The biodiversity of Apis mellifera intermissa in the northern parts of Algeria is analysed using geometric morphometric investigations of workers' forewing variability. A total of 3400 worker bees was collected from hived colonies throughout the northern parts of Algeria, between 35°19′N–37°01′N and 00°54′W–8°06′E. Results showed a clear differenti...

Geometric morphometric discrimination of the three African honeybee... 61 Geometric morphometric discrimination of the three African honeybee subspecies Apis mellifera intermissa, A. m. sahariensis and A. m. capensis (Hymenoptera, Apidae): Fore wing and hind wing landmark configurations Citation: Barour C, Baylac M (2016) Geometric morphometric dis...

Cette thèse nous a permis de démontrer que la morphométrie géométrique MG et plus précisément la méthodologie des points-repères que nous avons employé dans un cadre 2D ; via la superposition Procruste sur des images numérisées d’ailes antérieures et postérieures d’abeilles peut être amplement pratiquée pour répondre à nos questions au sujet de la...

Morphometric characters of worker honeybees, Apis mellifera Linnaeus, were analysed by multivariate methods to characterize their populations in the northeastern and southern regions (ecological-climatological zones) of Algeria, from 36°55' to 32°25'N and 3°39' to 8°22'E. Three morphoclusters were identified by using principal components and linear...

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the busiest areas worldwide in terms of considerable anthropogenic disturbances, such as pollution by pharmaceuticals. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is one of the most persistent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs affecting aquatic organisms in seawater. This study was therefore designed to elucidate the biological e...

The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of environmental pollution on the gastropod Stramonita haemastoma by examining various physiological and biochemical parameters. Trace metal elements (TME) were measured in the snail's foot. Over a one-year period from 2013 to 2014, the study investigated the variations in reduced glutathion...

Understanding the ecology and spatio-temporal distribution of mosquitoes is essential to the implementation of management programs. Periodic spatial investigations of mosquito species are critical for vector-borne disease monitoring. Bimonthly collections of immature mosquitoes from sixteen habitats in four districts of Tébessa Province (Northeast...

Comparative study was carried out on classical morphometric reproductive and biochemical parameters concerning populations of Atyephyra desmaresti sampled in northeast Algeria: the mouth of the Mafragh River with El Battah (site 1) is located in Annaba's Gulf, and Oubeira (site 2) and Tonga (site 3). Lakes are located in El Kala National Park. Prin...

The present work was undertaken to study the effect of sodium fluoride (NaF) exposure on renal oxidative stress status in rats and to evaluate the protective effects of both Punica granatum L. (PGJ) juice and gallic acid (GA). Thirty-six maleWistar rats were divided into six groups: C (n = 6) served as a control; NaF (n = 6) were treated with NaF a...

Diatoms have long been used as biological indicators of the quality of aquatic environments due to their important capacity to respond to environmental change. As th...

A survey of immature Culicidae was conducted in diverse habitats of Souk-Ahras province (Northeast Algeria) between December 2018 and November 2019. Altogether, 12,861 specimens were collected and identified. Nineteen species of mosquitoes, belonging to two main subfamilies viz. Culicinae (accounts for 84.21 %) and Anophelinae (as 15.79 %), under 5...

Introduction : Stachys and Lamium genera have been widely used in traditional medicine. This is the first study attempting to determine the biological active compounds, mineral elements content and in vitro antioxidant activities of two Algerian endemic taxa (Stachys marrubiifolia Viv. and Lamium flexuosum Ten.), as well as to evaluate the solvent...

Algeria by its geographical position, geological configuration and the diversity of its climate presents an important richness of national and international wetlands. However, due to lack of information and sensitization, these wetlands are being degraded both by anthropogenic activities and by their under-exploitation or overexploitation in the co...

The present study aimed to evaluate the responses of different biochemicals parameters associated with environmental pollution in the digestive gland of the gastropod mollusc Stramonita haemastoma. Physiochemical parameters and trace metal elements (Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb)) were measured in seawater. Spatio...

This study pertains to biometry and parasitism of the common carp captured in Lake Oubeira. This involved collection of 360 carp specimens, which were weighed and measured before being dissected to harvest the parasites. The size of the carp in Lake Oubeira varied from 11 to 51cm in length, although more than 70% did not exceed 31cm in length. This...

A seasonal study was carried out on monogenean ectoparasites collected from the fish species Cyprinus carpio (Cyprinidae) caught in the Foum El-Khanga reservoir in Souk Ahras (Algeria) during 2014. A total of 120 fish (30 individuals per season) was examined, producing 193 individual parasites of the subclass Monopisthocotylea. Based on morpho-anat...

The faecal contamination problem of Algerian coastal waters has not been deeply studied and associated health risks are not negligible in light of the increasing use of coastal waters in the last years (bathing, recreational beaches, shellfish consumption, shellfish productions sites). The aim of this work is to study the influence of temperature,...

Works on the inventory and the ecology of cyanobacteria in eastern Algeria began around the 1990. Since then, results of numerous studies conducted in various bodies of water (dams, lakes, lagoons ...) revealed the presence of toxin (microcystin) and a large number of genera of cyanobacteria to which potentially toxic recognized species are attache...

Ce travail a été réalisé dans le cadre d'un mémoire de Magister soutenu en Juin 2003; université d'Annaba UBMA. Des échantillons d’abeilles domestiques ont été prélevés en 12 localités le long d’un transect partant du Sud et allant jusqu’au Nord-Est de l’Algérie. L’analyse a porté sur trente-neuf colonies d’abeilles dont le nombre total d’individu...

Fish are a source of biologically valuable proteins. The common carp, Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758), is apparently the most widely distributed fish species in many regions of the world. Owing to its adaptation to a wide range of climatic and geographical conditions, it has been found infested with a substantial number of almost all major taxa of...
