Food algae for Lesser Flamingos: a stocktaking
Krienitz, Lothar; Krienitz, Doris; Dadheech, Pawan K.; Hübener, Thomas; Kotut, Kiplagat; Luo, Wei; Teubner, Katrin; Versfeld, Wilferd D. (Springer, 2016-07)Lesser Flamingo, the flagship species of saline wetlands of Africa and India, is a specialised feeder subsisting on microscopic cyanobacteria and algae. To establish the relationship between flamingo occurrence and food ... -
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
Luo, Wei; Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L. (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 ... -
Molecular diversity of plankton in a tropical crater lake switching from hyposaline to subsaline conditions: Lake Oloidien, Kenya
Kotut, Kiplagat; Luo, Wei; Li, Huirong; Krienitz, Lothar (Springer, 2016-09)Salinity in the climate sensitive tropical endorheic crater lake Oloidien (Great African Rift Valley, Kenya) decreased from hyposaline to subsaline conditions during the period 2010–2015. The change in salinity was ... -
Picocystis salinarum (Chlorophyta) in saline lakes and hot springs of East Africa.
Krienitz, L.; Bock, Christina; Kotut, Kiplagat; Luo, Wei (2012-01)The occurrence of Picocystis salinarum in saline inland waters of East Africa was investigated using a polyphasic approach of small-subunit (SSU) rDNA phylogeny and light microscope observations. Recent studies have found ...
