Environmental and Habitat Preferences of the Algerian Hedgehog Atelerix Algirus(Lereboullet, 1842) in El Kala National Park (North-East Algeria)
No full textWe conducted this study to identify the preferred habitat of Atelerix algirus in the National Park of El Kala (PNEK), through the analysis of the catches rates of the species combined to an ethno zoological survey carried out among the residents. The study was conducted between January 2010 and December 2011, in five localities of the Park, different by their useful areas (forests and agricultural land) and their degree of urbanization: Raml Souk, El Aioun, Berrihane, El Kala and Bougous. We also surveyed 57 residents of Berrihane locality. Our results identified the locality of Berrihane as the preferred area of life for the species within the PNEK. This area, which has the highest abundance, is rather semi-urban and as much forest as agricultural, meeting the different needs of the species in terms of survival, sustainability and reproduction. This study provided fundamental data on the bio-ecology of this urban adapt species in Mediterranean environments
BIODIVERSITY OF MACROINVERTEBRATES IN A STREAM OF MOUNT EDOUGH (NORTHEASTERN, ALGERIA)
No full textThe current study seeks to evaluate the biodiversity and the structure of the onstream macroinvertebrates community assemblage in Edough Mountain in north-eastern Algeria. Data was collected between April and June 2019 along a mountain stream, from its source to its outlet, with analysis of some physico - chemical parameters. After capturing 906 specimens, we were able to identify 08 taxonomic orders and 35 taxonomic families. The results showed that the richest and most abundant families are Dytiscidae (Coleoptera) and Corixidae (Heteroptera)
