We consider a vector bundle map F : E₁ → E₂ between Lie algebroids E₁ and E₂ over arbitrary bases M₁ and M₂. We associate to it different notions of curvature which we call A-curvature, Q-curvature, P-curvature, and S-curvature using the different characterizations of Lie algebroid structure, namely Lie algebroid, Q-manifold, Poisson and Schouten structures. We will see that these curvatures generalize the ordinary notion of curvature defined for a vector bundle, and we will prove that these curvatures are equivalent, in the sense that F is a morphism of Lie algebroids if and only if one (and hence all) of these curvatures is null. In particular we get as a corollary that F is a morphism of Lie algebroids if and only if the corresponding map is a morphism of Poisson manifolds (resp. Schouten supermanifolds).
