Spatial uniformity in depth optima of midges: evidence from sedimentary archives of shallow Alpine and boreal lakes

In this study, water depth optima, i.e. habitat preferences within a depth gradient, were estimated for mutual midge (Diptera: Nematocera; Ceratopogonidae, Chironomidae) taxa in surface sediment intralake data sets from eastern Finland and Austrian Alps and in a regional data set across Finland. The...
