Chironomidae traits and life history strategies as indicators of anthropogenic disturbance.

Environmental monitoring and assessment - 1 Jul 2017

Serra Sónia R Q, Graça Manuel A S, Dolédec Sylvain, Feio Maria João

Abstract excerpt

In freshwater ecosystems, Chironomidae are currently considered indicators of poor water quality because the family is often abundant in degraded sites. However, it incorporates taxa with a large ecological and physiological diversity and different sensitivity to impairment. Yet, the usual identification of Chironomidae at coarse taxonomic levels (family or subfamily) masks genus and species sensitivities. In...
