BIOMETRY AND LIFE CYCLE OF Chironomus calligraphus Goeldi 1905 (DIPTERA, CHIRONOMIDAE) IN LABORATORY CONDITIONS

Chironomid larvae are important components of aquatic bio-ta, due to their abundance and participation in food webs, and because they are considered environm...

Trophic level, food chain length and omnivory in the Paraná River: a food web model approach in a floodplain river system

To determine the mean trophic level and food chain length and to quantify omnivory in a floodplain lake of the Middle Paraná River, we constructed a food web model based on available data. Because…

Response of benthic macroinvertebrates to gradients in hydrological connectivity: a comparison of temperate, subtropical, Mediterranean, and semiarid river floodplains

1. Despite a general recognition that benthic macroinvertebrates respond to changes in hydrological connectivity within floodplain ecosystems, no consensus about patterns in community structure and…

Diet and functional feeding groups of Chironomidae (Diptera) in the Middle Paraná River floodplain (Argentina)

The gut contents of nine genera of benthic Chironominae and Tanypodinae from the Middle Parana River floodplain habitats were analyzed to determine their feeding patterns and functional feeding groups.

Life cycle of Goeldichironomus holoprasinus goeldi (Diptera: Chironomidae) in laboratory.

G. holoprasinus has a short life cycle at registered temperatures, and the cephalic capsule growth among instars was 1.64 in average, whereas the total size growth was continuous, which determined that average G of 18 days is recorded.

Biometry of neotropical invertebrates inhabiting floodplain rivers: unraveling bionomy

The equations and ratios provided will facilitate future research on life history, productivity and energy transference in the food webs of invertebrates inhabiting floodplain wetlands and can be used as tools for planning management strategies and in restoration projects of aquatic environments.
