Only 30 chironomid species distributed in 16 genera and three subfamilies are formally recorded to Colombia. Another 32 genera and two subfamilies have been recorded on larval stage, with no identification at species level. Many new records, genera and species are expected when focusing on systematics of chironomids from Colombia.

Smittia aterrima (Meigen, 1818) and Smittia pratorum (Goetghebuer, 1927) are important indicator insects for aquatic environments, showing extensive tolerance to the environment. However, the genome-wide phylogenetic relationships and characteristics of the detoxification mechanisms in S. aterrima and S.

The mosquito control agent Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) is considered environmentally friendly due to its highly specific mode of action. Nevertheless, adverse effects of Bti have been observed in non-biting midges of the family Chironomidae.

This study considered using insect families as bioindicators to establish the health status of an ecosystem of lentic bodies. The water quality in urban lentic bodies in the Metropolitan Region, Chile, was evaluated from aquatic insect family assemblages and physicochemical variables for conserving aquatic life. Evaluations were carried out in parallel at four sampling stations of three water bodies (Batuco Wetland, Carén Lagoon, and Chada Reservoir) in a 2-3-year series, spring (2015, 2017, and 2018) and fall (2016 and 2018), with three replicates.

Microviruses are single-stranded DNA bacteriophages and members of the highly diverse viral family . Microviruses have a seemingly ubiquitous presence across animal gut microbiomes and other global environmental ecosystems. Most of the studies on microvirus diversity so far have been associated with vertebrate gut viromes.
