ABSTRACT
The current study aims to establish an inventory of arthropods from three types of palm plantations in the
region of Souf (33°-34° N and 6°-8° E ). Three sampling methods were used in this investigation. The pitfall trap
technique was used in the traditional palm grove of Robbah, in the modern palm grove of Dhaouia and in Oued El
Alenda. In the traditional palm grove of Robbah we collected 195 individuals belonging to 50 species. The Shannon-
Weaver Diversity Index (H') ranged from 2 .46 to 3.57 bits, and the evenness (E) from 0.82 and 1.07. In the modern
palm grove of Dhaouia 638 individuals were captured, corresponding to a richness (S) of 69 species, H' between 0.95
and 3.69 bits and E from 0.25 to 0.88 bits. In the abandoned palm plantation of Oued El Alenda we collected 28 species,
with S of 5,6 species, H' of 2.97 bits and E ranging from 0.47 to 0.85 bits. The use of the sweep net method allowed
collecting 165 individuals belonging to 68 species: 87 individuals belonging to 26 species in the traditional palm grove of
Robbah, 74 individuals belonging to 25 species In the modern palm grove of Dhaouia, and 40 individuals belonging to
17 species the abandoned palm plantation of Oued El Alenda. Finaly, 294 individuals representing 21 species, all of them belonging to the order Orthoptera, were collected using the method of the quadrats.

INTRODUCTION
The Oasis is an integral part the Saharan ecosystem. The date tree constitutes an ideal environment that
assures protection to insects either of economic interest or not. The palm grove, often organized into strata (herbs
or shrubs), promotes the sustainability of the predators that take refuge in the palm leaves during adverse
conditions [1]. However, the richness of an animal community is conditioned by climatic constraints, the
environment, and the resources the natural environments can provide [2].
The arthropod fauna of lively sands is generally important, sometimes dense and is a component of larva
groups that are closely related to the sand [3]. The current investigation was carried out in the region of the Souf
for a better knowledge of the Algerian Saharan arthropod fauna, especially that of the northern Sahara. It involves
recognition, and qualitative and quantitative inventory of arthropod species using three methods of capture, which
are the pitfall trap technique, the sweep net and the method of the quadrats. Many authors have used the same
methods to assess the size of the arthropod community within different plant formations. As illustrations, we cite

the faunistic analysis of three cultivated fields by [4] DESEO (1959) using traps, the study of [5] GILLON (1997) who
used the pitfall trap technique to assess the abundance of the arthropods of the herbaceous layer, and the work of [6]
BRAHMI (2005) who used the method of the quadrats in order to estimate the mammalian orthopteran prey community.
Unfortunately, this kind of study is very rare in the Algerian Sahara since the studies of [7] BEKKARI and BENZAOUI(1991) in the palm groves of the southeastern Algeria (Ouargla and Djamaa), [8] DJAKAM and KEBIZ (1993) in the palm
groves of the southwestern Algeria (Timimoun, Adrar and Béni Abbès), and [9] MOSBAHI and NAAM (1995) on the
fauna of the palm plantations of the Souf. These authors did not exploit their results of research with ecological indices.
This study is proposed to fill this gap.
Study Area
The region of the Souf belongs to the wilaya of El Oued, which is located in the Algerian Sahara at the
northeastern of the Grand Erg Oriental (33° 22’ N and 6° 53’ E), at about 560 km southeast to Algiers and 350 km west to
Gabes (Tunisia) [10], and at an elevation of about 70m [11]. It extends over an area of 350,000 hectares [12]. It It issurrounded on the north by the zone of chotts, to the east by the Tunisian borders, to the south by the extension of the
Grand Erg Oriental and to the west by the valley of Oued Righ (Figure 1). The region is characterized by an hyper-arid
climate.

