Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze chironomid data from across the Canadian Arctic, to be used to develop transfer functions of past July air temperatures. Thirty-five taxa were identified, with the most abundant from the subtribe Tanytarsina and the remainder mostly from the Orthocladiinae subfamily. Several taxa, including Parakiefferiella nigra-type, Chironomus spp, Zalutschia spA and spB, Procladius, Psectrocladius spp., Pentaneurini-other, and Stictochironomus were present on Ellesmere Island, absent from the central islands and present again toward the south. Hydrobaenus/Oliveridia spp., Pseudodiamesa and Paracladius had highest relative abundance in the central Islands and Abiskomyia is constrained to lower latitudes.
