ARANEOL., 6 (2011) PREFACE / INTRODUCTION The evolution has an excessive preference for spiders (more than 40 000 described and more than 100 000 species to be expected). With reference to J. B. S. HALDANE regarding beetles; adapted to spiders Science is like sex. Sure, it may give some results, but that’s not why we do it. RICHARD FEYNMAN Is it not a shame that numerous excellent taxonomic researchers have to prostitute themselves by publishing in periodicals which are dominated by mainstream reviewers which suppress findings outside the mainstream? JW During the last twenty years or so I worked mainly on fossil spiders, and I waited for the time to come for finishing certain investigations on extant spiders. Most of these papers – for example on various spiders of Southern Europe and the Canary Islands, on the families Clubionidae and Gnaphosidae (*), on the Theridion melanurum species-group (Theridiidae) and on the genus Ariadna (Segestriidae) – are published in this volume 6 of the periodicle “Beitraege zur Araneologie” (BEITR. ARANEOL.). 20 papers by the editor (JW) and one paper shared with C. DEELEMAN-REINHOLD on extant and fossil spiders are included in this volume, other papers will probably be published in a further volume of this periodical. ----------------------------------------- (*) Descriptions of taxa of this family (and few others) are found in different papers in this volume in which they fit well, e. g. descriptions on gnaphosid taxa in the revision of the European genera of this family, within a paper on spiders from Southern Europe and on spiders from the Canary Islands as well. 6 Material: Most spiders are deposited in the collection of J. WUNDERLICH (CJW), some in the Senckenberg-Museum Frankfurt a. M. (SMF). Acknowledgements (see also the different papers, mainly on Southern European spi- ders (Ariadna)): I thank ALEX BEIGEL very much for some technical help like taking most of the photos with the help of a digital camera, THEO BLICK for sending numer- ous copies of papers to me, PETER JÄGER and JULIA ALTMANN (SMF) for the loan of material, and RUTHILD SCHÖNEICH for improving and correcting the English of several parts of the manuscripts. Thousands of fossil spiders were selected for my study by dealers. Techniques: I used a microscope/binocular from the firm LEITZ; in some cases I used a Minolta camera (slides), a digital camera was used for most photos applying a special technique – stacking (in German “Stacken” or “Schichtaufnahmen”) – which puts all layers in focus. For the clearing of vulvae of extant females I used pink oil, for the clear- ing of some amber pieces I used Bentylium benzoicum (C14H12O2) which may cause some problems. Methods of the investigations (see also WUNDERLICH (2008: 22-23)): General remarks on the method used by me to investigate relationships and construct possible cladograms. While searching for monophyletic groups/taxa and sister groups in my opinion it is most important to ask essential questions, probably best in the fol- lowing sequence: (1) Which characters have newly evolved (apomorphically) in the taxon in ques- tion which may be only a hypothetical monophyletic taxon at the beginning? See no.(6). (2) Which (morphological, ethological, ecological, biogeographical) characters are most special/peculiar/rare in the taxon in question? (The lower the number of char- acters the higher is the relative importance of special characters; this is not a matter of quantity! A quantitative analysis may cause quantitative nonsense). (3) (Or later) Which may be the sister taxon, which shows common derived characters (synapomorphies)? Which one is a suitable outgroup for comparison? (4) Which characters may have evolved convergently (analogous – or following the American newspeak – “homoplastic similarities”) characters, and which may be reversals? (*). Do “tendencies”/dispositions for certain characters exist? (*). (5) Are certain special rare/unusual characters linked with each other (existing in the same hypothetical monophyletic taxon)? (A very important matter in my opinion if the connection of certain – e.g. ecological and ethological – characters are consid- ered, too! See the paragraph on “tendencies” below). (6) Do fossils and/or gaps in former faunas exist which may provide conclusions on the phylogeny – e.g., apomorphic/plesiomorphic characters – rsp. the relationships of higher taxa? May fossils give hints at the origin

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e69924. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e69924 Abstract Background Long-term monitoring of invertebrate communities is needed to understand the impact of key biodiversity erosion drivers (e.g. habitat fragmentation and degradation, invasive species, pollution, climatic changes) on the biodiversity of these high diverse organisms. The data we present are part of the long-term project SLAM (Long Term Ecological Study of the Impacts of Climate Change in the natural forest of Azores) that started in 2012, aiming to understand the impact of biodiversity erosion drivers on Azorean native forests (Azores, Macaronesia, Portugal). In this contribution, the design of the project, its objectives and the first available data for the spider fauna of two Islands (Pico and Terceira) are described.

