Millennial-scale climate change history in eastern Siberia and relationships between diatom diversity, paleoclimate, sediment-geochemical lake system trajectories are still poorly understood. This study investigates multi-proxy time series reaching back to the Late Pleistocene derived from radiocarbon dated Lake Bolshoe Toko sediment cores, southeastern Yakutia, Russia. We analyzed diatoms, ele...

The composition and distribution of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in a lagoon fish-pond system in the Bay of Cadiz. Spain, were studied by taking monthly samples at 4 sites during 1991. A total of 29 macroinvertebrate species, representing 16 orders. were identified. Gastropods, amphipods and chironomid larvae dominated the macrofauna in term of numbers of individuals, while in biomas...

This paper presents the results of a preliminary qualitative study on the distribution and diversity of live larval chironomids (Insecta: Order Diptera, non-biting midges) in the Kigoma Bay Region of Lake Tanganyika. In recent years, fossil midges have been used extensively, both as ecological indicators of anthropogenic impacts on lakes, and as proxies in paleoclimate/paleoecological studies (...
