Calibration data sets give a unique opportunity to establish patterns of biological existence
and their statistical associations with environmental variables. By use of calibration data …

Velle et al.(2010) discussed discrepancies between Scandinavian Holocene chironomid-
inferred temperature estimates, which they attribute to the response of chironomids to …

Chironomids (non-biting midges) have been used in palaeoenvironmental studies in
Eurasia since the 1920s. Initially changes in chironomid assemblages were largely …

Chironomid assemblages from the uppermost sediments of 435 lakes spanning northern
North America were compared to environmental parameters using direct gradient analysis …

Fossil assemblages of chironomid larvae (non-biting midges) preserved in lake sediments
are well-established paleothermometers in north-temperate and boreal regions, but their …

Chironomid-inferred temperature reconstruction has been shown to be accurate but the
method is tenuous and time consuming. With the increased importance of high-resolution …

Non-biting midges (Insecta: Diptera: Chironomidae) are now widely recognised as powerful
biological proxies for inferring past climatic change. In this paper the response of chironomid …

The sedimentary record from lakes can be used as an archive of past environmental
changes and for events related to anthropogenic activities in the catchment area. In this …

Since multi-site reconstructions are less affected by site-specific climatic effects and
artefacts, regional palaeotemperature reconstructions based on a number of sites can …

The recently developed Bayesian multinomial calibration model, Bummer, was applied to
the fossil chironomid assemblages of a lake situated at the present tree-line in northern …
