Dezembro De 2008 FUNCHAL - MADEIRA ISSN 0870 - 3876 BOLETIM DO MUSEU MUNICIPAL DO FUNCHAL (HISTÓRIA NATURAL) Suplemento N.º 13 16th INTERNATIONAL CHIRONOMID SYMPOSIUM SAMANTHA JANE HUGHES, MAHNAZ KADEM & MIGUEL ÂNGELO CARVALHO (Guest Editors) Dezembro de 2008 FUNCHAL - MADEIRA Editado pela Câmara Municipal do Funchal Composição: Museu Municipal do Funchal (História Natural) ,PSUHVVmRHDFDEDPHQWR2/LEHUDO(PSUHVDGH$UWHV*Ui¿FDV Foreword This special supplement of the Boletim do Museu Municipal do Funchal contains extended abstracts, based upon communications given at the 16th International Chironomid Symposium which took place at the Casa da Luz Museum in Funchal, 25th - 28th July 2006, and was hosted and organized by the Centre for Macaronesian Studies (CEM) of the University of Madeira (UMa). The symposium provided an opportunity for chironomid researchers to attend sessions where communications of a remarkable scienti¿c level were given in Palaeolimnology, Biomonitoring, Toxicology & Biomonitoring, Ecology, Taxonomy, Morphology & Systematics, Physiology & Physiological Responses and Biogeography & Biodiversity. CEM included some ³¿UVWV´ in the organization of this international cycle of symposia such as a session on Palaeolimnology, emphasizing the importance of chironimids in assessing both past and present impacts in global issues such as climate change, an open debate on “Divulging Chironomid research: bibliography and data bases´ and a post symposium taxonomic workshop held at CEM’s laboratory facilities where researchers discussed and examined material and shared ideas. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the symposium’s success and to the preparation and publication of these proceedings, in particular the Director of the Museu Municipal do Funchal for agreeing to the publication of the symposium proceedings as a special supplement of the Boletim and colleagues from CEM and the Instituto Superior de Agronomia in Lisbon who translated proceedings abstracts into Portuguese. Many thanks to the organizing committee members for their dedication and willingness to carry out tasks prior to, during and after the symposium. Finally, a very special thank you to all of the sponsors for their extraordinary generosity, in particular the Empresa de Electricidade, various sectors of the Madeiran Regional Government and the Fundação para Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT).

  • Chironominae 8.1
    CHIRONOMINAE 8.1 SUBFAMILY CHIRONOMINAE 8 DIAGNOSIS: Antennae 4-8 segmented, rarely reduced. Labrum with S I simple, palmate or plumose; S II simple, apically fringed or plumose; S III simple; S IV normal or sometimes on pedicel. Labral lamellae usually well developed, but reduced or absent in some taxa. Mentum usually with 8-16 well sclerotized teeth; sometimes central teeth or entire mentum pale or poorly sclerotized; rarely teeth fewer than 8 or modified as seta-like projections. Ventromental plates well developed and usually striate, but striae reduced or vestigial in some taxa; beard absent. Prementum without dense brushes of setae. Body usually with anterior and posterior parapods and procerci well developed; setal fringe not present, but sometimes with bifurcate pectinate setae. Penultimate segment sometimes with 1-2 pairs of ventral tubules; antepenultimate segment sometimes with lateral tubules. Anal tubules usually present, reduced in brackish water and marine taxa. NOTESTES: Usually the most abundant subfamily (in terms of individuals and taxa) found on the Coastal Plain of the Southeast. Found in fresh, brackish and salt water (at least one truly marine genus). Most larvae build silken tubes in or on substrate; some mine in plants, dead wood or sediments; some are free- living; some build transportable cases. Many larvae feed by spinning silk catch-nets, allowing them to fill with detritus, etc., and then ingesting the net; some taxa are grazers; some are predacious. Larvae of several taxa (especially Chironomus) have haemoglobin that gives them a red color and the ability to live in low oxygen conditions. With only one exception (Skutzia), at the generic level the larvae of all described (as adults) southeastern Chironominae are known.

