title: Spotted Ground Thrush Survey in Kenyan Coastal Forests, 2003

description: Spotted Ground Thrush Zoothera guttata is a rare, elusive and little-known bird species with a wide but discontinuous distribution. Severe threats in the form of forest loss and fragmentation leading to rapid population decline have led to the species being classified as Endangered (BirdLife International 2000, 2007). Zoothera guttata is known only as a non-breeding visitor between late March and November to forests on the Kenya coast (Bennun 1992). Information regarding the Spotted Ground Thrush in most Kenyan sites has been scanty and scattered, making it difficult to clearly understand its status in Kenya. Bennun (1985, 1987) did the only focused studies on Spotted Ground Thrush in Kenya. In 1983 he did a short study assessing the species’ status and general ecology at Gede Ruins Forest. This was later followed up by a one-week ringing session in 1985. Further ringing was done at Gede Ruins and Arabuko-Sokoke forests in 1992. A long time had passed since these last bird surveys. This necessitated follow-up surveys of the Spotted Ground Thrush forests at the Kenyan coast to assess the current status of the species and its forest habitat. This dataset contains results of examining the conservation status of Zoothera guttata on its non-breeding grounds in the Kenya coastal forests achieved through re-assessing: (1) its current and probable changes in population, distribution and forest habitat status, and (2) existing conservation measures that benefit the species. The dataset contains 11 records of Spotted Ground Thrush. The data were formatted according to the Darwin Core Standards by A Rocha Kenya before publishing through the IPT at the National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi.

title: Timed Species Count Data collected in the Lower Tana River Forest Fragments 1999 - 2001

description: The Lower Tana River Forest patches in Coastal Kenya are remnants of a vast tropical forest that once extended from the East Coast of Africa to the Congo Basin during the Miocene (some 26million years ago). The forest now occurs patchily on each side of the river. The forest fragments are among the key forests for bird conservation in Africa and qualify as an Important Bird Area (Bennun & Njoroge 1999). However, there has been little systematic ornithological work in the Lower Tana, and information on the avifauna is patchy and scant. The forest fragments are at different succession stages and are unlikely to be of equal conservation importance to birds hence the studies sought to characterize the avifauna of the different forests' types in Lower Tana River and to identify the most important fragments for bird’s conservation. This dataset gives baseline information on the timed species count events of birds at the Lower Tana River Forest Fragments including; Mchelelo, Mnazini South, Mnazini North, Congolani Central, Guru North, Guru South, Makere West and East, Mchelelo East, Sifa East, Wenje East, Baomo South, Maroni East, Maroni West and Kipende West between 1999 to 2001. Guru North,Guru South, Kipende West and Sifa East areas was given the Tana River Forest central point coordinates as they were missing from google maps. A total of 161 species were observed. Among these species, 2 were globally near threatened species, 2 regionally vulnerable species and 6 East Coast biome species.

title: African rotifer records

description: We report a dataset of all known and published occurrence records of animals of the phylum Rotifera, including Bdelloidea, Monogononta, and Seisonacea (with the exclusion of Acanthocephala) for Africa and surrounding islands and archipelagos. The dataset includes 27,225 records of 957 taxa (subspecies: 39; species: 819; genus: 81; family: 17; group: 1), gathered from 706 published papers. The published literature spans from 1854 to 2022, with the highest number of records in the decades 1990-1999 and 2010-2019. <br> 230 records of "species inquirendae", "nomina nuda", and "genera inquirenda" found in the published literature were not included in the dataset. Almost 90 % of the data are georeferenced. The African countries with the highest number of taxa are Nigeria, Algeria, South Africa, and Democratic Republic of the Congo, whereas no records are yet available for a dozen countries. The number of species known from each country can be explained mostly by sampling efforts, measured as the number of papers published for each country up to October 2022. This detailed literature search increased the number of known rotifer taxa at species, subspecies, form and variety level reported in previous reviews, which were 639 in 1986 (De Ridder, 1986) and 765 (Smolak et al., 2022) in 2022. Of the taxa reported in the current dataset, 167 (18%) are Bdelloidea, 665 (698%) Ploima, 97 (10%) Flosculariaceae, 27 (3%) Collothecacea and one representative of Seisonacea, the marine epizoic rotifer Seison africanus Sørensen, Segers & Funch, 2005 described and recorded only from coastal waters of Kenya (Sørensen et al., 2005). The data were structured based on the Darwin Core standard (Wieczorek et al., 2012). The dataset is structured to have in each row each record of a rotifer taxon from a sample from Africa and surrounding islands, as cited in the literature. The columns report the original and updated taxon name, additional taxonomic information together with origin of the data and habitat.<br> All invalid names (i.e. at the level of species inquirenda, nomen nudum, genus inquirendum) were not included in the records uploaded to GBIF. All names were also checked against the backbone of GBIF.

