Does glacial retreat impact benthic chironomid communities? A case study from Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine which environmental variables are responsible for modern benthic chironomid distributions in a glacial setting. The chironomid communities from nine alpine lakes were assessed, and forty-three individual taxa were extracted and identified. Surface water temperature and nitrate were strongly and negatively correlated (−0.82, p = 0.007), suggesting that glacial meltwater (the driver that explains both surface water temperature (SWT) (°C) and nitrate (NO3 + NO2-N)) is the en… Show more
