Hemoglobin concentrations ofChironomus cf.plumosus larvae were measured in two different habitats of the same pond. Larger larvae have higher hemoglobin concentrations than small larvae. There is strong indication that the animals of poorly oxygenated deep water, have higher hemoglobin concentrations than the animals from the well-oxygenated littoral zone.

On the relationship between vertical microdistribution and adaptations to oxygen stress in littoral Chironomidae (Diptera)
TLDR
High hemoglobin concentration and weight both seemed to contribute to an ability to cope with low oxygen concentrations, and determined the vertical distribution of chironomids in the sediment. Expand
Culture of Chironomid larvae using two different feeds
TLDR
It is demonstrated that yeast is more suitable for chironomid culture than scenedesmus and ANOVA reveals significant difference in the effect of both feeds on the growth rate of the chironmid larvae (P<0.05). Expand
Metabolism and antioxidant defense in the larval chironomid Tanytarsus minutipalpus: adjustments to diel variations in the extreme conditions of Lake Magadi
TLDR
The observed increases in temperature and dissolved O2 content in Lake Magadi were associated with changes in the antioxidant system of T. minutipalpus larvae, and adjustments performed by the chironomid larvae were efficient in maintaining body homeostasis, as well as protecting biomolecules against oxidative damage, so that oxidative stress did not occur.

Hypoxia and anoxia effects on alcohol dehydrogenase activity and hemoglobin content in Chironomus riparius Meigen, 1804
TLDR
Overall, this study showed a shift from aerobic to anaerobic activity in C. riparius larvae exposed to poorly oxygenated water with an associated alteration of ADH activity and the Hb amount, which might be valid candidate biomarkers for the environmental monitoring of running waters. Expand
Dissolved Organic Carbon Effects on Insect Emergence in Long Lake BIOS 35502-01 : Practicum in Field Biology
Increased concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) have considerable impacts on aquatic emergent insects. Previous research has shown that higher concentrations of DOC can significantly… Expand
Some Aspects of the Biology of two Copepods: Apocyclops dengizicus and Mesocyclops isabellae from a Pool in Garmat - Ali, Basrah, Iraq
TLDR
It is suggested that predation and cannibalism may be the causes of diapause in the two species of copepods. Expand
The importance of sedimenting organic matter, relative to oxygen and temperature, in structuring lake profundal macroinvertebrate assemblages
We quantified the role of a main food resource, sedimenting organic matter (SOM), relative to oxygen (DO) and temperature (TEMP) in structuring profundal macroinvertebrate assemblages in boreal… Expand
AN EVALUATION OF THE RELATIVE QUALITY OF DIKE POOLS FOR BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATES IN THE LOWER MISSOURI RIVER, USA†
A habitat-based aquatic macroinvertebrate study was initiated in the Lower Missouri River to evaluate relative quality and biological condition of dike pool habitats. Water-quality and… Expand
Assessment of Missouri River floodplain invertebrates during historic inundation: implications for river restoration
Floodplain connectivity is important to aquatic organisms in large rivers. Anthropogenic alterations regulating the Missouri River have limited connectivity and negatively affected native fauna.… Expand
Waste water discharge from a large Ni-Zn open cast mine degrades benthic integrity of Lake Nuasjärvi (Finland).
TLDR
This study clearly demonstrates that whereas the upper water layers appear to have generally maintained their previous state, the deep-water layers close to the pipe outlet have lost their ecological integrity and the current hypolimnetic anoxia close toThe pipe indicates enhanced lake stratification caused by the salinated mine waters.

On the structure and function of the ventral tubuli of some Chironomus larvae (Diptera, Nematocera)
TLDR
The ultrastructure of the walls of the tubuli of larvae of two Chironomus species living in lakes and four species from small ponds were studied, suggesting a reinforcement of the concept of a respiratory function and a hypothesis is discussed which might explain the differences found between the Tubuli of lake- and pond-dwelling species.

TLDR
This study confirms and extends observations that haemoglobin is present in many species of Chironomidae, establishes that it is retained from the larval to the adult stage and shows that ha Hemoglobin persists both in live and in dead dry flies. Expand
Hæmoglobin Content of the Larvæ of Tendipes f.l. plumosus L. from Various Levels of Bed Sediment
TLDR
The results obtained cannot be considered to be particularly reliable since at various seasons the larvæ are at various stages of development, and this may have some effect on the hæmoglobin content. Expand
Standardization of hemoglobinometry. II. The hemiglobincyanide method.
TLDR
An easy and reliable (spectro-)photometric procedure is described for the determination of hemoglobin as hemiglobincyanide by substituting (140 mg/l) KH2PO4 for the NaHCO3 in the diluent conventionally used in the HiCN method. Expand
