IJ sl JI sl/en AI Merjenje biodiverzitete je pomembno za primerjavo različnih združb, ohranjanje in upravljanje z biotsko raznovrstnostjo ter ugotavljanje vpliva človeka na okolje in za oblikovanje zakonov za ohranjanje okolja. Ker je ugotavljanje končnega števila vrst kot osnovnega merila biodiverzitete praktično nemogoče, so za merjenje biodiverzitete v uporabi različne cenilke, ki pa so podvržene različnim dejavnikom. V nalogi smo se osredotočili na talno favno pajkov na primerljivih pobočjih Sv. Katarine in Sabotina v okolici Solkana, ki se med seboj razlikujeta po podlagi in posledično po vegetaciji. Na vsakem izmed pobočij smo tekom celega leta s talnimi pastmi vzorčili na štirih lokalitetah. Zanimala nas je sestava talne favne, vrstna pestrost, ki smo jo določili na podlagi števila ujetih vrst in šestih cenilk, podobnost v vrstni sestavi med obema pobočjema in dinamika vrst talnih pajkov preko leta. Rezultate uspešnosti vzorčenja za oceno končnega števila vrst preiskovanega območja smo primerjali s sorodnimi študijami izvedenimi v severozahodni Sloveniji. V pasti so se največkrat ujeli pajki, ki živijo na tleh ali tik nad nivojem tal (Lycosidae, Linyphiidae, Tetragnathidae, Salticidae, Amaurobiidae, Nemesidae), med njimi je bilo osem novih vrst za slovensko favno pajkov, kar kaže na njeno slabo raziskanost. Po pričakovanju in z manjšimi odstopanji je vrstno bogatejše naravno okolje Sabotina, kot z antropogenimi vplivi spremenjeno pobočje Sv. Katarine. Vrstno najbolj zastopana sta bila gozd na Sabotinu in gojen travnik na Sv. Katarini, česar zaradi antropogenega vliva na slednjem vsekakor nismo pričakovali. Kljub celoletnem vzorčenju se akumulacijske krivulje pri večini lokalitet niso umirile, kar kaže na nezadostno vzorčenje in zelo verjeten robni vpliv habitatov nad nivojem tal. Primerjava vrstne sestave obeh pobočij je pokazala večjo podobnost sosednjih habitatov istega pobočja kot enakih habitatov sosednjih pobočij, kar kaže na določeno stopnjo vezanosti favne pajkov na podlago in/ali vegetacijo. Letna dinamika talne favne pajkov je pokazala pričakovan izrazit vrh pojavljanja vrst v pozni pomladi in manj izrazit jesenski vrh. Zaradi milih zim dinamika pajkov tudi čez zimo ne zamre povsem. Talne pasti so se izkazale kot primerna in nezahtevna tehnika lova talnih pajkov, za potrebe uspešnega ocenjevanja biodiverzitete, pa je potrebno zagotoviti zadostno število pasti, ki morajo delovati daljše časovno obdobje, ter upoštevati podvrženost metode robnemu učinku.

