The paper examines phytoplankton beta diversity in Kenyan waterpans across seasons and land use, finding that genus replacement and weak spatial structure drive diversity patterns, with nutrient levels and cyanobacteria playing key roles in the dry season.

The paper examines how dispersal ability affects macroinvertebrate community structure in streams, finding that environmental filtering and different dispersal pathways have varying influences based on species traits.

The paper assesses land-use effects on benthic algal assemblages in Afrotropical streams, finding that natural forests support diverse diatom communities, while smallholder tea areas show higher chlorophyll-a and lower biomass.
