Records of chironomidae larvae living on other aquatic animals in Brazil

Abstract: In this study, we report forty-nine cases of Chironomidae larvae living on other animals in Brazilian aquatic ecosystems, including a wide range of hosts, such as hydrozoans, snails, insects and fish. We also discuss some empirical difficulties to establish the ecological interactions between chironomids and their hosts. Key words: Chironomidae, aquatic insects, mollusks, fish, ecological interaction, hosts ResumoNeste estudo nós reportamos 49 ocorrências de larvas de Chironomidae vivendo sobre o corpo de outr… Show more

“…No Brasil, existem registros destas larvas vivendo sobre o corpo de poríferos, hidrozoários, moluscos, insetos e peixes (Roque et al 2004). Contudo, associações com outros vertebrados aquáticos, como cágados e jacarés, permanecem ainda desconhecidas.…”

“…Muitas espécies de Chironomidae e seus potenciais hospedeiros podem apresentar baixa tolerância a determinados impactos ambientais, e possivelmente a riqueza de associações pode ser menor em áreas impactadas (Roque et al 2004). No entanto, não é o caso da associação entre as duas espécies aqui relatadas (P. geoffroanus e C. inquinatus), pois ambas aparentemente beneficiam-se com esses ambientes, proliferando-se em grande número, o que possivelmente favorece este tipo de associação.…”
