Freshwater sponge-dwelling Chironomidae (Insecta, Diptera) in northeastern Brazil

Abstract: A região Neotropical possui uma rica fauna de esponjas de água doce, porém o conhecimento sobre sua taxonomia, bem como sobre as comunidades dentro delas permanece fragmentado. Larvas de Chironomidae (Insecta, Diptera) associadas a esponjas de água doce têm sido amplamente relatadas na literatura, com alguns gêneros que são reconhecidos como contendo espécies exclusivamente dependentes desses organismos. Neste estudo, analisamos a ocorrência de larvas de Chironomidae associadas a esponjas de água doce (Spongil… Show more

“…in all the samples indicates that Corvospongilla is a favorable habitat matching the known wide habitat range of this chironomid genus [24,69]. The present data, reporting Chironomidae larvae fairly commonly in the sponges from both the two shallow zones, match those of the Chironomidae [48,61,69], which is well represented in the Pong River's soft bottom, ranging from pristine to impacted water quality conditions [89]. Further in-depth analyses of the taxonomy and diversity of the chironomid larvae in the Pong River will be essential to clarify the sponge-midge interactions.…”

“…5G), naucorid beetles ( Fig. 5H), sponges (da Silva Fernandes et al 2019), and bryozoans (Moller Pillot 2009;Schiffels 2014). Host selectivity and the site of attachment to the host's body are taxon-specific, and are likely determined by the behavioral patterns of the hosts and the ecological requirements of the chironomids, such as their feeding guilds (Tokeshi 1993).…”