METHODS
The choice of the different palm groves was based on the following criteria: ageing of the plantations, their
maintenance, their faunistic and floristic variability, the distance between palm trees within the same zone, and the
existence or absence of an operational drainage system. Three palm groves have been selected for this investigation: a
modern plantation located in Daouia, a traditional one in Robbah, and an abandoned plantation in Oued El Alenda.
SAMPLING
Selection and Description of Sampling Stations
We selected three sampling stations based on the type and state of the existing palm groves in the region of El
Oued Souf. The first station is the modern plantation of Daouia (Figure 2), located 10 km south of El Oued. It extends over
an area of 167 ha (121palm trees/ha), with 20,234 palm trees planted in a square of 9x9 m² (121palm trees/ha). The treespread according to the cultivars as follows: 13,836 Deglt-Nour, 3,348 Degla-Beida, 1,683 Ghars and 930 Dhokkar [13].

Sweep Net
The Sweep net is a tool which is used to collect coleopters, dragonflies, orthopters as well as insects on
vegetation.
Orthopterologic Quadrats
This method was used to estimate the size of the orthopters community within the different stations. The method
consists of quantifying each species of orthopters on a determined surface. We used a string about 12m long, squares
(quadrats) with 3m sides- that is a surface area of 9m2).
The determination of the species and the confirmations were based on the keys of determination of PERRIER
([14]; [15]; [16] and [17]), [18] PERRIER and DELPHY (1932) and [19] CHOPARD (1943), the specific publications, the
collections of insects of the department of agricultural and forest zoology of the National Institute of Agronomy, Algiers
(INA), and on personal collections. The study of [20] LOUVEAUX and BEN HALIMA (1987) was used in the
classification of the Acridoidae.
Data Analysis
Frequency of Occurrence (Constancy)
The frequency of occurrence is the ratio, expressed in a percentage, of the number of the samples containing the
species i to the total number of the samples performed [21]. According to [22] FAURIE et al. (2003), it is defined as
follows :
C (%) = (Pi x100) / P
C: constancy;
Pi: is the number of collections with the species in interest;
P: P is the total number of collections performed
The species with C > 50% were considered constant, with 25% < C < 50%, accessory and with c < 25%,
accidental. A species with C>5% is considered exceptional.
Species Richness (Total)
According to [23] BLONDEL (1979), Species richness is the total number of species in a community considered
in a given ecosystem. It is a fundamental parameter of a community of species [24].
Mean Species Richness (Sm)
The mean species richness is the mean number of species present in a sample of a biotope, which the surface is
fixed arbitrary. It is very useful in studies of the structure of the communities [25]. It gives to each species a proportional
weight to its probability of apparition in the samples and allows statistical comparison between species richness of several
communities [21]. Its equation is as follows
Sm =∑S / N
∑S: The total richness species in each sample.

N: Total number of samples.
Centesimal Frequency or Relative Abundance (AR%)
The relative abundance (AR%) allows assessing a species, a category of species, a class or an order (ni), in
relation to all existing animal communities (N) in a given faunistic sample. It is calculated according to the following
formula.
AR% = (ni x100) / N
Where
AR% is the relative abundance;
ni is the total number of individuals of a given species ;
N is the total number of individuals of all the collected species.
According to [22] FAURIE et al (2003), species are classified according to their relative abundance as ollows:
AR% > 75%: Very abundant;
50% < AR% < 75%: Abundant;
25% < AR% < 50%: Common.
5% < AR% < 25%: Rare;
AR% < 5%: Very rare.
Frequency of Occurrence (Constancy)
The frequency of occurrence is the ration, in percent, of the number of samples containing the species I to the total
number of samples [24]. According to [22] FAURIE et al. (2003) it is defined as follows:
C (%) = (Pi x100) / P
C: Constancy;
Pi: Number of samples containing the strudied species;
P: Total number of samples.
A species is constant if it is present in more than 50 % of the total samples ; it is accessory if it it is collected in
25 to 50 % of samples ; it is accidental if is present in less than 25%. When a species is irregular and present in less than
5% of samples it is called exceptional.
The Diversity Index of Shannon-Weaver (H’)
The Shannon Weaver diversity index corresponds to the calculation of the enthropy applied to a given community
[26]. The concept aims to provide from the capture of an individual in a sample as more information as its probability of
occurrence i slow [22].
According to, the diversity index of Shannon-Weaver is measured as follows:

