  abstract = {{R}odents ({R}odentia) are the most abundant and diverse order of mammals, present in all habitats, including urban areas. {T}he traffic linked to globalisation has favoured their involvement in biological invasions that have an impact on local biodiversity, the economy and human health. {I}n {F}ranceville, {G}abon, little is known about the rodent community. {W}e therefore studied the composition and distribution of rodents along a gradient highlighting the heterogeneity of the city's landscape. {T}he three habitat types studied showed no difference in small mammal abundance, while the diversity index was higher in the vegetated habitat ({SDI} = 0.73) compared to the outdoor ({SDI} = 0.71) and indoor ({SDI} = 0.45) habitats. {O}ur work shows the importance of vegetal remnants in the city for the maintenance of native species. {I}t also highlights the impact of introduced species on small mammal assemblages and the need for management to reduce the factors of their proliferation.},