Gnaphosidae We studied the impact of sheep and goat grazing on 50 assemblages of ground spiders (Araneae: Gnaphosidae) in Crete phryganic, maquis and forest habitats from zero to 2000 m elevation on Crete, Greece using pitfall traps for one Maquis year at each sampling site. In total, 58 gnaphosid species and 16,592 individuals were collected. Cretan endemic Livestock grazing Gnaphosidae were negatively affected by intensive grazing and, contrary to findings on other taxa studied on the Habitat degradation island, they were sparse and rare throughout the study area. The species composition of gnaphosid assemblages was primarily determined by elevation. Trachyzelotes lyonneti, Urozelotes rusticus, Zelotes scrutatus, Anagraphis pallens and Berinda amabilis proved to be significant indicators of overgrazing. The vast majority of spiders belonging to synanthropic and nationally red-listed species were found in overgrazed sites.

    Taxonomic Notes on Agroeca (Araneae, Liocranidae)

    Arachnol. Mitt. 37: 27-30 Nürnberg, Juli 2009 Taxonomic notes on Agroeca (Araneae, Liocranidae) Torbjörn Kronestedt Abstract: Agroeca gaunitzi Tullgren, 1952 is stated here to be a junior synonym of A. proxima (O. P.-Cambridge, 1871). The illustrations of the male palp attributed to A. proxima in papers by Tullgren of 1946 and 1952 in fact show A. inopina O. P.-Cambridge, 1886. The record of A. inopina from Finland, quite outside its known distribution range, was based on a misidentification. It is argued that the type species of the genus Agroeca Westring, 1861 should be A. proxima (O. P.-Cambridge, 1871), not A. brunnea (Blackwall, 1833) as currently applied. Protagroeca Lohmander, 1944 is placed as an objective synonym of Agroeca Westring, 1861. Key words: Agroeca gaunitzi, synonyms, type species On the identity of Agroeca gaunitzi Tullgren, 1952 Because Agroeca gaunitzi still appears as a valid Agroeca gaunitzi was described based on a single nominal species (HELSDINGEN 2009, PLATNICK male from the southern part of Swedish Lapland 2009), a re-study of the holotype was undertaken in (TULLGREN 1952).

As a result of this it has become more and more difficult to consider all relevant information in preparation for further studies, especially faunistic projects. To improve the situation the East-Ger- man Spider Study Group (Arbeitskreis Arachnologie) has published bibliographies since 1982. Three parts have come out till now. They exclusively contain papers with faunistic dates to lay a foundation for a regional fauna. This bibliography will be the last one of the series. All four parts contain 637 references.

During a scientific internship in a mountainous area near Agadir, several caves were prospected; the sampled material includ- ed several spider species. Morphological and taxonomical analysis revealed two new species to science: an anophthalmic troglobiont species, Agraecina agadirensis spec. nov. (description based on three females) and a new member of the genus Steatoda in the Mediter- ranean region, Steatoda ifricola spec. nov. (description based on both sexes).

It is the southernmost edge of the Strážovské vrchy Mountains (Mts) (48°55ʹ46ʹʹN; 18°26ʹ05ʹʹE), separated from the central massif by the river ow Nitrica. is area is considerably inuenced by human activity: In the past, it had massive deforestation and agricultural use (mainly as pasture), recently, it is dominated by mining activities (several quarries). e whole area is out of the territo- rial protection, with the exception of the little Nature reserve Veľký vrch, surrounded by two quarries, and the le one is more or less abandoned. In the past, this area was used mainly for grazing, but this is currently very limited. Our research site is an aban- doned pasture; therefore, ecological succession is carried out intensively here. Forgot- ten aer-utility areas (abandoned quarries, pastures, industrial sites) are usually con- sidered to be ‘sterile’ and unattractive for zoological research, but this may not always correspond to reality. Even in our research site, we have carried out several rare and surprising ndings. We would like to present the results of our research in this paper. It is sad, but a large amount of abandoned pastures is scattered throughout Slova- kia.
