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 ...
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. ...
Amino acid neurotoxins in feathers of the Lesser Flamingo, Phoeniconaias minor
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
The Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) is known to use cyanobacteria (primarily Arthrospira) as a major food source in the East African Rift Valley lakes. Periodically, mass mortalities have occurred, associated with ...
Hidden diversity of eukaryotic plankton in the soda lake Nakuru, Kenya, during a phase of low salinity revealed by a SSU rRNA gene clone library
(Springer, 2013)
A SSU rRNA gene clone library was
constructed to establish the diversity of eukaryotic
plankton in the African soda lake Nakuru during a
phase of low salinity (9.7 ppt = hyposaline). Normally,
the lake is mesosaline ...
