The illegal wildlife trade is a major driver behind the global loss of and pushing many species towards extinction. A large number wild cat are heavily traded: live animals a...
Abstract To assess potential health risks from heavy metal exposure through raw cow's milk, we investigated lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) levels in milk samples eastern Algeria using atomic absorption spectrometry estimated dietary for adults children. In 2021, 99 were collected various regions. Average Pb Cd 0.332 ± 0.097 0.016 0.011 mg/kg, respectively, with exceeding the MRL 99% 87% of samples. Estimated daily intake (EDI) values both metals below established limits, indicating acceptable...
The trade in primates as pets is a global enterprise and access to the Internet has increased, so too of live online. While quantifying primate physical markets relatively straightforward, limited insights have been made into via Internet. Here we followed three-pronged approach estimate prevalence ease purchasing online countries with different socioeconomic characteristics. We first conducted literature review, which found that Malaysia, Thailand, USA, Ukraine, South Africa, Russia stood...
Abstract The surge in internet accessibility has transformed wildlife trade by facilitating the acquisition of through online platforms. This scenario presents unique ethical challenges for researchers, as traditional frameworks in‐person research cannot be readily applied to realm. Currently, there is a lack clearly defined guidelines appropriate procedures when conducting (OWT) research. In response this, we consulted scientific literature on considerations and examined existing...
Overexploitation of resources represents a major factor in biodiversity loss. The illegal capture and trade wildlife species pose serious threat to them. Algeria is party the Convention on International Trade Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora (CITES) since 1982, thereby joining dynamics wild fauna flora protection. list was last updated by Executive Decree No. 12-235 24 May 2012. In Algeria, songbirds are greatly appreciated as pet animals enthusiasts. Unfortunately, habitat loss result...
The global wildlife trade is considered one of the main threats to conservation a large number imperilled species. African Grey parrots are most heavily traded groups birds, which led International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) list species as Endangered in 2016. We aim gain insight into nature Timneh and parrots' physical markets, pet shops, e-commerce platforms. In 15-month online survey Algeria's largest platform, we recorded 269 advertisements offering minimum 561 grey sale....

Counts carried out over two consecutive years (from September 2017 to August 2019) of waterbirds occupying the Lac des Oiseaux (Ramsar site, wilaya El-Tarf, extreme north-eastern Algeria) showed a species richness estimated at 38 waterbird belonging 11 families. The Anatidae and Scolopacidae with 10 7 respectively are most families represented. former mainly observed during wintering season latter summer period. From an effective point view, Rallidae, Eurasian Coot Fulica atra abundant....
Abstract To evaluate the impacts of anthropogenic activities on ecological diversity fauna associated with annelids in Algeria, seven sites were included this study: Saint-Cloud beach (Annaba), Stora (Skikda), Figuier (Boumerdes), Pointe-Pescade (Algiers), Stidia (Mostaganem), Bomo (Oran), and El-Mordjène (El-Kala), which served as reference site. Water samples, polychaetes, collected monthly from February 2016 to January 2017. The findings show that specimens (N = 40,411) belong 25 taxa,...
Summary Since antiquity, the keeping of finches as pets has been common throughout Mediterranean countries and it remains a widespread hobby to present day. most are sourced from wild this can have implications for their conservation, especially already imperilled species. We conducted survey 257 households in city Guelma, north-east Algeria, 70 participants European Goldfinch Carduelis carduelis show contest Algiers, understand owners’ motives cage birds find solutions mitigate any negative...
Abstract The white-headed duck is a globally threatened species and its populations have become fragmented undergone major decline in recent decades. Changes including long-term abundance (five times from 2005 to 2018) diurnal activity budget (2010−2011 2017−2018) with respect the effect of habitat features at Boussedra marsh (unprotected area) were compiled order fill some gaps status trend North African populations. population size decreased over years 2010 2018 by about 52.81%, was...
Abstract Decreased ambient temperature and shorter reproductive seasons are the two main obstacles that ectotherms face at higher elevations. Studies have shown some life history traits such as phenological windows of activity, duration, fitness components vary elevation increases. However, studies on elevational gradient southern range limit species lacking. In this study, we aim assessing aspects a spider species, sprassid Micrommata ligurina (C.L. Koch, 1845), across an from 30 to 1030 m...
In this current study, we examine the abundances and breeding phenology of three sympatric grebes (little, great crested black-necked grebes) in Dayet El Ferd. These were observed during all period (2011-2018) wetland, except September when grebe leaves region. The these show a significant difference. 2017, total number 71 nests was measured. mean clutch size 5.23 ± 1.49 eggs per nest. highest nest ten eggs, most contained (N=18).
Abstract The increased use of social media and classified advertisement websites has made wildlife trade more accessible, the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown may have exacerbated this trend. purpose study is to gain a deeper understanding in data-deficient region, where platforms are popular ways exchanging different goods products. Focussing on Algeria, for one year (January December 2020), we tracked pet parrot 12 Facebook groups specialising bird trade. There were 1143 advertisements 29...
Atmospheric conditions play an important role in structuring avian communities space and time. Here we assess the of weather on distribution abundance enigmatic glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) Northeast Algeria both wintering grounds breeding areas a survey spanning from 2011 to 2019. During study period, cooler years were wetter warmer drier. The population size region could be estimated 200-300 individuals. number individuals increased recent one site (Berrihane), but it did not show...
Abstract Accelerated spread of the non-native species Harmonia axyridis in Algeria may pose problem to local biodiversity, and new challenges natural resource management, economies. Three records this have been detected different part country via an investigation on social media platforms and, a citizen science database. Our findings indicate presence at least three localities, more than 400 km away for most distant them, highlighted important role developing countries where funding doing...
