Numerous procedures for biological assessment employ different measures of benthos
diversity as a main or additional metric. This paper argues that biological diversity of …

Understanding the effects of climate change on ecosystem structure and stability is
challenging, especially in high latitude regions that are predicted to experience the largest …

We employed the self-organizing map (SOM) method to investigate the spatio-temporal
pattern of the Chironomidae community in the Southern Morava River basin (Serbia) and to …

The present study contains the results of an investigation of the relationships between the
environmental variables and the taxonomic diversity of common and important groups of …

The widely distributed family of the Chironomidae represents the most diverse and abundant
group of macroinvertebrate fauna and potentially provides information on stream water …

The study concerns the relationships between taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic
diversity of benthic invertebrates inhabiting watercourses and abiotic parameters associated …

The study was performed in five fourth-order tributaries of the Bystrzyca Lubelska River
(Eastern Poland, Lublin Upland), differing in the degree of river-bed transformation and level …

The spatial and temporal structure of non-biting midge (Diptera: Chironomidae) larvae
assemblages and some environmental factors that affect their distribution were analyzed in …

Chironomids are the most common and abundant benthic invertebrate family in freshwater
environments worldwide, but most studies on chironomid assemblages focus on …

Different components of biological diversity of larval Chironomidae, typically the most
abundant and the most diverse of all lotic zoo-benthos, were assessed to determine their …
