Detritivorous invertebrates play major roles in organic matter processing and nutrient cycling in headwater streams. In this study, three common leaf species in upland Kenyan streams (Vernonia myriantha, Syzygium cordatum ...
A review of the populations of tilapiine species in lakes Victoria and Naivasha, East Africa
(African Journal of Aquatic Science, 2021)
This paper discusses the catch trends, population attributes and biological characteristics of tilapiine species
that are both native and that have been introduced into Lake Victoria and Lake Naivasha. Predation by Lates ...
Fish assemblages and size-spectra variation among rivers of Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya
(Ecological Indicators, 2020-07)
Riverine ecosystems are some of the most biologically diverse on earth, but are also among the most threatened
by anthropogenic actions. Lack of local-scale studies monitoring changes in riverine populations makes it ...
