This study focuses on the bioecology of rodents in the Metlili and Mansoura regions, aiming
to map their spatio-temporal distribution across different study sites. Random trapping using
both sticky traps and pitfall traps was conducted at four different stations: Metlili, Oued Drine,
Sebseb, and Mansoura. A total of 26 rodent individuals were captured using 155 traps,
representing 10 species belonging to two subfamilies, Murinae and Gerbillinae. The most
frequently captured species was Gerbillidae sp. (FC = 55.55%). The Shannon-Weaver diversity
index was estimated at 1.63 bits, with evenness values ranging between 0.15 and 0.19.
