  • Distribution of Spiders in Coastal Grey Dunes

The knowledge of dispersal evolution, motivation, its effect on metapopulation dynamics and species distribution at multiple scales is poorly understood and many questions remain unsolved or require empirical verification. In this thesis we contribute to the knowledge of dispersal, by studying both ecological and evolutionary aspects of spider dispersal in fragmented grey dunes. Studies were performed at the individual, population and assemblage level and indicate that behavioural traits narrowly linked to dispersal, con- siderably show [adaptive] variation in function of habitat quality and geometry. Dispersal also determines spider distribution patterns and metapopulation dynamics. Consequently, our results stress the need to integrate knowledge on behavioural ecology within the study of ecological landscapes. / Promotor: Prof. Dr. Eckhart Kuijken [Ghent University & Institute of Nature Dries Bonte Conservation] Co-promotor: Prf.

  • On the Pardosa Monticola-Species Group from Iran
    On the Pardosa monticola-species group from Iran (Araneae: Lycosidae) Yuri M. Marusik, Francesco Ballarin, Mikhail M. Omelko Abstract. A survey of species belonging to the Pardosa monticola species group from Iran is pre- sented. A new species, P. persica sp. n., from Fars Province is described on the basis of both sex- es. Two species, P. buchari Ovtsharenko, 1979 and P. pontica (Thorell, 1875), are reported from Iran for the first time. All the three species are illustrated. Earlier records of P. agrestis (Westring, 1861), P. agricola (Thorell, 1856), P. monticola (Clerck, 1757) and P. palustris (Linnaeus, 1758), from Iran appear to have been based on misidentifications of P. buchari and P. pontica. Key words. Iran, spider, new species, new record, Pardosa monticola-group. Introduction The spider fauna of Iran is relatively poorly studied with respect to species diversity. Only 244 species of spiders were reported in 2006 (SAHRA 2006). Neighboring Turkey and Azer- baijan are much better studied with over 600 species reported in each of these countries (BAYRAM et al. 2012, OTTO & TRAMP 2011). In adjacent Turkmenistan, the number of known species is about 400 (MIKHAILOV, pers. comm.). The spiders of Iran are also poorly known from a taxonomic aspect. So far, only eight Pardosa species are known to occur in Iran (SAHRA 2006). Of them five species, P. agrestis (Westring, 1861), P. agricola (Thorell, 1856), P. condolens (O.P.-Cambridge, 1885), P. monticola (Clerck, 1757) and P. palustris (Linnaeus, 1758), belong to the monticola-group according to MARUSIK & FRITZÉN (2009). The Pardosa monticola-group is the second largest species-group of the genus with more than 25 species known, mainly with European and Caucasian distribution (MARUSIK & FRITZÉN 2009).

Photo by Kajsa Mellbrand Abstract This licentiate thesis is a part of a PhD project aimed at understanding how inflows of marine nutrients affect structure and function of receptor ecosystems in coastal areas of the Baltic Sea. This thesis examines which coastal arthropod predators utilize marine inflows and how inflows affect the roles of predators in the coastal food web. The marine inflows consist of marine algae (mainly green filamentous algae) and emerging phantom midges (Chironomidae) with marine larval stages. The predators included in the thesis are spiders (the most common and abundant predators in the study system) and predatory insects such as nabids, saldids, carabids and Staphylinids. The thesis includes two manuscripts. To examine to what extent coastal arthropods utilize nutrients of marine origin, analyses of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (13C/12C and 15N/14N) were made of arthropods, plants and algae collected on shores.: In the first, a bottom-up food web is constructed based on carbon sources of coastal arthropods, in the second the possibility of top-down effects in the coastal food web is examined.

By means of a biometrical analysis we could infer the life cycle pattern of this species. Two broods are produced during spring and summer. The offspring of the first brood gets adult in the next spring. A part of the offspring of the second brood also becomes adult in their second year. The other part of that offspring however, only reaches the adult instar in their third year. RESUME. - Pardosa amentata (CLERCK~ 1757) Lycosidae, Araneae) est une es­ pece tres repandue en Belgique. Elle prefere des habitats ouverts et rela­ tivement humides avec une strate de litiere bien developpee. A partir de donnees biometriques~ nous avons reconstitue le cycle vital de cette es­ pece. Deux cocons sont produits au printemps/ete. Les descendants du pre­ mier et une partie des descendants du deuxieme cocon deviennent adultes au printemps suivant~ donc dans leur deuxieme annee. Le restant des juveniles du deuxieme cocon ne devient adulte que dans la troisieme annee. Index entries Pardosa amentata, distribution, habitat choice, life cycle pattern.

Cannibalism was investigated in the wolf spider Pardosa monticola (Clerck) using spiders collected from four populations with varying densities, inhabiting two different coastal dune habitat types. Sampled individuals were randomly paired and immediately tested for their cannibalism propensity. 2. The occurrence of cannibalism was found to be influenced by the size (cephalothorax width) of both the smaller and the larger spider of a pair. Larger size differences enhanced cannibalism. 3. Cannibalism rates were not significantly different in spiders from high-density compared to low-density populations. Cannibalism rates showed however large variability between habitat types, with higher rates in spiders from dune grasslands than from dune slacks. This is suggested to result from differences in prey availability throughout the growing season between both habitat types.

