Lake Moreno Oeste (Northern Patagonia) in order to understand the spatiotemporal patterns controlling its community. ...
Major lake level fluctuations and climate changes for the past 16,000 years as reflected by diatoms and chironomids preserved in the sediment of Laguna Potrok Aike, southern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2013-07)
Laguna Potrok Aike is a maar lake located in southernmost Argentina and is one of the few permanent lakes preserving a continuous climatic record from the semiarid Patagonian steppe. Furthermore, its location close to ...
Persistence of chironomids in metal polluted andean high altitude streams: Does melanin play a role?
(American Chemical Society, 2013)
In high altitude Andean streams an intense solar radiation and coinciding metal pollution allow the persistence of only a few specialized taxa, including chironomids. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine ...
Bioindicators of climate and trophic state in lowland and highland aquatic ecosystems of the Northern Neotropics
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2013-06)
Chironomids, diatoms and microcrustaceans that inhabit aquatic ecosystems of the Northern Neotropics are abundant and diverse. Some species are highly sensitive to changes in water chemical composition and trophic state. ...
New insights on bioindicator value of Chironomids by using occupancy modelling
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
The use of bioindicators requires environmental information and a detailed knowledge of the biota to which it is assign a sensitivity value. The objective of this work was assessing the sensitivity of chironomids to several ...
