Habitat in study area
(Fig.
2B, C
).
This species has been found in peripheral sites and at one inner massif site, in lentic and slowly flowing lotic habitats, mainly in open areas. The bottom comprised various amounts of sand and clay/mud and moderate to abundant plant debris. The water was clear to moderately turbid. The vegetation was variously developed. This eurytopic species is tolerant to anthropogenic perturbation.
