Mass developments of a small sized ecotype of Arthrospira fusiformis in Lake Oloidien, Kenya, a new feeding ground for Lesser Flamingos in East Africa
(2013)
The Lesser Flamingos constantly commute between the soda lakes of East Africa in search of food. Their preferred food, the cyanobacterium Arthrospira fusiformis, usually establishes dense populations in saline–alkaline ...
Cyanobacterial diversity in the hot spring, pelagic and benthic habitats of a tropical soda lake
(2013-08)
Hot springs and saline-alkaline lakes of East Africa are extreme habitats regarding temperature, or salinity and pH, respectively. This study examines whether divergent habitats of Lake Bogoria, Kenya, impacts cyanobacterial ...
The rise of potentially toxin producing cyanobacteria in Lake Naivasha, Great African Rift Valley, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2013-07)
Lake Naivasha, an important inland water ecosystem and a crucial freshwater resource in the Great African Rift Valley, has displayed clear signals of degradation in recent decades. We studied the phytoplankton composition ...
Mass developments of the cyanobacteria Anabaenopsis and Cyanospira (Nostocales) in the soda lakes of Kenya: ecological and systematic implications
(2013)
The food web of the saline–alkaline lakes
of East Africa is characterised by a unique interaction
between the Lesser Flamingos as consumer birds
and the cyanobacterium Arthrospira fusiformis as the
primary producer. ...
