Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the biodiversity and structure of the aquatic beetle community living in Tonga Lake, a protected area classified by Ramsar in 1983, northeastern Algeria, as well as to analyse the effect of environmental factorsin particular, the degree of invasion by physicochemical parameters of the water on the abundance and species richness of the aquatic beetle community. The collections were carried out between March 2017 and February 2018, at three selected sites. In total, 1.212 individuals were collected, 24 species were determined. The highest diversity was recorded during spring. Water samples were sampled seasonally from each site. The GLM showed that aquatic beetle abundance varied considerably among sites on a seasonal basis. GLM also showed significant effects of water physicochemical parameters on abundance and species richness of the beetle community.
期刊介绍：
Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