HARRISON May 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Audrey B. Harrison All rights reserved. ABSTRACT The effects of hydrological connectivity between the Mississippi River main channel and adjacent secondary channel and floodplain habitats on macroinvertebrate community structure, water chemistry, and sediment makeup and chemistry are analyzed. In river-floodplain systems, connectivity between the main channel and the surrounding floodplain is critical in maintaining ecosystem processes. Floodplains comprise a variety of aquatic habitat types, including frequently connected secondary channels and oxbows, as well as rarely connected backwater lakes and pools. Herein, the effects of connectivity on riverine and floodplain biota, as well as the impacts of connectivity on the physiochemical makeup of both the water and sediments in secondary channels are examined.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

  • Phenology of Non-Biting Midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Peatland Ponds, Central Poland
    © Entomologica Fennica. 1 June 2018 Phenology of non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) in peatland ponds, Central Poland Mateusz P³óciennik, Martyna Skonieczka, Olga Antczak & Jacek Siciñski P³óciennik, M., Skonieczka, M., Antczak, O. & Siciñski, J. 2018: Phenology of non-biting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) in peatland ponds, Central Poland. Entomol. Fennica 29: 6174. Non-biting midges are one ofthe most diverse and abundant aquatic insects in peatlands. The R¹bieñ mire is a raised bog located on the edge ofthe Lodz Ag - glomeration in Central Poland. After peat extraction, many ponds remained in the R¹bieñ area. During the growing season in 2012, adult chironomids were col- lected by a light trap and a hand net near one ofthe excavation ponds. The pheno - logy of adult flight period was documented from April to November. Thirty-one species were recorded and assigned to one offivephenology groups. Three pa- rameters reflecting duration of daytime and weather conditions, i.e. air tempera- ture, air humidity, were found to covary significantly with the observed flight pe- riods. Taxa emerging in the spring may be classified as cold-adapted and those collected in the summer only as preferring higher air temperature. Emergence in late summer was related to a shorter duration ofdaytime. M. P³óciennik, O. Antczak & J.

Herrmann2, and J.E. Sublette3 ABSTRACT.—Mining in the Upper Arkansas catchment has polluted the river with heavy metals for 140 yr. Pupal and adult chironomid species distribution and sedimentary metal concentrations are provided for 22 stations along 259 km of main river during 1984–85. Complete species identification was achieved only recently. This has produced an unprece- dented record of chironomid species distribution for a comparable length of river in the USA.

  • FEEDING BEHAVIOUR OF'breeding WIGEON Anas Penelope in RELATION to SEASONAL EMERGENCE and SWARMING BEHAVIOUR of CHIRONOMIDS
    409 FEEDING BEHAVIOUR OF'BREEDING WIGEON Anas penelope IN RELATION TO SEASONAL EMERGENCE AND SWARMING BEHAVIOUR OF CHIRONOMIDS ODD W. JACOBSEN ABSTRACT Emergence ofchironomids started in mid-April, and reached a peak at the end of April and in the beginning of May. Most "spring" chiro­ nomids emerged around noon, whereas the majority of chironomids emerg­ ing later in the season, appeared at night. In general, there was a positive correlation between the seasonal emergencl~ of chironomids and gleaning frequency by individual Wigeon. Gleaning was observed exclusively on emergent vegetation in the morning and evening. During midday, gleaning occurred most frequently on water surface probably due to the diel emergence and swarming patterns ofchironomids. Gleaning was most frequently used by females, which is mainly due to their higher energetic requirements during the breeding seasons. I conclude that the increasing abundance of emerging chironomids in the spring is one important factor affecting time of nesting by Wigeon.

Although tant to know how resources are distributed in space recent studies have shown that food quality in the and time and how the birds obtain them during their non-breeding season may influence timing and re­ breeding cycle (Alisauskas & Ankney 1985).
