More than any other group of macro-organisms, true flies (Diptera) dominate the freshwater
environment. Nearly one-third of all flies—roughly 46,000 species—have some …

Mitogenomes have been widely used for phylogenetic reconstruction of various Dipteran
groups, but specifically for chironomid, they have not been carried out to resolve the …

The use of bioindicators requires environmental information and a detailed knowledge of the
biota to which it is assign a sensitivity value. The objective of this work was assessing the …

Maritime chironomid midges (Diptera) are diverse, yet these 'pearls of the ocean'are little
known. Emphasizing Pacific Ocean taxa, we used six genetic markers (18S, 28S, CAD1 …
