| Résumé : | The diet of the European pond terrapin Emys orbicularis is poorly known, especially in the Mediterranean region. Bannikov (1951) showed that in the Russian Republic of Daghestan this species mainly feeds on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Lebboroni and Chelazzi (1991) in Tuscany (Italy), and Kotenko (2000) in Ukraine noticed the predominance of invertebrates but a high occurrence of plant matter in the diet. The aim of our study was to determine the diet of E. orbicularis in Camargue, a Mediterranean habitat, and to investigate for eventual dietary shifts. |
