Predation rates for Chaoborus americanus on different types of noncyclomorphic zooplankton prey were determined in the laboratory as a function of both prey species and density. The sequence of events ...

The freshwater aquatic larvae of the Chaoborus midge are the world's only truly planktonic insects, regulating their buoyancy using two pairs of internal air-filled sacs, one in the thorax and the ...

Chaoborus spp is a small fly species that is found all over the world (except in Antarctica). The insect spends one to two years of its life cycle under water in a larval state, in lakes no deeper ...