H’ = - ∑ pi log2 pi
Where:
pi = ni / N;
H’: Diversity index (in bits)
Pi: Relative frequency of the category of individuals ;
ni: Total number of individuals of the species i;
N: Total number of all individuals.
This index have an ecological significance only when it is calculated for a community of species playing the
same role within a [22].
Evenness (E)
The evenness is considered as the measure of equality of abundances in a community. It is the ratio of the
observed diversity to the maximal diversity [21].
E = H’obs / H’ max
H’ obs: observed diversity;
H’ max: maximal diversity, related to the specific richness. H’max = log2 S ;
S: specific richness (number of species).
The value of the evenness ranges from 0 to 1. E tends to 0 when nearly all individuals correspond to only one
species of the community; it tends to 1 when all species are equally represented [25].
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The collected arthropodologic fauna with the three sampling methods in the three palm groves consisted of 1,574
individuals, belonging to 4 classes of the arthropod branch, 16 orders, 64 families and 122 species. The global inventory of
species in the modern palm plantation of Dhaouia registered 86 species which belong to 4 classes and 14 orders. The class
Insecta was the most representative (Tabl. 1). It is represented by 11 orders, which are the Coleoptera, Orthoptera,
Hyminoptera, Blattoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Heteroptera, Dermaptera. Homoptera Isoptera, and Nevroptera. In the
traditional plantation of Robbah, we collected 76 species divided into three classes, in which the class of Insecta is
dominant with 43 species divided into 10 orders: Coleoptera (16 species), Aranea (5 species) Hymenoptera (14 species),
Orthoptera (5 species), Diptera (5 species), Dermaptera, Hemiptera, and the Isopodae, Blattoptera and Homoptera
represented by only one species (Tabl. 1). The class Arachnida recorded 5 especies belonging to one order, the Aranea.
The class Crustaceea is represented by only one order, Isopoda, and one species.
In the palm grove of Oued El Alenda we collected 372 individuals, divided into 44 species belonging to three
(Tabl. 1). The class Insecta is the most represented, with 26 species divided into 6 orders (Coleoptera with 14 species,
Hymenoptera with 4 species, Diptera with 3 species, and Orthoptera, Homoptera and Nevroptera with one single species
each). It is followed by the class d’Arachnida, represented by the orders Phalangida (1 species) and Ixodida (1 species),

