Im Jahr 2008 konnte Harald Legge (Verein für Natur- und Vogelschutz im Hochsauerland, VNV) erstmals und noch dazu regelmäßig Vorkommen der Heidelerche (Lullula arborea) in Weihnachtsbaumkulturen des Hoch- sauerlandkreises (NRW) nachweisen (Legge 2009). Dies war eine kleine Sensation, denn bis dahin galten Weihnachtsbaumkulturen eher als lebensfeindliche Biotope mit geringer Artenvielfalt. Die Arbeit inspirierte weitere Mitarbeiter des VNV – hierunter insbesondere Wolfgang Schulte – zur intensiven Suche nach der Art in Weihnachtsbaumkulturen des Hochsauerlandes (Schulte 2017). Infolgedessen konnte er die rasante Ausbreitung der Heidelerche in den Kulturen dokumentier- ten; inzwischen geht er von einem Bestand von 530 bis 600 Brutpaaren aus (Fartmann et al. 2017, Schulte 2017, Kap. 5.3.1). Diese interessanten Beobachtungen veranlassten den Erstautor dieses Berichts eine Masterarbeit zu den Habitaten von Heidelerche und Baumpieper (Anthus trivialis) in Weihnachtsbaumkulturen und Bergheiden zu vergeben (Höppner 2014). Aufgrund der weiterhin großen Kenntnisdefizite zur Biodiversität und zum nachhaltigen Ma- nagement von Weihnachtsbaumkulturen einerseits und andererseits der Großflächigkeit und ho- hen wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung im Sauerland, entstand schließlich die Idee ein größeres Projekt bei der Deutschen Bundestiftung Umwelt (DBU, Osnabrück) zu beantragen. Als Kooperations- partner konnten die Landwirtschaftskammer Nordrhein-Westfalen (Beratung Weihnachtsbaum- anbau, Meschede; Herr Kristof Köhler) und die Biologische Station des Hochsauerlandkreises (Brilon; Herr Werner Schubert) gewonnen werden. Herr Köhler vermittelte die Kontakte zu Weihnachtsbaumproduzenten vor Ort. Von diesen warben insbesondere die Herren Wilhelm Becker-Gödde, Eberhard Hennecke, Georg Feldmann- Schütte und Meinolf Mütherich intensiv für die Akzeptanz des Projektes und die Bereitstellung der Flächen für die Studien durch die Eigentümer bzw. Nutzer. Das Aufstellen von Bodenfallen zum Fang von Laufkäfern und Spinnen wurde durch die Untere Naturschutzbehörde im Hoch- sauerlandkreis genehmigt. Bestimmungskritische Laufkäfer wurden von Herrn Peter Schäfer (Telgte) determiniert. Die Analyse der Bodenproben übernahm teilweise Frau Antje Möhlmeyer (Universität Osnabrück). Die Herren Werner Schubert und Dr. Axel Schulte von der Biologi- schen Station stellten regionale Literatur zur Verfügung. Informationen zu den rechtlichen Grundlagen und zur Bewirtschaftungsweise verdanken wir den Herren Dr. Georg Kaiser (Len- nestadt) und Kristof Köhler. Allen genannten Personen und allen, die uns Zugang zu ihren Kul- turen gewährt haben gilt unser herzlicher Dank. Ein solch umfassendes Projekt wäre ohne die Förderung durch die Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU-AZ 33141/01-33/0) sowie die engagierte und unkomplizierte Fachbetreuung durch Herrn Dr. Reinhard Stock nicht möglich gewesen. Hierfür möchten wir uns besonders bedanken. |1 Endbericht | DBU-Projekt: Biodiversität von Weihnachtsbaumkulturen | Universität Osnabrück Zusammenfassung Der systematische Anbau von Weihnachtsbäumen begann in den 1980er-Jahren und ist damit ein relativ junges Phänomen. Seit dieser Zeit hat europaweit eine rasante Zunahme der Anbaufläche stattgefunden. Mit aktuell 18.000 ha stellt das Sauerland das bedeutendste Produktionsgebiet von Weihnachtsbäumen in Europa dar. Weihnachtsbaumkulturen (WBK) sind im Vergleich zu Wald Intensivkulturen und zeichnen sich durch den regelmäßigen Einsatz von Dünger und Herbiziden aus. Wie aufgrund der Neuartigkeit des Ökosystems WBK zu erwarten ist, sind die Kenntnisse zur Biodiversität rudimentär. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Habitattypen des Offenlandes feh- len folglich auch wirksame Konzepte für WBK, um die rezente Erosion der Artenvielfalt zu stoppen. Das Projekt verfolgte daher zwei Hauptziele: 1. eine umfassende Biodiversitätsanalyse und 2. die Erarbeitung von Handlungsempfehlungen für den nachhaltigen Anbau von Weih- nachtsbäumen. Basierend auf unseren Studien sind konventionell bewirtschaftete WBK im Hochsauerland durch einen gewissen Anteil

