About Armin: Armin is an aquatic entomologist, aquatic ecologist and a limnologist. Armin has worked on various graduate and post graduate freshwater ecology research for over 15 years. In addition he has spent the past 10 years on developing ways to integrate the knowledge of taxonomy and phylogeny into the ecological investigations. In doing so, his main focus has been on a specific group of aquatic insects called the Chironomidae or non-biting midges. Armin is a Certified taxonomist from Society for Freshwater Science.
