Using Macroinvertebrates and Birds to Assess the Environmental Status of Wetlands across Different Climatic Zones in Southwestern Ethiopia

2018-08-01

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the variation in macroinvertebrate and bird fauna of 12 different freshwater wetlands located in three different climatic zones of southwestern Ethiopia. Data on macroinvertebrates, birds, physico-chemical water quality variables, human disturbance and vegetation cover were collected from 62 sampling sites during the dry and wet season of 2015. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) were used to i...
