Diversité végétale des bois sacrés suivant les secteurs phytogéographiques au Burkina Faso (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Savadogo S., Dimobe K., Ouoba YH
Au Burkina Faso, les bois sacrés sont des formations végétales protégées par les populations à des fins cultuelles. Ils sont préservés de l’action destructrice humaine car ils suscitent la crainte parmi les populations. Afin de montrer leur importance dans la conservation de la diversité végétale, les bois sacrés ont fait l’objet d’étude dans(...)

Background In aquatic larval habitats, Anopheles larvae are subject to the predatory activity and competition
of macroinvertebrates. These macroinvertebrates may play a key role in the Anopheles population’s bioregulation
in aquatic habitats and malaria control. There are few studies characterizing macroinvertebrate predators and other
macr(...)
