Nuestro estudio muestra un inventario de roedores del noroeste de Argelia. Tas especies se capturaron en dos regiones: Taouziant (Montañas Aurès ) y Bouchagroune (oasis de Ziban). El periodo de muestreo duró diez mees en cada lugar: en Taouziant de febrero a nobiembre de 2014 y en Bouchagroune de septiembre de 2013 a junio de 2014. El método de trampeo en línea fue llevado a cabo mediante 40 jaulas-trampas instaladas en las regiones de estudio. Se capturaron ocho especies, que pertenecen a tres subfamilias y seis géneros. Tres especies se distribuyen en las dos regiones Rattus rattus, Mus musculus y Gerbillus amoenus. Tres especies se capturaron en los campos de cereal de Taouziant ( Rattus norvegicus, Meriones shawii y Jaculus jaculus) y dos especies en el palmeral de Bouchagroune (Psammomys obesus y Gerbillus gerbillus) Our study presents an inventory of rodents in Northeast of Algeria. The species were captured at two regions: Taouziant (Aurès Montain) and Bouchagroune (Ziban oasis). The sampling period takes ten months at each site: in Taouziant between February to November 2014 and in Bouchagroune, from September 2013 to June 2014. The method of trapping online was performed using 40 wire traps installed at the studied regions. Eight species were captured. They belong to three subfamilies and six genera. Three species occur in the two regions: Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Gerbillus amoenus. Three species were captured in Taouziant cereal fields ( Rattus norvegicus, Meriones shawii and Jaculus jaculus) and two species were found in Bouchagroune palm grove (Psammomys obesus and Gerbillus gerbillus)
Mus spretus is endemic to the Mediterranean region and Jaculus orientalis is only found in North Africa and Saudi Arabia. Their presence in Algeria was previously evidenced in other studies, the present paper focuses on the recent discovery of the Jaculus orientalis Erxleben, 1777 and Mus spretus Lataste, 1883 in a new locality of the East of Algeria, in Khenchela region (Aurès Mountain), based on weight and external measurements. The sampling period took four months between April and July 2019. This observation will enrich the knowledge of Algerian Rodents fauna in general and of Khenchela in particular.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
