Biological and functional responses of in situ bioassays with Chironomus riparius larvae to assess river water quality and contamination

Single species responses have the potential to measure impacts at earlier stages than more traditional methods based in community structure. This study evaluates a bioassay with biological (survival, development, growth) and functional (post-exposure feeding rate) responses of Chironomus riparius la...
