Various topics / Re: INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM IN...
Last post by Martin Spies - July 31, 2024, 01:53:02 PMThanks to Richard Cornette I have recently received a copy of the program and abstracts volume of the 21st International Symposium on Chironomidae, which was organized out of Tsukuba, Japan, and held online in 2022.
Please note that the abstracts volume is NOT a formal publication, e.g. in the sense of the nomenclature Code; thus, none of the taxon names, nomenclatural acts, etc., proposed in it are available or valid from the respective abstract.
However, the volume refers to MANY more chironomid studies than the mere handful of papers actually published in the proceedings from the same symposium (please see the CHIRONOMUS Journal of Chironomidae Research No. 37 - Special Issue, published in 2023).
Consequently, in order to disseminate the information, I have added the citations of all 47 abstracts to the Bibliography of the Chironomidae. One way to find those references is to use the following search string in the search screen's "Journal/Book/Publisher" field: Cornette Shimura eds

Biology, ecology, phenology / About the front legs and vibra...
Last post by Wenbin Liu - June 30, 2024, 10:12:05 AMWe have recently conducted popular science education on Chironomidae for many middle school students and the general public, and currently have two related contents:
1. The name of Chironomidae comes from the shaking of its front legs, which can be observed naturally.
2. Chironomidae is currently the insect with the fastest wing-fluttering frequency in the world.
I would like to ask if someone are aware of any related literature or research on the phenomena or mechanisms of these two contents.
Best,
Wenbin

Last post by Dr. Peter Langton - March 13, 2024, 03:41:28 PMDear Dr. Milosevic,
I have been asked by Valeria Lencioni to inform the participants of the availability of my keys to chironomid pupal exuviae. Any possibility of slipping into the program the following: 'Update on the availability of keys to chironomid pupal exuviae by Peter H. Langton' ? Probably 5 minutes will suffice.
Best wishes,
Peter Langton
