Higher-Level Phylogenetics of Linyphiid Spiders (Araneae, Linyphiidae) Based on Morphological and Molecular Evidence
Cladistics Cladistics 25 (2009) 231–262 10.1111/j.1096-0031.2009.00249.x Higher-level phylogenetics of linyphiid spiders (Araneae, Linyphiidae) based on morphological and molecular evidence Miquel A. Arnedoa,*, Gustavo Hormigab and Nikolaj Scharff c aDepartament Biologia Animal, Universitat de Barcelona, Av. Diagonal 645, E-8028 Barcelona, Spain; bDepartment of Biological Sciences, The George Washington University, Washington, DC 20052, USA; cDepartment of Entomology, Natural History Museum of Denmark, Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark Accepted 19 November 2008 Abstract This study infers the higher-level cladistic relationships of linyphiid spiders from five genes (mitochondrial CO1, 16S; nuclear 28S, 18S, histone H3) and morphological data. In total, the character matrix includes 47 taxa: 35 linyphiids representing the currently used subfamilies of Linyphiidae (Stemonyphantinae, Mynogleninae, Erigoninae, and Linyphiinae (Micronetini plus Linyphiini)) and 12 outgroup species representing nine araneoid families (Pimoidae, Theridiidae, Nesticidae, Synotaxidae, Cyatholipidae, Mysmenidae, Theridiosomatidae, Tetragnathidae, and Araneidae). The morphological characters include those used in recent studies of linyphiid phylogenetics, covering both genitalic and somatic morphology. Different sequence alignments and analytical methods produce different cladistic hypotheses. Lack of congruence among different analyses is, in part, due to the shifting placement of Labulla, Pityohyphantes, -
Maro Sublestus Falconer, 1915 (Araneae, Linyphiidae) - a Species New to the Fauna of Poland
F r a g m e n t a F a u n i s t i c a 47 (2): 139-142, 2004 PL ISSN 0015-9301 O MUSEUM AND INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY PAS Maro sublestus Falconer, 1915 (Araneae, Linyphiidae) - a species new to the fauna of Poland P a w e ł S z y m k o w ia k Department o f Animal Taxonomy, Institute of Environmental Biology, A. Mickiewicz University, Szamarzewskiego 91 A, 60-569 Poznań, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A rare spider species, Maro sublestus Falconer, 1915 (Linyphiidae) is reported from Poland for the first time. It was found in the Karkonosze National Park, in a wet habitat. Some taxonomic comments are included in the paper. Key words: Maro sublestus, new record, taxonomy, Poland Introduction The taxonomic position of the genus Maro has not been established for a long time. Saaristo (1971) in a review paper on the genus M aro concluded that this genus is closely related to the genera Agyneta, Microneta and Centromerus in conformity with the opinions expressed by Parker & Duffey (1963). Moreover, the genera Maro and Oreonetides are regarded as relicts of mixed Arcto-Tertiary forests (Eskov 1991). At present 12 species of the genus M aro are known. Their occurrence is limited to the northern hemisphere. The majority of species (10) occur in Europe and Asia, while M aro ampins Dondale et Buckle, 2001 and Maro nearcticus Dondale et Buckle, 2001 occur in the New World, in the USA and Canada. The species known from Europe include: Maro lehtineni Saaristo, 1971, Maro lepidus Casemir, 1961, Maro minutus O.P.- Cambridge, 1906 and M aro sublestus Falconer, 1915. -

This is a supplement to the special issue of Toxicon. It contains the abstracts that were submitted too late for inclusion there, as well as a complete program agenda of the meeting, as well as other materials. At the time of this printing, we had 344 scientific abstracts scheduled for presentation and over 300 attendees from all over the planet. The World Congress of IST is held every three years, most recently in Recife, Brazil in March 2009. The IST World Congress is the primary international meeting bringing together scientists and physicians from around the world to discuss the most recent advances in the structure and function of natural toxins occurring in venomous animals, plants, or microorganisms, in medical, public health, and policy approaches to prevent or treat envenomations, and in the development of new toxin-derived drugs. -

ZooKeys 842: 85–112. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.842.32970 Abstract A previously unreported radiation of myrmarachnine jumping spiders from New Guinea is described, which, although having few known species, is remarkably diverse in body forms. This clade is the new subtribe Levieina, represented by seven new species in three new genera. Within Leviea gen. n. are three new species, L. herberti sp. n., L. lornae sp. n., and L. francesae sp. n., all of which are unusual among the myrmarachnines in appearing as typical salticids, not antlike. Papuamyr gen. n. superficially resembles Ligonipes Karsch, 1878 or Rhombonotus L. Koch, 1879 as a compact antlike spider, but lacks their laterally- compressed palp and bears an ectal spur on the paturon of the chelicera. -

A Knowledge-Based System for Generating Interaction Networks from Ecological Data

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Semantic heterogeneity hampers efforts to find, integrate, analyse and interpret ecological data. An application case-study is described, in which the objective was to automate the integration and interpretation of heterogeneous, flower-visiting ecological data. A prototype knowledge-based system is described and evaluated. The system‘s semantic architecture uses a combination of ontologies and a Bayesian network to represent and reason with qualitative, uncertain ecological data and knowledge. This allows the high-level context and causal knowledge of behavioural interactions between individual plants and insects, and consequent ecological interactions between plant and insect populations, to be discovered. The system automatically assembles ecological interactions into a semantically consistent interaction network (a new design of a useful, traditional domain model). We discuss the contribution of probabilistic reasoning to knowledge discovery, the limitations of knowledge discovery in the application case-study, the impact of the work and the potential to apply the system design to the study of ecological interaction networks in general. -

Its distribution and characteristic habitats are discussed and a few remarks on the other two members of the genus M aro (M. minutus, M. sublestus) in Poland are also given. Keywords: Araneae, Linyphiidae, Maro lepidus, Poland Introduction Maro O.P.-Cambridge, 1906 (revised by Saaristo 1971) is a genus comprising 16 Holarctic species (2 Nearctic and 14 Palaearctic - Platnick 2012, Tanasevitch2012). Four of them have been reported in central Europe up to now, namely Maro lehtineni Saaristo, 1971, M. lepidus Casemir, 1961, M. minutus O.P.-Cambridge, 1906 and M. sublestus Falconer, 1915 (Fauna Europaea 2012). However, only the two latter species have been noted from Poland so far (Kupryjanowicz 2008). Maro lepidus was found during a study of spider assemblages inhabiting mountainous mires in south-western Poland, in Karkonosze (Giant Mountains, ger. Riesengebirge), Izera Mountains and Góry Stołowe (Table Mountains, ger. Heuscheuergebirge). It is the first record of this spider species for this country. -
