      Reliable taxonomy underpins communication in all of biology, not least nature conservation and sustainable use of ecosystem resources. The flexibility of taxonomic interpretations, however, presents a serious challenge for ...
    • Phenotypic and genetic variation within the Cricotopus sylvestris species-group (Diptera, Chironomidae), across a Nearctic - Palaearctic gradient 

      Gresens, Susan E.; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Intraspecific variation sometimes obscures species boundaries and makes identification of certain Chironomidae difficult. This is true for many species in the genus Cricotopus. We used DNA barcode data and multivariate ...
    • Phylogenetic analysis of the genus Paratanytarsus (Diptera: Chironomidae) 

      Dahle, Sondre (Master thesis, 2012)
      The non-biting midges (Chironomidae) are among of the most successful insects in freshwater systems and often dominate in abundance and species richness. The genus Paratanytarsus contains species from all biogeographic ...
