Chironomids and regional water types

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

The distribution pattern of 115 chironomid taxa at 664 sites, distributed over all kinds of water, was analyzed and related to 42 water types, based on the complete macrofauna composition. The distinction of chironomid groups was not useful to recognize water types. The use of individual chironomid taxa was more sensitive, though also too limited to recognize water types clearly. Chironomids are distributed along a continuum which is directed by master factors and detailed by habitat factors.