  • Geographical Variation in Wolf Spider Dispersal Behaviour Is Related to Landscape Structure
    ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 2006, 72, 655e662 doi:10.1016/j.anbehav.2005.11.026 Geographical variation in wolf spider dispersal behaviour is related to landscape structure DRIES BONTE*,JEROENVANDENBORRE*,LUCLENS* & JEAN-PIERRE MAELFAIT† *Department of Biology, Terrestrial Ecology Unit, Ghent University, Ghent yInstitute of Nature Conservation, Brussels (Received 9 August 2005; initial acceptance 14 October 2005; final acceptance 24 November 2005; published online 28 July 2006; MS. number: 8651R) Theoretical studies suggest that mechanisms underlying habitat and population structure are important for shaping inter- and intraspecific variation in dispersal behaviour. Empirical evidence, especially in organisms living in spatially structured populations, however, is scarce. We investigated the relation between habitat configuration (patch size, connectivity) and dispersal by studying variation in tiptoe behaviour in the dune wolf spider, Pardosa monticola, under standardized laboratory conditions. Tiptoe behaviour prepares spiderlings for ballooning and can hence be considered as a precursor of aerial dispersal. The proportion of individuals that displayed tiptoe behaviour was highest in offspring from grasslands in a large dune land- scape where habitat was continuously available, intermediate in offspring originating from a fragmented landscape, and lowest in offspring originating from a small and extremely isolated grassland patch. At the level of the fragmented landscape, variation was related to size and connectivity of four subpopulations. Both between and within landscapes, maternal condition had no effect on offspring dispersal. These results indicate that changes in habitat configuration from a large, connected landscape towards a small, frag- mented one may lead to a decrease in dispersal rates, even at small spatial scales. Hence, behavioural traits narrowly linked to dispersal evolve towards less mobile phenotypes in small, isolated habitats, indicating high dispersal costs and low efficacy for gene flow in a spider species restricted to fragmented habitats.

  • Phantom Spiders: Notes on Dubious Spider Species from Europe
    Arachnologische Mitteilungen 50: 65-80 Karlsruhe, November 2015 Phantom spiders: notes on dubious spider species from Europe Rainer Breitling, Martin Lemke, Tobias Bauer, Michael Hohner, Arno Grabolle & Theo Blick doi: 10.5431/aramit5010 Abstract. A surprisingly large number of European spider species have never been reliably rediscovered since their first description many decades ago. Most of these are probably synonymous with other species or unidentifiable, due to insufficient descriptions or missing type material. Here we discuss about 50 of these cases, declare some names as nomina dubia and establish the following new or re-confirmed synonymies: Agelena mengeella Strand, 1942 = Allagelena gracilens (C. L. Koch, 1841) syn. conf.; Anyphaena accentuata obscura (Sundevall, 1831) = Anyphae- na accentuata (Walckenaer, 1802) syn. conf.; Anyphaena accentuata obscura Lebert, 1877 = Anyphaena accentuata (Walckenaer, 1802) syn. nov.; Araneus diadematus stellatus C. L. Koch, 1836 = Araneus diadematus Clerck, 1757 syn. nov.; Araneus diadematus islandicus (Strand, 1906) = Araneus diadematus Clerck, 1757 syn. nov.; Araneus quadratus minimus Simon, 1929 = Araneus quadratus Clerck, 1757 syn. nov.; Araneus quadratus subviridis (Franganillo, 1913) = Araneus quadratus Clerck, 1757 syn. nov.; Centromerus unctus (L.

  • Relevance of Ddradseq Method for Species and Population
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Relevance of ddRADseq method for species and population delimitation of closely related and widely distributed wolf spiders (Araneae, Lycosidae) Vladislav Ivanov1*, Yuri Marusik2,3, Julien Pétillon4 & Marko Mutanen1 Although species delimitation is often controversial, emerging DNA-based and classical morphology- based methods are rarely compared using large-scale samplings, even less in the case of widely distributed species that have distant, allopatric populations. In the current study, we examined species boundaries within two wolf spider species of the genus Pardosa (Araneae, Lycosidae), P. riparia and P. palustris. Wolf spiders constitute an excellent model for testing the relevance of traditional vs. modern methods in species and population delimitation because several closely related species are distributed over cross-continental geographic ranges. Allopatric populations of the two Pardosa species were sampled across Europe to Far East Russia (latitudinal range > 150°) and several dozen individuals were studied using morphological characters (morphometry of three measures for both sexes, plus fve in males only and two in females only), DNA barcoding (COI sequencing) and double- digest restriction site associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq). The results obtained allow for changing the taxonomic status of two Far East Russian populations to subspecies and ddRADseq proved to be a powerful tool for taxonomic research despite scarce sampling and inherent subjectivity of species delimitation in allopatry. Overall, this study pleads for both multi-criteria and more population-based studies in taxonomy. Species delimitation is ofen challenging and controversial. Species is a central taxonomic category in vari- ous felds of biological research, yet the reality of species is still debated1–3.
