The assessment of the impact of urban and industrial landscapes on the occurrence of vulnerable species is one key step in the view to maintaining them in environments that are becoming urbanised. In the present study, we aimed to investigate this issue with regards to the vulnerable European Turtle Dove (TD) (Streptopelia turtur) in the coastal Mediterranean oases. Here, we used data on a series of variables, including microhabitat and urban-industrial landscapes, to identify the best predictors that cause variation in the probability of TD occurrence by means of generalized linear mixed models. The results revealed a significant interaction between the distance to the industrial complex and coverage of fruit trees at the microhabitat scale in explaining this probability (Adj. R² = 22%; P = 0.001). This probability becomes higher than 0.50 when the distance from the industrial complex is more than 8 km and the cover of fruit trees is above 30%. A high probability of TD occurrence is also recorded in the presence of a very weak cover of urban areas. In the Gabès region, the highest probability of TD occurrence was recorded in the southern oases, thus highlighting their central role in conserving this Columbidae. For the species’ conservation, it is imperative to (i) uninstall the Gabès industrial complex from this coastal Mediterranean area, (ii) protect the southern oases, which constitute important breeding areas for the species in the south-east of Tunisia, (iii) enhance habitat quality in the farthest oases from the industrial complex, and (iv) set up a monitoring system aiming to quantify the impact of urban growth on this North African TD population.

评估城市和工业景观对脆弱物种发生的影响是在城市化环境中维持它们的关键步骤之一。在本研究中，我们旨在调查有关地中海沿岸绿洲中脆弱的欧洲斑鸠 (TD) ( Streptopelia turtur ) 的这个问题。在这里，我们使用了一系列变量的数据，包括微生境和城市工业景观，通过广义线性混合模型来确定导致 TD 发生概率变化的最佳预测因子。结果表明，在解释这种可能性时，到工业综合体的距离和果树覆盖率之间存在显着的相互作用（Adj. R ² = 22%；磷 = 0.001）。当距工业园区的距离超过 8 公里且果树覆盖率超过 30% 时，该概率会高于 0.50。在城市地区覆盖非常弱的情况下，TD 发生的概率也很高。在 Gabès 地区，南部绿洲记录了 TD 发生的最高概率，从而突出了它们在保护这种鹅科动物中的核心作用。为了保护物种，必须 (i) 从地中海沿岸地区卸载 Gabes 工业综合体，(ii) 保护南部绿洲，这些绿洲构成了突尼斯东南部物种的重要繁殖区，(iii) ) 提高距离工业园区最远绿洲的栖息地质量，
