Influence of micro-habitats on the distribution of macroinvertebrates in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Victor Bancé, Adama Ouéda, Idrissa Kaboré, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Komandan Mano, Peter D.M. Weesie, Gustave B. Kabré
In this work, we assessed micro-habitat's influence on the distribution of macroinvertebrates in lake Ziga in Burkina Faso from July to December 2016. The water quality variables were measured in situ and the macroinvertebrates were collected with a hand net. The organisms were identified to the lower taxonomic resolution as possible. The resu(...)

Benthic Macroinvertebrates as Ecological Indicators: Their Sensitivity to the Water Quality and Human Disturbances in a Tropical River
Lallébila Tampo, Idrissa Kaboré, Elliot Haruna Alhassan, Adama Ouéda, Limam Bawa, Gbandi Djanéyé-Boundjou
Macroinvertebrate metrics are helpful tools for the assessment of water quality and overall aquatic ecosystem health. However, their degree of sensitivity and the most reliable metrics for the bioassessment program development are very poorly studied in Togo. This study aimed to test the sensitivity of metrics calculated at the family and genu(...)