LA sl AL sl/en AB Measuring biodiversity is important for comparison of different communities, preserving and managing biodiversity and assessing the human effect on the environment and form environmental policy decisions. Determining the final number of species as the basic criteria of biodiversity is practically impossible, therefore there are different estimators in use for measuring biodiversity, which are influenced by different factors. In the research we were focused on ground fauna of the spiders on resembling slopes of hills St. Katarina and Sabotin in the area of Solkan, which differ in ground structure and consequently in vegetation. On each slope we established four researching sites on which we were working with pitfall traps during one year period. We were researching fauna of ground spiders, species diversity, which we determined by number of caught spiders and with different estimators, moreover we determined the resemblance in species composition between both slopes and then we monitored the dynamics of ground spiders throughout the year. Findings of performed sampling for an estimate number of species were compared with similar studies carried out in North West of Slovenia. Spiders caught in the pitfall traps were the ones living on or just above ground level (Lycosidae, Linyphiidae, Tetragnathidae, Salticidae, Amaurobiidae, Nemesidae), among them there were eight new species for Slovenian aranea fauna, which implies the area had been previously poorly researched. As expected, with some deviations though, the natural environment of Sabotin is the richest in species compared with anthropogenically changed St. Katarina. Researching sites with the most species richness/diversity were forest on the hill Sabotin and cultivated meadow on the slope of St. Katarina, which was unexpected because of anthropogenic influence on environment. Despite all year long sampling, accumulation curves of species for most researching sites did not come to the plateau phase, implying that locations were under-sampled and there might be even influence of edge effect of habitats above the ground level. Comparison of both species composition show that neighboring habitats are more alike than comparable habitats of different slopes, which indicates on some level a certain connection between spider fauna and ground structure and/or vegetation. Annual fauna dynamics of ground spider fauna show an expected high peak in late spring and early summer period, less distinctive peak in occurrence of species is found in autumn time. Due to mild winters, the dynamics of ground dwelling spiders is never completely terminated. Pitfall traps are a suitable and undemanding research technique for collecting ground spiders, although for a successful estimation of biodiversity a sufficient number of pitfall traps must be provided, which have to be on research site for sufficiently long period of time while of course taking in consideration the edge effect.

A list of collected spiders is given. Zelotes rinske spec. nov. is described after a single female. Dictyna innocens O. P.-Cambridge, 1872, Leptodrassus femineus (Simon, 1873), Nomisia recepta (Pavesi, 1880), Zelotes criniger Denis, 1937, Pellenes brevis (Simon, 1868), and Salticus propinquus Lucas, 1846 are reported for the first time from mainland Italy. Illustrations are provided of the problematic species Dictyna innocens O. P.-Cambridge, 1872. The poorly- known female of Araeoncus altissimus Simon, 1884 is described and depicted. 141 specimens representing 105 species were DNA barcoded. Key words: Araneae, barcoding, Zelotes rinske INTRODUCTION In the springtime of 2011, two of the authors (PJvH and SIJ) made a trip to Gargano in Italy in order to study spiders. Gargano is a peninsula situated in the province of Apulia (Puglia) and is known as the “spur” of the Italian “boot” (fig. 1). The Gargano promontory is rich in karst structures like caves and dolines. It has a very rich flora and fauna, and is known as one of the richest locations for orchids in Europe with some 56 species, some of which are endemic.

Spain Abstract Ground-dwelling spider assemblages comprise one of the most representative predatory groups to be found in many crops. There is some evidence of the role that ground-dwelling spiders play in controlling certain citrus pests; however, there are almost no studies about the abundance and composition of this predatory group in citrus orchards. A three-year survey conducted using pitfall traps in three citrus orchards in Eastern Spain yielded more than five-thousand ground-dwelling spiders belonging to more than 50 species and 20 families. Wandering families such as Lycosidae, Gnaphosidae and Zodariidae were the most numerous in terms of captures. The generalist predator Pardosa cribata Simon (Araneae: Lycosidae) was the most common species, representing a quarter of all captures, followed by Zodarion cesari Pekar. (Araneae: Zodariidae) and Trachyzelotes fuscipes (Koch) (Araneae: Gnaphosidae). Spiders were active throughout the year with a peak population in summer.

