Keywords: chironomids; Corbicula clams; endosymbionts; gudgeon; larvae; mayfly EN chironomids Corbicula clams endosymbionts gudgeon larvae mayfly 1 5 5 01/04/23 20230101 NES 230101 In a sense, a single individual host can be considered an ecosystem. It is noteworthy to mention that one I Corbicula i contained both chironomid and mayfly larvae (Figure 1g), and two clams had two chironomid larvae under the mantle of the right and the left valves.