title: Occurrence of Butterflies in Kenyan Coastal Forests, 1914 to 2022

description: Kenya coastal forests are the forests of the coastal strip of Kenya in east Africa which are composed of mangrove forests of the salt-water coasts, the forests of the mountain systems and the lowland forest patches (Mutuku P. 2005). These forests lie between Latitude 2°22'S, Longitude 40°28'E Lamu and latitude 4°38'S, Longitude 39°22'E Kwale and are distributed in four counties: Lamu to the North, Kilifi in the middle and Kwale to the south including Mombasa City (Matiku, P. (2005)). These forests are biodiversity hotspot areas with high butterfly abundance that have attracted international interest over the last decades as the realization of its biodiversity importance. This dataset presents 7,792 records of butterfly specimens preserved at the African Butterfly Research Institute. A total of 263 species of butterflies were recorded belonging to five key butterfly families in Kenya, namely Hesperiidae (38), Papilionidae (14), Pieridae (36), Nymphalidae (108), Lycaenidae (67). Some of the rare butterfly species of the Kenya Coast include Charaxes acuminatus shimbanus endemic to Shimba Hills, Amauris nossima mrima endemic to Mrima Hill and rare Coeliades chalybe, Artitropa reducta that were discovered from Base Titanium and Shimba Hills respectively during Environmental Impact Assessment and have been recorded in this dataset.

title: Occurrence of Butterflies in Taita-Taveta, 1912 to 2018

description: The Taita Hills form part of the Eastern Arc Mountain, a biodiversity hotspot stretching from Taita Hills Kenya to the Udzungwa Mountains in South-central Tanzania. The mountains have a very diverse flora and fauna with a great deal of endemism, about seven butterfly species are endemic to these forests and their fringes including Cymothoe teita (Teita glider), Charaxes xiphares desmondi (King forest Charaxes) and Papilio desmondi teita (Desmond’s blue-banded swallowtail) Charaxes druceanus teita, Charaxes acuminatus teitensis. Charaxes druceanus williamsi is endemic to Kasigau Forest, and together with the East Africa Coastal forests, have been placed as one of the 25 biodiversity hotspot globally. The rate of diminishing of the Taita Hills natural vegetation is so alarming due to the extensive agriculture development which has resulted in loss and fragmentation of habitat. About 220 species of butterflies that are projected to occur in Taita Hills are now under threat towards decline of their habitat. This dataset presents 548 records of butterfly specimens from the larger Taita-Taveta county preserved at the African Butterfly Research Institute. A total of 42 species of butterflies were recorded belonging to three families namely Papilionidae (6), Pieridae (12) and Nymphalidae (24).

title: Optimization of Multi-Fidelity Computer Experiments via the EQIE Criterion

description: Computer experiments based on mathematical models are powerful tools for understanding physical processes. This article addresses the problem of kriging-based optimization for deterministic computer experiments with tunable accuracy. Our approach is to use multi-fidelity computer experiments with increasing accuracy levels and a nonstationary Gaussian process model. We propose an optimization scheme that sequentially adds new computer runs by following two criteria. The first criterion, called EQI, scores candidate inputs with given level of accuracy, and the second criterion, called EQIE, scores candidate combinations of inputs and accuracy. From simulation results and a real example using finite element analysis, our method outperforms the expected improvement (EI) criterion that works for single-accuracy experiments. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Species checklist of fresh/brackishwater prawns genus Macrobrachium in Kenya available at the National Museums of Kenya's Natural History Collections, Invertebrates Zoology Section

description: Kenya is rich in aquatic biodiversity including the freshwater prawns genus Macrobrachium (Palaeomonidae: Decapoda) which are important in fisheries as human food sources. However, except for a few specimens of previously unindentified Macrobrachium species, there was no national reference collection of Macrobrachium species housed in the scientific collection of National Museums of Kenya despite specimens of similar species deposited in other International Museums. This greatly hampered local research and utilization patterns including potential aquaculture of Macrobrachium species that are known to be taxonomically difficult group. To establish the current status of Macrobrachium species in Kenya, an ecological study was carried out along rivers Tana and Athi in Kenya between the year 2015 and 2018. Occurrence of four species namely; Macrobrachium rude, M. equidens, M. lepidactylus and M. dolichodactylus in Kenya was confirmed using both morphological and genetic analysis to establish correct identification of the species. The morphological analysis was carried out in Kenya at National Museums of Kenya while genetic analysis was carried out at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University of Frankfurt/Main in Germany. This datasubset presents the checklist of four species that were recorded. The specimens are deposited in the Invertebrate scientific collection of the National Museums of Kenya (NMK), Nairobi.
