Mandibular shape as a proxy for the identification of functional feeding traits of midge larvae (Diptera: Chironomidae)
The identification of functional feeding traits in aquatic macroinvertebrates often requires a morphology-based identification of species, which is important for trait-based methods of biological assessment. The extent of functional homogenization is compared along scales of impairment, where trait-...
