Abstract excerpt

The dipteran Chironomus riparius is found across the entire Palearctic region; its larvae are among the most abundant macroinvertebrates inhabiting inland waterbodies. Chironomid larvae have been extensively used in ecotoxicological and cytogenetic research, but relatively little is known on the population structure of this species. Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that are capable of autonomous...
