Little is known, however, about the effects of its repeated use on natural ecosystems over long periods of time. This study investigated the long-term effects of frequent low- intensity fire on forest ant communities by comparing frequently burnt sites with long-unburnt control sites. While the richness of ant communities remained largely unchanged, the composition of assemblages differed substan- tially between treatments. Although frequent burning apparently resulted in the loss of a substantial number of species, the overall richness of frequently burnt areas was maintained by the addition of species not present on unburnt sites. These changes in species composition were accompanied by major changes in community organi- sation (structure) and were considered to be a response to altered habitat conditions, particularly litter biomass, vegetation structure and patterns of insolation at ground level. Appropriate fire prescriptions could therefore be applied to manipulate these habitat elements at a landscape scale to meet both management and conservation goals. A comparison of pitfall trapping and litter extraction techniques revealed the importance of a composite sampling strategy, with 22\% of ant species detected only by litter extraction.}, keywords = {Ants, community structure, fire, litter extraction, pitfall trapping}, author = {York, A.} } @article {467, title = {Etude du peuplement de Scarab{\'e}ides coprophages autour d{\textquoteright}Amance (54) au printemps 1999}, journal = {Le Col{\'e}opt{\'e}riste}, volume = {40}, year = {2000}, pages = {187-192}, author = {TOUROULT, J.} } @article {468, title = {Onthophagus coenobita (Herbst), une esp{\`e}ce tr{\`e}s adaptable ?

Cette \étude traite du r\ôle des palmeraies de Palmier \à huile pour les insectes forestiers dans la partie Sud du B\énin. Nous avons \échantillonn\é 5 groupes fonctionnels : phytophages, sapro-xylophages, saprophages, pr\édateurs et n\écrophages, au travers de 9 unit\és taxonomiques. Nous avons compar\é trois milieux : for\êt, cultures et palmeraie, et travaill\é sur deux sites : un o\ù la palmeraie est loin de la for\êt et l\’autre o\ù la palmeraie jouxte la for\êt.
Globalement, peu d\’esp\èces foresti\ères semblent se d\évelopper dans la palmeraie. Cependant, des insectes qui ont besoin d\’un certain couvert s\’y d\éplacent quand celle-ci jouxte la for\êt.
Les milieux anthropis\és (cultures, palmeraie) ne pr\ésentent pas les m\êmes esp\èces que la for\êt, mais s\’av\èrent riches et diversifi\és. Ces milieux sont donc importants pour le maintien de la biodiversit\é au Sud-B\énin, au m\ême titre que la for\êt.
