2026-05-26 Macroinvertebrates structural response to environmental stressors caused by to land use change in Afrotropical streams doi:10.57760/sciencedb.37946 en This study investigates how shifts in land use patterns—specifically the transition from natural vegetation (forests) to agricultural and urban landscapes—influence water quality and habitat integrity in Afrotropical river systems. By analyzing the structural response of macroinvertebrate communities, we demonstrate how specific environmental stressors act as ecological filters that alter community composition, diversity and functional traits.
