Abstract: (french)
Le Rift Albertin est une écorégion qui s'étend depuis le nord du Lac Albert dans les Monts Bleu jusqu'à l'extrême sud du Lac Tanganyika. Cette zone attire l'attention des naturalistes et scientifiques. En effet, il est caractérisé par une richesse spécifique endémique et vulnérable très élevée. Nous voulons contribuer à la connaissance des taxa de la biodiversité terrestre et aquatique selon la logique de la conservation. Nos inventaires chez les chauves-souris ont montré la présence de 23 espèces, sept familles et deux sous ordres dans quatre sites. Les Megachiroptera sont représentés par une seule famille et 13 espèces alors que les Microchiroptera avec six familles et 10 espèces. Les paramètres démoécologiques montrent c'est le Parc de Kahuzi-Biega (Patrimoine mondial) plus environs avec une abondance élevée semble avoir une grande richesse spécifique. Viennent ensuite la Réserve Forestière de Bururi (Burundi) et les plateaux de Misotshi-Kabogo. En dernière position c'est la Réserve Communautaira de Bushema-Irangi. Les indices de diversité de Shannon confirment ces faits. Le quotient de similarité de Sorensen s'avère supérieur entre Kahuzi-Biega et Bushema, vient après Kabogo et Bushema, puis entre Kabogo et Bururi, Kabobo et Kahuzi-Biega, Bururi-Bushema et finalement faible entre Bururi-Kahuzi et Bururi-Bushema. Toutes les espèces recensées sont importantes au vue de leur rôle dans la chaine trophique. Les unes sont prédateurs, par exemples les Microchiroptera (Insectivores) et tous sont proies des carnivores.
