The introduction of top predators markedly affects the chironomid assemblages of lacustrine ecosystems Fish introduction changed the composition of the chironomid assemblage via direct predation impact and cascading impact Climate oscillations and anthropogenic activities play a secondary role in shaping and structuring the biotic communities Micropsectra group and Polypedilum nubifer-group, seem to be more sensible to the introduction of top predators Chironomus plumosus-type, owing to their ecological warming requirements, seem to be more triggered by climate fluctuations.
