摘要：

The distributions of chironomid, ceratopogonid, and Chaoborus fly remains from 20 lakes in the Northwest Territories were studied with respect to treeline and lake depth. The distributions illustrate the relation between faunal composition and lake depth, the importance of treeline as an ecological boundary for aquatic insects, and the potential value of chironomid head capsules and other aquatic insect remains as proxy indicators of past changes in treeline position and associated limnological and climatological conditions.
