Untangling Taxonomy: a DNA Barcode Reference Library for Canadian Spiders
Molecular Ecology Resources (2016) 16, 325–341 doi: 10.1111/1755-0998.12444 Untangling taxonomy: a DNA barcode reference library for Canadian spiders GERGIN A. BLAGOEV, JEREMY R. DEWAARD, SUJEEVAN RATNASINGHAM, STEPHANIE L. DEWAARD, LIUQIONG LU, JAMES ROBERTSON, ANGELA C. TELFER and PAUL D. N. HEBERT Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada Abstract Approximately 1460 species of spiders have been reported from Canada, 3% of the global fauna. This study provides a DNA barcode reference library for 1018 of these species based upon the analysis of more than 30 000 specimens. The sequence results show a clear barcode gap in most cases with a mean intraspecific divergence of 0.78% vs. a min- imum nearest-neighbour (NN) distance averaging 7.85%. The sequences were assigned to 1359 Barcode index num- bers (BINs) with 1344 of these BINs composed of specimens belonging to a single currently recognized species. There was a perfect correspondence between BIN membership and a known species in 795 cases, while another 197 species were assigned to two or more BINs (556 in total). A few other species (26) were involved in BIN merges or in a combination of merges and splits. There was only a weak relationship between the number of specimens analysed for a species and its BIN count. However, three species were clear outliers with their specimens being placed in 11– 22 BINs. Although all BIN splits need further study to clarify the taxonomic status of the entities involved, DNA bar- codes discriminated 98% of the 1018 species. The present survey conservatively revealed 16 species new to science, 52 species new to Canada and major range extensions for 426 species. -

MAPPING THE VARIATION IN SPIDER BODY COLOURATION FROM AN INSECT PERSPECTIVE Ajuria-Ibarra, H. 1 Tapia-McClung, H. 2 & D. Rao 1 1. INBIOTECA, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Veracruz, México. 2. Laboratorio Nacional de Informática Avanzada, A.C., Xalapa, Veracruz, México. Colour variation is frequently observed in orb web spiders. Such variation can impact fitness by affecting the way spiders are perceived by relevant observers such as prey (i.e. by resembling flower signals as visual lures) and predators (i.e. by disrupting search image formation). Verrucosa arenata is an orb-weaving spider that presents colour variation in a conspicuous triangular pattern on the dorsal part of the abdomen. This pattern has predominantly white or yellow colouration, but also reflects light in the UV part of the spectrum. We quantified colour variation in V. arenata from images obtained using a full spectrum digital camera. We obtained cone catch quanta and calculated chromatic and achromatic contrasts for the visual systems of Drosophila melanogaster and Apis mellifera. Cluster analyses of the colours of the triangular patch resulted in the formation of six and three statistically different groups in the colour space of D. melanogaster and A. mellifera, respectively. Thus, no continuous colour variation was found. -
Diversidad De Arañas En Ecosistemas Forestales Como Indicadoras De Altitud Y Disturbio Diversity of Spiders in Forest Ecosystem
Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales Vol. 9 (50) DOI: https://doi.org/10.29298/rmcf.v9i50.225 Article Diversidad de arañas en ecosistemas forestales como indicadoras de altitud y disturbio Diversity of spiders in forest ecosystems as elevation and disturbance indicators Indira Reta-Heredia1, Enrique Jurado1*, Marisela Pando-Moreno1, Humberto González-Rodríguez1, Arturo Mora-Olivo2 y Eduardo Estrada-Castillón1 Resumen: Las arañas son organismos depredadores que por ser pequeños y fáciles de detectar resultan ideales para la realización de estudios de variación ambiental y disturbio. Se estudiaron 45 comunidades de arañas en dos grandes montañas del noreste de México: el cerro El Potosí, en el sur de Nuevo León; y Peña Nevada, en el sur de Tamaulipas. Se determinó el tipo de vegetación, la actividad humana, la ganadería, y la degradación de suelo. Se definió un índice de disturbio. La hipótesis planteada se refiere a la presencia de una menor diversidad de arañas en los sitios con más disturbio. Se obtuvieron 541 individuos, agrupados en 23 familias; de ellas, las más abundantes fueron: Lycosidae, Anyphaenidae y Gnaphosidae. La distribución de las especies se asoció con la presencia de hojarasca. No se detectó relación entre la diversidad de arañas y la altitud o el disturbio. Pardosa sp. fue la más abundante en sitios conservados. Las familias Lycosidae, Thomisidae y Pholcidae fueron las mejor representadas en zonas con mayor intervención humana. Este estudio en dos zonas forestales importantes del noreste de México servirá de pauta para investigaciones posteriores de biodiversidad en ecosistemas forestales y la influencia de la variación ambiental y el disturbio. -

We brengen hulde aan een man die veel gegeven heeft voor de arachnologie in het algemeen en meer specifiek voor onze vereniging. Jean-Pierre is altijd een belangrijke pion geweest in het bestaan van ARABEL. Hij was medestichter van de “Werkgroep ARABEL” in 1976 en op zijn aanraden werd gestart met het publiceren van de “Nieuwsbrief” in 1986, het jaar waarin ook ARABEL een officiële vzw werd. Hij is eindredacteur van de “Nieuwsbrief” geweest van 1990 tot en met 2002. Sinds het ontstaan van onze vereniging is Jean-Pierre achtereenvolgens penningmeester geweest van 1986 tot en met 1989, ondervoorzitter van 1990 tot en met 1995 om uiteindelijk voorzitter te worden van 1996 tot en met 1999. Pas in 2003 gaf hij zijn fakkel als bestuurslid over aan de “jeugd”. Dit afscheid is des te erger omdat Jean- Pierre er na 6 jaar afwezigheid terug een lap ging op geven, door opnieuw bestuurslid te worden in 2009 en aldus verkozen werd als Secretaris. Alle artikels in dit nummer opgenomen worden naar hem opgedragen. Jean-Pierre Maelfait nous a quitté le 6 février de cette année. Nous rendons hommage à un homme qui a beaucoup donné dans sa vie pour l’arachnologie en général et plus particulièrement pour Arabel. Jean-Pierre a toujours été un pion important dans la vie de notre Société. -

Culin, Committee Chair Dr. Eric Benson Dr. William Bridges ABSTRACT This study examined the epigeic spider fauna in Kings Mountain National Military Park. The aim of this study is to make this information available to park management for use in the preservation of natural resources. Pitfall trapping was conducted monthly for one year in three distinct habitats: riparian, forest, and ridge-top. The study was conducted from August 2009 to July 2010. One hundred twenty samples were collected in each site. Overall, 289 adult spiders comprising 66 species were collected in the riparian habitat, 345 adult comprising 57 species were found in the forest habitat, and 240 adults comprising 47 species were found in the ridge-top habitat. -
