ABSTRACT
This study establishes the spatio-temporal distribution of Sciomyzidae (Diptera) in relation with environmental factors in four localities in Benin. These communities are located at the south (localities 1 and 2) and at the center (localities 3 and 4) and were sampled monthly during an annual cycle from August 2014 to July 2015. The test of Shapiro, of Kruskal Wallis, the Analysis in Principal Component (ACP) and the Factorial Analysis of Correspondences (AFC) were applied to all the data obtained. A total, eight species were identified with an abundance 3656 individuals enumerated throughout the study period. Sepedon (Parasepedon) ruficeps and Sepedon (Parasepedon) trichrooscelis dominated all the stands. The variation of abundance, temperature and rainfall is highly significant from one locality to another and season to another (p <0.001). The typologies realized by the ACP and AFC reveal two opposite groups, GI and GII, characterized by an equidistant distribution of the species.
Key words: Sciomyzidae species, Dynamic population, Diversity indices, Afrotropical region.