and the class Podurata, with only one order and one species.
In the traditional palm grove of Robbah (Ghout system) the number of species collected monthly with the three
sampling methods 76, with a total of 374 individuals, divided into 3 classes (Tab. 1). In the abandoned palm plantation of
Oued El Alenda (Ghoute system), the total number of the collected species was 44: 372 individuals divided into 3 classes.
In the modern palm plantation of Dhaouia 4 classes are represented by 86 species with 826 individuals (Table 1).
The results are more interesting than those [27] who noticed 286 individuals representing 75 species in the traditional
plantation of the Souf region. However, in the vegetable plantings of Guemar, [28] ALIA and FERDJANI (2008) collected
1035 individuals divided into 32 species. On the other hand, in Taghzout, [29] ZERIG (2008) noticed the presence of 651
individuals in a vegetable planting and 71 species in the region of the Souf. In the current study, it is important to notice
the dominance of Insecta, which recorded 174 individuals in the traditional palm plantation, 552 in the modern and 184 in
the abandoned palm grove. However, in a modern palm plantation, [27] LABBI (2009) reported the dominance of of the
Coleoptera with 38 species, followed by the Orthoptera with 28 species. In our study, the dominant class Insecta isfollowed by Arachnida, which was registered in the traditional palm plantation of Robbah with 16 individuals, and the
class Crustacea with 5 individuals.
The total richness of all sampled months reached 70 species in the traditional palm plantation of Robbah, 86
species in the modern palm plantation of Dhaouia, and 44 species the abandoned palm grove of Oued El Alenda (Fig. 5). It
is important to note that the total richness is lower in the last palm plantation. These results favorably compare to the
findings of [29] ZERIG (2008), who noticed 46 species in a station of vegetable plantation in Dhaouia and 71 species in
another one in Taghzout. On the other hand, [28] ALIA and FERDJANI (2008) collected 60 species in a station of
vegetable plantation in Guemar and 65 species in another one in Dabadibe. [27] LEBBI (2009) noticed 64 species in a
traditional palm plantation, 83 species in a modern plantation and 68 species in an abandoned palm plantation in the region
of the Souf.
Among the 147 species of arthropods that were collected in the three palm plantations, 69 species, represented by
683 individuals, were during the period 2009-2010 in the modern palm plantation. The Hymenoptera are represented by
304 individuals (47,65 %), the Coleoptera by 125 individuals (25,86 %) and the Isopoda by 76 individuals (11,91 %). In
the traditional palm plantation we collected 50 species, with a total number of 195 individuals. The order Hymenoptera is
dominant, with 91 individuals, followed by the Coleoptera with 56 individuals (28,72%). Using the same sampling
method, [29] ZERIG (2008), collected a total of 651 individuals divided into 71 species in the station Taghzout. [27]
LABBI (2009), collected 75 species, with a total of 286 individuals in the traditional palm plantation. However the author
reported the dominance of the Orthoptera, which registered 28 species and a total number of 294 individuals. The most
represented category was the Hymenoptera which dominate with 130 individuals (44,22%), followed by the orders
Isopoda, with 106 individuals (36,05%), and Coleoptera, represented by 44 individuals (14,97%). However, in a station in
Guemar, [28] ALIA and FERDJANI (2008) noticed the dominance of the category Coleoptera with a total of 586
individuals divided into entre 32 species.
The results revealed 35 accidental species, 11 accessory species and 2 constant in the traditional palm plantation
of Robbah. In the modern palm grove of Dhaouia, 56 species are accidental, 6 are accessory, and 8 are constant. In the
abandoned palm grove of Oued El Alenda, 18 species are accidental, 3 are accesssory, and 6 are constant. As for the
evenness, the related category is represented by one species. [30] AGGAB (2009) noticed 49 accidental ,11 accessory

species, one even species and one constant species, Messor arinarus.
The Shannon-Weaver diversity index (H’), which was calculated for the experimental period, is 4.98 bits in the
traditional palm plantation, 3.87 bits in the modern palm plantation of Dhaouia and 2,97 bits in the abandoned palm grove
of Oued El Alenda. The importance of the species diversity in the modern palm plantation of Dhaouia may be due to the
irrigation system, which is the drip irrigation method. We notice that there is no system of irrigation in the abandoned palm
grove of Oued El Alenda. Similar results were reported by [28] ALIA and FERDJANI (2008), who noticed H’ of 4 bits in
Guemar and 4.6 bits in Dabadibe. [29] ZERIG (2008) noticed an index 2.38 bits in a station in Dhaouia. Higher H’ values
were recorded by [30] AGGAB(2009), with 5.90 bits in a station in Debila and 6 bits in another one in Elhamaisa.
The registered evenness in the three palm platations is close to 1. This shows that the sampled individuals of the
different species tend to be equilibrated. The same result was reported by [29] ZERIG (2008) in Taghzout and [30]
AGGAB (2009) in Elhamaisa and Debila.

CONCLUSIONS
Our results showed that the arthropodologic fauna biodiversity is quantitatively and qualitatively variable and rich
in the palm plantation of Dhaouia.
In the future, it would be interesting to achieve a complete sampling using other techniques such as luminous

traps for the nocturnal insects. Besides, it is necessary to enlarge the study to other stations and determine endemic species
of each region. It is also interesting to classify the predators and depredators (species), adopt sampling methods adapted to
quantifying populations of arthropods, and consider a sampling campaign over the whole study area during the whole
annual cycle.