  • Spiders (Araneae) of Stony Debris in North Bohemia
    Arachnol. Mitt. 12:46-56 Basel, Dezember 1996 Spiders (Araneae) of stony debris in North Bohemia o v v Vlastimil RUZICKA & Jaromfr HAJER Abstract: The arachnofauna was studied at five stony debris sites in northern Bohemia. In Central Europe, the northern and montane species inhabiting cold places live not only on mountain tops and peat bogs but also on the lower edges of boulder debris, where air streaming through the system of inner compartments gives rise to an exceedingly cold microclimate. At such cold sites, spiders can live either on bare stones (Bathyphantes simillimus, Wubanoides ura/ensis), or in the rich layers of moss and lichen (Dip/oeentria bidentata). Kratoehviliella bieapitata exhibits a diplostenoecious occurrence in stony debris and on tree bark. Latithorax faustus and Theonoe minutissima display diplostenoecious occurrence in stony debris and on peat bogs. The occurrence of the species Seotina eelans in the Czech Republic was documented for the first time. Key words: Spiders, stony debris, microclimate, geographic distribution. INTRODUCTION Stony debris constitute, in Central Europe, island ecosystems which have remained virtually intact over the entire Holocene. Due to the unfeasibility of utilization, stony debris areas are among the few ecosystems that have only minimally been affected by man. In bulky accumulations, air can flow through the system of internal spaces. In this way, cold air can accumulate in the lower part of the tal us, so that ice can form and persist there until late spring. This phenomenon, well known from the Alp region (FURRER 1966), occurs widely in North Bohemia (KUBAT 1971). Owing to the specific substrate and microclimate, stony debris areas are inhabited by specific plant (SADLO & KOLBEK 1994) and animal communities, contributing thus o v v significantly to the biodiversity of the landscape (RUZICKA 1993a).

Biodiversity Data Journal 1: e977. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.1.e977 Abstract A total of 294 species from 31 families have been found in Galichitsa Mt. Of them, 85 species are new to the mountain, while 20 are also new to the fauna of FYR of Macedonia. According to their current distribution the established species can be assigned to 17 zoogeographical categories, grouped into 5 complexes (Cosmopolitan, Holarctic, European, Mediterranean, Endemics of Balkans). Dominant are Holarctic species (66.0%) followed by European (16.5%) and Mediterranean (9.3%). The endemics (6.2%) and Southeast European species (1.7%) emphasize the local character of this fauna, but its low percentage suggests an important process of colonization.

Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) from Forest Ecosystems of Třesín National Nature Monument (Litovelské Pomoraví, Czech Republic) with Suggestions to Conservation Management of the Locality. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 63(3): 751–767. This paper presents faunistic records of spiders in the forest ecosystems of the Třesín National Nature Monument. Spiders were surveyed from 29 April 2013 to 25 October 2013. A total of 1012 individual spiders were collected from eight sites by pitfall traps, individual collection, sweeping grasses and herb vegetation, beating shrubs and trees, and shi ing leaf litters. Spiders were identifi ed as 146 species from 94 genera and 27 families. The families Linyphiidae, Lycosidae, Gnaphosidae, and Thomisidae exhibited high species diversity. Three species listed on the Red List of Threatened Species in the Czech Republic were recorded: Dysdera moravica (Řezáč, Gasparo, Král & Heneberg, 2014), Megalepthyphantes pseudocollinus (Saaristo, 1997), and Nusoncus nasutus (Schenkel, 1925). The fi nding of N. nasutus is among the fi rst reports of this spider in the Moravia region. Several fi ndings represent the northernmost occurrences of rare thermophilous spiders in Moravia and even the Czech Republic. The great richness of araneofauna and the occurrence of rare and poorly known spider species confi rm the high biotic value of Třesín within the agriculturally intensifi ed landscape of Moravia.

Araneae, Carabidae, ground-dwelling arthropods, capture efficiency, deciduous forest, methodology Abstract. Pitfall trapping is an approved self-sampling method for capturing epigeal arthropods for ecological and faunistic studies. Capture efficiency of pitfall traps may be affected by external factors and the design of the trap. Pitfall traps set in forests are usually protected with covers or wire grids, but the effect of these constructions on sampling efficiency as well as their practicability and necessity have so far received little attention. During the present study pitfall traps of four different designs (covers, wire grids, litter exclosure, open) were tested in terms of their efficiency in capturing ground-dwelling arthropods (Acari, Araneae, Carabidae, Formi- cidae, Isopoda, Myriapoda, Opiliones) in order to gain a better understanding of the applicability and reliability of pitfall traps in for- ests. The study was carried out in an oak-beech forest in Northwest Germany using a total of 40 pitfall traps (ten replicates per trap design).

Their high water table, acidity and character- istic climate determine their specialized fora and fauna with numerous rare species. Peat bogs are threatened by soil erosion and nutrient infltration due to forestry management or grazing. Several small, natural peat bogs exist in the Carpathians, mainly covered with birch and pine forests. Here we assessed the efect of geological location, peat bog size and tree species on the spider fauna. We collected spiders with pitfall traps in eight peat bogs in Eastern Transylvania. We identifed several species of high nature conservation value, regarded to be rare in the Central-European fauna. We found higher species rich- ness, abundance and diversity in birch forests than in pine forests. The open canopy of birch forests may allow open habitat specialists to occur in high densities in these forests. Species composition was afected by geological location, indicating that the regional fauna of peat bogs in diferent mountain ranges are isolated. However, we found no signifcant efect of habitat area on spider assemblages, the valuable tyrphophilic spider fauna was present even in the smallest peat bog.

We analysed an amount of 1124 references, resulting in a list of 1670 species and subspecies, grouped in 434 genera and 53 families. Information on spider biodiversity in Italy has increased rapidly in the last years, going from 404 species at the end of XIX century, to 1400 in the 1990s, to the current 1670. However, the knowledge on the distribution of the Italian species is far from being complete and it seems likely that there are still new species to be found or described. The Italian spider fauna is character- ized by the presence of a relevant number of endemic species (342). Concerning families, Linyphiidae show the highest number of spe- cies (477) and the highest number of endemics (114).