Univerzita Palackého, Přírodovědecká fakulta, Katedra ekologie a životního prostředí, Olomouc, 35 s., v češtině. ABSTRAKT Pavoukovci jsou ekologicky velmi různorodou skupinou, obývají téměř všechny biotopy a často jsou specializovaní na specifický biotop nebo dokonce mikrobiotop. Mezi specifické biotopy patří také kmeny a dutiny stromů, ptačí budky a biotopy ovlivněné hnízděním kormoránů. Ve své dizertační práci jsem se zabýval ekologií společenstev pavouků a sekáčů na těchto specifických biotopech. V první studii jsme se zabývali společenstvy pavouků a sekáčů na kmenech stromů na dvou odlišných biotopech, v lužním lese a v městské zeleni. Zabývali jsme se také jednotlivými společenstvy na kmenech různých druhů stromů a srovnáním tří jednoduchých sběrných metod – upravené padací pasti, lepového a kartonového pásu. Ve druhé studii jsme se zabývali arachnofaunou dutin starých dubů za pomocí dvou sběrných metod (padací past v dutině a nárazová past u otvoru dutiny) na stromech v lužním lese a solitérních stromech na loukách a také srovnáním společenstev v dutinách na živých a odumřelých stromech. Ve třetí studii jsme se zabývali společenstvem pavouků zimujících v ptačích budkách v nížinném lužním lese a vlivem vybraných faktorů prostředí na jejich početnosti. Zabývali jsme se také znovuosídlováním ptačích budek pavouky v průběhu zimy v závislosti na teplotě a vlivem hnízdního materiálu v budce na početnosti a druhové spektrum pavouků.

    Proceedings of the 15th European Co{{oquiul1I of Arachnology. Edited by V. Ruzicka Institute of Entomology, Ceske Budejovice, pp. 35-53 ( I 995) Check list of spiders of the Czech Republic 1 JAN BUCHAR , VLASTIMIL RUZICKN & ANTONIN KURKN iDepartment of Zoology, Faculty of Sciences, Charles University, Vinicna 7, 12844 Praha 2, Czech Republic 'Institute of Entomology, Czech Academy of Sciences, Branisovska 31, 37005 Ceske Budejovice Czech Republic 'National Museum, Vaclavske mlmesti 68,11579 Praha I, Czech Republic Abstract. A list of 773 species (one of them with two subspecies) of spiders from the Czech Republic is presented. 15 species are not included in the list: two species were found during a short period only inside buildings, and the other 13 species have not been found in recent times. INTRODUCTION In 1.1.1994 a new county, the Czech Republic, began. A modem study ofthis territory began in the middle of 19th centuty (K. Prach, A. Nosek). ~st of their species were collected in 20th centUlY (F. Miller, J. Kratochvil and many other arachnologist and biologist). In a recent paper Buchar (1992) showed that 677 species of spiders were found during the period from 1951 to 1985 in the Bohemia (western Paft of the Czech Republic). Before that time 11 and since that time 23 species of spiders were collected there. 62 fulther species are known from Moravia and Silesia (eastern part of the Czech Republic). We do not incorporate into the Czech fauna of spiders two species [Hasarius adansoni (Audouin, 1826) and Heteropoda venatoria (Linne, 1758)], which have made short-term populations in air-conditioned buildings only, and the other 13 species not collected in recent times and absent in all known collections [Alopecosafabrilis (Clerck, 1757), Harpactea saeva Helman, 1879, Cheiracanthium punctorium (ViIlers, 1789), Diplocephalus protuberans (0.

Diversity and community assembly patterns of epigean vs. troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula. International Journal of Speleology, 41(1), 83-94. Tampa, FL (USA). ISSN 0392-6672. http://dx.doi.org/10.5038/1827-806X.41.1.9 Cave-obligate organisms usually have smaller ranges and their assemblages have higher beta diversity than their epigean counterparts. Phylogenetic and functional diversity is usually low in cave communities, leading to taxonomic and functional disharmony, with entire groups missing from the subterranean realm. The objective of this work is to compare range, beta diversity, phylogenetic and functional diversity, taxonomic and functional disharmony of epigean versus troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula. The median extent of occurrence was found to be 33 times higher for epigean than for cave species. Beta diversity was significantly higher for troglobiont assemblages. Cave assemblages present lower phylogenetic and functional diversities than expected by chance. Taxonomic disharmony was noticeable, with many speciose families, namely Gnaphosidae, Salticidae and Lycosidae, absent in caves. Functional disharmony was equally high, with ambush hunters and sensing web weavers being absent in caves. The small range and high beta diversity of troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula is typical of many cave-obligate organisms, caused by the fragmentation and isolation of cave systems and the low vagility and high habitat specialization of species.
