Does the exclusion of meiofauna affect the estimation of biotic indices using stream invertebrates?
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Biomonitoring of rivers is usually undertaken using information based on macroinvertebrate assemblages.
However, exclusion of meiofauna (i.e. invertebrates less than 0.5 mm in size) when sorting benthic invertebrates
can ...
Effect of Sieve Mesh Size on the Estimation of Benthic Invertebrate Abundance and Composition in the Honi River, Kenya
(Nature Kenya/East African Natural History Society, 2014)
Characterisation of benthic invertebrate communities, taxonomic abundance and
composition provides information that is used during river bioassessment.
However, the mesh size of the sieves used during processing of ...
Invertebrate drift densities in the Njoro and Kamweti Rivers in the Kenyan highlands that differ in the level of anthropogenic disturbances
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
Invertebrate drift is one of several fundamental ecological processes in streams. However, little is known about
the dynamics of invertebrate drift in Kenyan streams. In this study, we assessed invertebrate drift in two ...
Benthic Macro-invertebrate Diversity and Biomass Distribution in Relation to Canopy Cover and Organic Matter in River Njoro, Kenya
(Egerton University, 2013)
Field experiments to quantify benthic macroinvertebrate density, diversity and biomass and benthic organic matter
(BOM) content in the River Njoro, Kenya, were conducted between January 2009 and April 2009 at four sites ...
Small Hydro-power Plants in Kenya: A Re view of Status, Challenges and Future Prospect
(Materials and Energy Research Center (MERC) & Iranian Association of Chemical Engineers (IAChE), 2016)
Small Hydro-power Plants (SHP) are important sources of electricity in many countries. However, little is known about SHP in Kenya. This paper reviews the status, challenges in implementation of SHP and prospects for future ...
