The first large-scale record of gelada's spatial distribution and population size in Mountain chains of Tigray, Northern Ethiopia.

G whose range was reviously believed to be limited to the Bale and Simien Mountain national parks. However, knowledge of the range of the species is still not satisfactory. investigate the distribution and population size of the gelada in selected highlands in Tigray.

Limnological factors that affect waterbird assemblages in semi-arid reservoirs of Tigray National Regional State, northern Ethiopia.

Published accounts of the conservation of biodiversity indicate that understanding patterns of species distribution and richness is crucial. However, what drives patterns of species composition in a landscape remains debatable. I examined the relationship between limnological characteristics of reservoirs, morpho-edaphic variables, biological variables, and patterns of bird species richness and distribution.

Environment not dispersal limitation drives clonal composition of Arctic Daphnia in a recently deglaciated area.

One of the most prominent manifestations of the ongoing climate warming is the retreat of glaciers and ice sheets around the world. Retreating glaciers result in the formation of new ponds and lakes, which are available for colonization. The gradual appearance of these new habitat patches allows us to determine to what extent the composition of asexual Daphnia (water flea) populations is affected by environmental drivers vs.

Colonization history and clonal richness of asexual Daphnia in periglacial habitats of contrasting age in West Greenland.

Due to climate change, Arctic ice sheets are retreating. This leads to the formation of numerous new periglacial ponds and lakes, which are being colonized by planktonic organisms such as the water flea Daphnia. This system provides unique opportunities to test genotype colonization dynamics and the genetic assemblage of populations.
