• Respiration of midges (Diptera; Chironomidae) in British Columbian lakes: oxy‐regulation, temperature and their role as palaeo‐indicators (2008, background): “Over the last two decades, the quantitative and numerical approach in chironomid palaeoecology has substantially improved our knowledge of chironomid indicator potentials and species distribution patterns along environmental gradients, such as climate and temperature ( Brooks, 2006; Walker & Corres”
• The past ecology of Abies alba provides new perspectives on future responses of silver fir forests to global warming (2013, background): “Detailed knowledge of chironomid ecology, together with the development of transfer functions, has allowed chironomid-based paleotemperature records to be produced (e.g., Brooks 2006).”
• Subfossil Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) along a latitudinal gradient in Finland: development of a new temperature inference model (2009, background): “Temperature is known to be a major factor affecting chironomid distribution (Lotter et al., 1997; Larocque et al., 2001; Brooks, 2006; Porinchu et al., 2007), although many studies have shown that other environmental factors also influence their distribution; e.g. Brodersen and Lindegaard (1999)…”
• Chironomids as indicators in freshwater ecosystems: an assessment of the literature (2015, methodology): “These studies provided robust inferences about past changes in freshwater ecosystems, where chironomids have been applied as useful tools for performing reconstructions of a range of environments and have increasingly attracted attention over the past two decades (Walker et al., 1991; Brooks, 2006).”
• Synthesising the trait information of European Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera): Towards a new database (2016, background): “Fossil chironomid assemblages lso provided insights on past environmental conditions (Walker, 001; Brooks, 2006) whereas abnormalities in body parts, mostly outhpart deformities, have been used as indicator of contaminant ffects in both water and sediments (Rosenberg, 1992).”
