Research on the composition of benthic macroinvertebrate populations, especially those of dipteran larvae and micro-crustaceans, has long been used as an investigative tool in Palaeoecology and Palaeolimnology, since micro-fossil remains such as the head capsules of the larvae are preserved in the sediment and can be used as indicators of past climatic and lake physical and chemical conditions (Walker, 1987; Prat and Rieradevall, 1995; Massaferro et al., 2005; Verschuren and Eggermont, 2006).
An essential issue in palaeolimnology is understanding the key events in the history of lake ecosystems and, on this basis, generating ideas for lake restoration.
