Chironomidae Morphological Types and Functional Feeding Groups as a Habitat Complexity Vestige

Chironomidae Morphological Types and Functional Feeding Groups as a Habitat Complexity Vestige

Chironomid (Diptera: Chironomidae) larvae play an important role in a wide range of aquatic ecosystems. The study focuses on Chironomidae trophic guilds and morphological types as indicator traits in reconstructions of habitat changes in shallow water bodies. Mentum and ventromental plates are impor...
