Abstract: Macrozoobenthos and submerged macrophytes interact closely. However, studies in China have focused on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, where shallow lakes are concentrated, rather than on temperate lakes. To clarify the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/fwb.70021
Abstract: Dikerogammarus villosus (Sowinsky, 1894) is a Ponto–Caspian amphipod expanding in European freshwaters and posing a threat to biological diversity through several biological and behavioural traits, including high carnivory and voracity. The species spreads in Europe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0301913
Abstract: Small lentic water bodies are important emitters of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), but the processes regulating their dynamics and susceptibility to human-induced stressors are not fully understood. Bioturbation by chironomid larvae has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19021005
Abstract: We conducted an experiment to confirm the passability of chironomid larvae (Glyptotendipes tokunagai) in granular activated carbon (GAC) used in water treatment plants. After injecting larvae at different growth stages (first through fourth instars) into… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191912035
Abstract: Chironomid larvae are among the dominant benthic macroinvertebrates in all types of water systems in South Korea. They may pass through pipes in rivers (raw water) and occur in drinking water, thus creating public health… read more here.
