Frank MaseseDr Frank Masese is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Science, University of Eldoret, Kenya. His research interests lie mainly in biodiversity assessments (macroinvertebrates and fishes), ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry,with a focus on riverine ecosystems. His studies straddle the terrestrial-aquatic domain where he seeks to understand how landscape variables shape aquatic ecosystem structure and functioning. The topics that Dr Masese studies include organic matter processing, nutrient cycling, community composition, biomonitoring, and energy/carbon sources and flow in food webs, which are dominated by his favourite invertebrates but made complete by algae and fishes. Dr Masese is a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow and a Member of Editorial Boards of Freshwater Biology, PLOS ONE and PeerJ. He has also Guest Edited Special Issues/ Topics for Water, Hydrobiologia, Frontiers in Water and Frontiers in Environmental Science. Dr Masese is currently involved in several ecology, biodiversity conservation and water resources management projects in Kenya and East Africa and has published >70 scientific publications and >10 un/published reports to date. Working with fellow researchers, Dr Masese is in the final stages of developing a biological criterion for monitoring surface waters in Kenya. Read More Read Less
