VALLENDUUK & MOLLER - CHIRONOMIDAE LARVAE - PART 1 - IDENTIFICATION KEY TO THE TANYPODINAE

The authors revised existing identification keys and collected additional information on the biology and ecology of the larvae. Where possible, the identification keys use anatomical characters that are easily observed. The clear descriptions of the development stages, sampling methods and abiotic environmental factors help make this book useful for all students of chironomid larvae, professional or otherwise. This book is especially important for its potential use in water quality management.
