In the present study, a first inventory of benthic macroinvertebrates in the Banco Stream, Cote d'Ivoire, and the correlations between environmental variables and taxonomic richness were analysed. Seven stations were sampled monthly over a 1-year period, using a hand net (10 × 10 cm, 250 μm mesh, 50 cm length). One hundred and thirty-two macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded. These taxa were distributed among 74 families and 15 orders belonging to Insecta (118 taxa; 89% of total richness), Oligochaeta (seven taxa), Crustacea (five taxa) and Mollusca (two taxa). Kruskal–Wallis test revealed significant difference (at least P |
