Propsilocerus akamusi (Diptera: Chironomidae) is a dominant macroinvertebrate species in many eutrophic lakes in subtropical and temperate zones. P. akamusi larvae can migrate deep into the sediment (>30 cm) during summer where is no oxygen. However, to our knowledge, the specific adaptive tactics of its tube-dwelling life (>30 cm) and underlying mechanisms why this species is favored by nutrient-rich lakes remain limited. With the understanding above-mentioned issues, we can provide important information for the development of sensitive biomonitoring. We examined monthly morphological dynamics and physiological adaptations of P. akamusi to anoxic conditions, and environmental relationships of the species abundance in a subtropical eutrophic lake. Results of our experiments indicated that this species presented extremely low fuel consumption at a state of estivation when the larvae dwelt in deep sediment, and conducted anaerobic respiration, with ethanol as a major metabolite, to withstand long term anoxic conditions. Additionally, in our field study, the abundance of P. akamusi correlated positively with most nutrient-related variables, indicating that this species can serve as sentinel organisms of nutrient enrichment. We suggest that the high tolerance to anoxia and detritivorous diet of P. akamusi larvae may allow the species to benefit from nutrient enrichment. The vertical niche differentiation and the avoidance of benthivorous predator by vertical sediment migration behavior may also contribute to its high dominance in eutrophic freshwaters.

Nutrient enrichment increases virulence in an opportunistic environmental pathogen, with greater effect at low bacterial doses
Pulkkinen, Katja; Taskinen, Jouni (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2024)Eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems is associated with an increased risk of pathogen infection via increased pathogen growth and host exposure via increased pathogen doses. Here we studied the effect of nutrients on the ... -
Lake browning impacts community structure and essential fatty acid content of littoral invertebrates in boreal lakes
Kesti, Petri; Hiltunen, Minna; Strandberg, Ursula; Vesterinen, Jussi; Taipale, Sami; Kankaala, Paula (Springer, 2022)Many lakes in the northern hemisphere are browning due to increasing concentrations of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The consequences of lake browning to littoral invertebrates, however, are not fully understood. ... -
Inferring fish abundance in lakes from subfossil midge (Diptera:Chironomidae) remains
Perrine, Sarah (2017)This study assessed the possibility of using subfossil remains of chironomid head capsules to reconstruct past fish abundances in lakes. Using data from 20 Swedish lakes, a weighted average (WA) model was created to predict ... -
Improving statistical classification methods and ecological status assessment for river macroinvertebrates
Ärje, Johanna (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Aquatic ecosystems are facing a growing number of human-induced stressors and the need to implement more biomonitoring to assess the ecological status of water bodies is eminent. This dissertation aims at providing tools ... -
Benchmark Database for Fine-Grained Image Classification of Benthic Macroinvertebrates
Raitoharju, Jenni; Riabchenko, Ekaterina; Ahmad, Iftikhar; Iosifidis, Alexandros; Gabbouj, Moncef; Kiranyaz, Serkan; Tirronen, Ville; Ärje, Johanna; Kärkkäinen, Salme; Meissner, Kristian (Elsevier BV, 2018)Managing the water quality of freshwaters is a crucial task worldwide. One of the most used methods to biomonitor water quality is to sample benthic macroinvertebrate communities, in particular to examine the presence and ...
