  • Pseudoscorpions (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) from Leaf Litter of the Slovak Karst National Park
    Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 61: 77-83 Karlsruhe, April 2021 Pseudoscorpions (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) from leaf litter of the Slovak Karst National Park Alexandra Jászayová & Tomáš Jászay doi: 10.30963/aramit6113 Abstract. A total of 667 specimens of pseudoscorpions, belonging to 15 species and four families were collected during 2014. Samples were taken from leaf litter at five localities in the Western Carpathians in the Slovak Karst National Park, Slovakia. The most abundant fa- milies were Neobisiidae (381 specimens) and Chthoniidae (275 specimens). Furthermore ten chernetid specimens and a single cheliferid deutonymph were recorded. Four of the 15 pseudoscorpion species were recorded in the Slovak Karst for the first time. Keywords: Carpathians, distribution, faunistics, Slovakia Zusammenfassung. Pseudoskorpione (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) aus Laubstreu im Nationalpark Slowakischer Karst. Im Jahr 2014 wurden insgesamt 667 Pseudoskorpione aus 15 Arten und vier Familien gesammelt. Die Proben wurden in fünf verschiedenen Gebieten im Nationalpark Slowakischer Karst (Westkarpaten, Slowakei) genommen. Am häufigsten waren die Familien Neobisiidae (381 Exemplare) und Chthoniidae (275 Exemplare) vertreten. Weiterhin wurden zehn Exemplaren der Chernetidae und nur eine Deutonym- phe einer Cheliferidae erfasst. Vier der 15 Pseudoskorpionarten wurden erstmals im slowakischen Karst nachgewiesen.

  • Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).

  • Pseudoscorpions
    Colorado Arachnids of Interest Pseudoscorpions Class: Arachnida Order: Pseudoscorpiones Identification and Descriptive Features: Pseudoscorpions are tiny arachnids (typically Figure 1. Pseudoscorpion ranging from 1.25-4.5 mm body length). They possess pedipalps modified into pincers in a manner similar to scorpions. However, they differ in other features, notably possessing a broad, flattened abdomen that lacks the well developed tail and stinger. Approximately 200 species of pseudoscorpions have been described from North America. A 1961 review of pseudoscorpions within Colorado listed 30 species; however, these arachnids have only rarely been subjects for collection so their occurrence and distribution within Colorado is poorly known. The pseudoscorpion most often found within buildings is Chelifer cancroides, sometimes known as the “house pseudoscorpion”. It is mahogany brown color with a body length of about 3-4 mm and long pedipalps that may spread 8 mm across. Distribution in Colorado: Almost all pseudoscorpions that occur in Colorado are associated with forested areas although a few prairie species do occur. Conifer forests, including scrublands of pinyon and juniper, support several species. Others occur in association with Gambel oak and aspen. The house pseudoscorpion has an unusually broad distribution and is found associated with human dwellings over wide areas of North America and Europe. Life History and Habits: Pseudoscorpions usually occur under rocks, among fallen leaves or needles, under bark or similar moist sites where they hunt mites, springtails and small insects. Typically they wait in ambush within small crevices and grab passing prey with the pincers. In most species, connected to the movable “finger” of the pincer is a venom gland.

Die 50 Standorte wurden einmal im Frühjahr und einmal im Herbst mit vier unterschiedlichen Methoden beprobt. Dabei wurden sechs Arten aus drei Familien mit 307 Individuen gefunden. Der Vergleich der Pseudoskorpion-Fauna in den Kernzonen bzw. Wirtschaftswäldern zeigt kei- ne statistischen Unterschiede betreffend Artenzahl und Individuenzahl. Bei länge- rer Außernutzungstellung der Kernzonenflächen kann aber durchaus mit positiven Auswirkungen auf die Pseudoskorpion-Biozönosen gerechnet werden, alleine durch die gesteigerte Verfügbarkeit von Totholz. Abstract The pseudoscorpions of selected forest areas within the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald From April 2012 to May 2013 pseudoscorpions were investigated in 33 forests in core areas (KZO) and in 17 managed forests (WW) of the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald (BPWW). These 50 monitoring plots were examined once in spring and once in autumn with four different methods. In total 307 individuals out of six different pseudoscorpion species of three families were recorded. The comparison of the fauna of the core areas

PSEUDOSCORPIONS OF THE FAMILY CHERNETIDAE NEWLY IDENTIFIED FROM OREGON (PSEUDOSCORPIONIDA, CHELIFEROIDEA ) Ellen M. Benedict and David R. Malcolm College of Arts and Science s Pacific University Forest Grove, Oregon 9711 6 ABSTRAC T The diagnosis of the genus Illinichernes Hoff is revised and a new species, Illinichernes stephensi, is described from tree hollows in western Oregon ; the first Oregon state records are reported fo r Acuminochernes crassopalpus (Hoff), Dendrochernes crassus Hoff, Dinocheirus sicarius Chamberlin , D. validus (Banks), Hesperochernes utahensis Hoff and Clawson, and Lustrochernes grossus (Banks) , and Lamprochernes sp. These are the first published records from Oregon for the chernetid family. INTRODUCTION Chernetid pseudoscorpions have not been reported previously from Oregon eve n though approximately 80 species of the family are known from other parts of the Unite d States. A recent study of Oregon pseudoscorpions (Benedict 1978), based on newl y collected specimens and on specimens accumulated in various older collections, indicate s that chernetids are fairly common in Oregon habitats . Some of the specimens were readily identifiable as: Acuminochernes crassopalpus (Hoff), Dendrochernes crassus Hoff, Dinocheirus sicarius Chamberlin, D. validus (Banks), Hesperochernes utahensis Hoff and Clawson, and Lustrochernes grossus (Banks). Follow- ing examination of the type series of Illinichernes distinctus Hoff, the type species of the genus, Oregon specimens of Illinichernes were determined to represent a new species which is described in this paper . However, other specimens were more difficult to identify because many of the genera and species of this family are poorly defined .

The bibliographical data are checked as far as possible. Papers not seen in the original are marked with -o-. To facilitate the search for papers with special contents, key words in each title are printed in bold face. Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Bibliographie listet mehr als 1400 Arbeiten aus den Jahren 1890—1979, die sich mit der Arachniden-Ordnung Pseudoscorpionidea (Chelonethida) befassen, auf. Die bibliographischen Daten wurden so weit wie möglich überprüft. Nicht im Original einge- sehene Arbeiten sind mit -o- markiert. Um die Suche nach Arbeiten bestimmter Thematik zu erleichtern, erscheinen Schlüsselwörter jeden Titels halbfett gedruckt. Inhalt 1. Einleitung 1 2. Dank 2 3.

Einleitung Die letzte weltweite systematische Bearbeitung der Pseudoscorpionidea (Chelo- nethida) erfolgte 1932 durch Beier in der Serie „Das Tierreich". Dort wird zuletzt eine umfassendere, jedoch keineswegs vollständige Übersicht über die erschienene Literatur gegeben. Eine weitere Literatursammlung in diesem Rahmen existiert nicht. In der Folgezeit erschien eine Fülle meist kleinerer und weit verstreuter Arbeiten über diese Arachniden-Ordnung, so daß es zur Wahrung der Übersicht nötig ist, eine möglichst vollständige Bibliographie vorzulegen.
