(a) Hierarchical clustering of species of aquatic insects in Winam Gulf. (A) Mbor: Microvelia borealis; (B) Galt: Gillis altilis; (C) Amor: A. merman; (D) Cor: Corixi sp.; (E) Pbru: Paraplea brunni; (F) Able: Ablebesmyia sp; (G) Chiro: Chironomus sp.; (H) Hab: Habrophlebia sp; (I) Pvil: Pentagenia viltigera; (J) Bcal: etis carolina; (K) Cmoe C. moesta; (L) Poly: Polycentropus sp; (M) Seri: Sericostomatidae sp; (N) Brau: Brauchycentridae sp; (O) Psep: Psepheaus sp; (P) Hydro: Hydrophyllus sp; (Q) Avir: Agrion virgo. The diversity indices were calculated using P.A.S.T version 4.03 statistical tool. (b) Hierarchical clustering was performed on individual species based on sampling stations in Winam Gulf, Lake Victoria. The stations are abbreviated as follows: nder-Ndere Island; mab-Maboko Island; fish-Fish Landing Beaches; hom-homabay; ken-Kendubay; kis-Kisumu Bay.
