Abstract

In West Africa, natural environments are strongly impacted by climatic crises such as those of the 70’s and 80’s but also by anthropogenic factors. The objective of this study was to update the knowledge about the entomological resources in the upper Senegal River basin in Mali. The captures took place in the Kayes region from June 2020 to May 2021 along streams, in fallows and fields over a distance of 100 to 200 m from the banks and in water at a depth of 0.5 to 1 m. Five trapping techniques were used (Swath net, fruit fly trap, buried trap, light trap and dip net). Captured insects were emptied into vials containing 70% alcohol, or kept in layers of cotton or newspaper. The study identified 23 orders, 108 families, 253 genus and 311 species for a total of 8797 individuals. The major orders frequently encountered were Coleoptera and Diptera. The species diversity H' ranged from 1.28 to 1.78 bits. This study contributes to a better knowledge of the entomological resources of the upper Senegal River basin in Mali. These results will enable the adoption of effective control measures for pests of tropical perennial crops. This work recommends that monitoring be implemented to document population dynamics.
