Effect of Abiotic Factors upon Morphological Variability of Fleuria lacustris Larvae (Diptera, Chironomidae)

Abstract

The article deals with peculiarities of the influence of abiotic factors of different types water bodies on the morphological variability of Fleuria lacustris Kieffer, 1924, larvae. The effect of the external water exchange intensity and other hydrological and hydrochemical parameters on distribution of larvae and the quantitative characteristics of the species are considered.
