High Bird Species Diversity in Structurally Heterogeneous Farmland in Western Kenya

Mulwa, Ronald K.; Böhning-Gaese, Katrin; Schleuning, Matthias (Wiley, 2012-11)

Tropical ecosystems are globally important for bird diversity. In many tropical regions, land-use intensification has caused conversion of natural forests into human-modified habitats, such as secondary forests and ...
A Kenyan endemic bird species Turdoides hindei at home in invasive thickets

Mulwa, Ronald K.; Teucher, Mike; Fischer, Christina; Busch, Christin; Horn, Michelle; Igl, Jana; Kerner, Janika; Müller, Anke; Habel, Jan C. (Elsevier, 2015-03)

Thickets along rivers in Eastern Kenya are important habitats for many endangered species. These habitats also provide fundamental ecosystem services for humans. Intense anthropogenic activities during the past decades ...
Land scarcity, communication gaps and institutional confusions influence the loss of biodiversity in south-eastern Kenya

Habel, Jan C.; Nzau, Joslyn M.; Apfelbeck, Beate; Bendzko, Tobias; Fischer, Christina; Kimatu, Josphert N.; Mwakumanya, Maarifa A.; Maghenda, Marianne; Mulwa, Ronald K.; Rieckmann, Marco; Shauri, Halimu; Teucher, Mike; Schmitt, Christine (Springer, 2020-08)

The success of nature conservation strongly depends on the attitudes and awareness of people, as well as on the level of poverty, land scarcity, communication gaps, and governance structures. In this commentary we elaborate ...
Population genetics of the East African White-eye species complex

Mulwa, Ronald K.; Habel, Jan C.; Cox, Siobhan; Gassert, Franz; Meyer, Jobst; Lens, Luc (Springer Netherlands, 2013-10)

The Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot consists of isolated mountain massifs embedded within the dry lowland savannas of East Africa and of which the peaks and ridges are covered by cloud forest remnants. These cloud ...
Population signatures of large-scale, long-term disjunction and small-scale, short-term habitat fragmentation in an Afromontane forest bird

Mulwa, Ronald K.; Habel, J. C.; Gassert, F.; Rödder, D.; Ulrich, W.; Borghesio, L.; Husemann, M.; Lens, L. (Nature Publishing Group, 2014-09)

The Eastern Afromontane cloud forests occur as geographically distinct mountain exclaves. The conditions of these forests range from large to small and from fairly intact to strongly degraded. For this study, we sampled ...
The population status and ecology of Taita white-eye zosterops (polio aster) Silvanus (peters and Love ridge 1935) in the fragmented forests of Taita hills - Kenya

Mulwa, Ronald K. (2015-04-16)

This study was carried out on Taita White-eye, Zosterops (poliogaster) silvanus, an Endangered bird species endemic to the fragmented forests of the Taita Hills and Mt Kasigau in southeast Kenya. Before the present study, ...
Real-world complexity of food security and biodiversity conservation

Habel, Jan C.; Teucher, Mike; Hornetz, Berthold; Jaetzold, Ralph; Kimatu, Josphert N.; Kasili, Sichangi; Mairura, Zachariah; Mulwa, Ronald K.; Eggermont, Hilde; Weisser, Wolfgang W.; Lens, Luc (Springer Netherlands, 2015-01)

Feeding the booming human population and at the same time conserving biodiversity is a global challenge. Yet, it is particularly acute in developing countries where biodiversity is high and food-security low. There is an ...
Seasonal fluctuations of resource abundance and avian feeding guilds across forest–farmland boundaries in tropical Africa

Mulwa, Ronald K.; Neuschulz, Eike L.; Böhning-Gaese, Katrin; Schleuning, Matthias (Wiley, 2013-04)

Seasonal fluctuations in climatic factors are expected to increase in future decades. However, little is known about the response of tropical species communities to seasonal fluctuations in climate and resource availability, ...
Towards more equal footing in north–south biodiversity research: European and sub-Saharan viewpoints

Mulwa, Ronald K.; Habel, Jan C.; Eggermont, Hilde; Rieckmann, Marco; Koh, Lian P.; Niassy, Saliou; Ferguson, Willem J. H.; Gebremichael, Gelaye; Githiru, Mwangi; Weisser, Wolfgang W.; Lens, Luc (Springer Netherlands, 2014-11-06)

Research collaboration between developed countries from the northern hemisphere and developing countries in the southern hemisphere is essential for the understanding and protection of the major proportion of biodiversity ...
A vifauna l S urveys of Hilltop forests in the semi - arid areas of Kitui and Mwingi Districts, Eastern Kenya

Mulwa, Ronald K. (2015-04-16)

We conducte d an extensive avifaunal survey in the poorly known dryland hilltop forests of Kitui and Mwingi Districts to provide an inventory of the birds species. The survey covered f ive dryland hilltop masses ...
