Abstract

We report on the perceived impact of bird faeces as an agent of organic matter transfer on the density and species richness of the Chironomidae in the lakes of the Bolshoy Aynov island (Barents Sea, Northern Russia). In total we recorded 15 species of Chironomidae. Highest species richness and specimen numbers were recorded in Lake Severnoe, closest to the large bird colony.
