Littoral chironomid communities in an arctic Alaskan lake
The soft‐sediment littoral zone of arctic Toolik Lake (68°N) is composed of patches of macrophytes and bare sediments, which support distinct communities of chironomid larvae. Macrophytes were typically dominated by Stictochironomus rosenschoeldi (Zett.) but also had persistent populations of Hetero...
