Diversity of hymenopteran families associated to quinoa crop in Algeria (case of Biskra province)

The quinoa (Chenopodium quinoaWilld.) crop is originated from Andean region (South America). Its nutritional values as well its drought climate and water salinity tolerant character have motivated many countries such Algeria to adapt a plant culture. This study aims assess entomofauna Hymenoptera order in terms of composition functional diversity. We aim also evaluate the consequences expansion uncommon on hymenopteran composition. For first field trial, survey was carried out Biskra province during 2018-2019. Shannon Wiener index evenness indices were used measure family’s results revealed that 1737 specimens identified into forty families 166 species. Formicidae species most abundant with 68 % total number individuals, followed by Braconidae 7 Crabronidae 5 %. As well, diversity collected yellow pan traps more important winter spring seasons. groups, indicated presence three major groups; parasitoids, pollinators predators. parasitoid group richest one.
