Conc Conclusion

  • Differences observed in Chironomidae counts are

statistically attributed to DEPTH & other factors

  • Bti – effect was systematically removed from best-fit CHI

emergence response models

  • Elevated Biodiversity in 2018 at BTI sites
  • Consistent increases in CHI counts suggest no

shortage of food for insectivores
