Edwards Florida State Collection of Arthropods Division of Plant Industry P. O. Box 147100 Gainesville, FL 32614-7100 USA Robert J. Wolff1 Biology Department Trinity Christian College 6601 West College Drive Palos Heights, IL 60463 USA The following is a list of the jumping spiders that have been reported from the Caribbean region. We have interpreted this in a broad sense, so that all islands from Trinidad to the Bahamas have been included. Furthermore, we have included Bermuda, even though it is well north of the Caribbean region proper, as a more logical extension of the island fauna rather than the continental North American fauna. This was mentioned by Banks (1902b) nearly a century ago. Country or region (e. g., pantropical) records are included for those species which have broader ranges than the Caribbean area. We have not specifically included the islands of the Florida Keys, even though these could legitimately be included in the Caribbean region, because the known fauna is mostly continental. However, when Florida is known as the only continental U.S.A. -

Spiders reference sites away from the river or point sources of mercury pollution (agricultural fields collected from 6 sites were kept frozen until and headwater streams). We measured total mercury across species, age classes, and sexes from June to analyzed. for several species of ground spider and a web-building spider at these sites. Spiders from November of 2015 mine fire sites had total mercury levels over 2.5 times higher than those in riparian zones and 2016.

The Duration of Copulation in Spiders: Comparative Patterns
Records of the Western Australian Museum Supplement No. 52: 1-11 (1995). The duration of copulation in spiders: comparative patterns Mark A. Elgar Department of Zoology, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria 3052, Australia Abstract - The duration of copulation in spiders varies both-within and between species, and in the latter by several orders of magnitude. The sources of this variation are explored in comparative analyses of the duration of copulation and other life-history variables of 135 species of spiders from 26 families. The duration of copulation is correlated with body size within several species, but the pattern is not consistent and more generally there is no inter-specific covariation between these variables. The duration of copulation within orb-weaving spiders is associated with both the location of mating and the frequency of sexual cannibalism, suggesting that the length of copulation is limited by the risk of predation. Finally, entelegyne spiders copulate for longer than haplogyne spiders, a pattern that can be interpreted in terms of male mating strategies or the complexity of their copulatory apparatus. INTRODUCTION after the copulatory organ has been inserted. In It is widely recognised that there are conflicts of species in which females mate with several males, interest between males and females in the choice of copulation may provide the male with the mating partner and the frequency of mating (e.g. opportunity to manipulate the sperm of other Elgar 1992). Thus, while the principal function of males that previously mated with that female. For copulation is to transfer gametes, the act of mating example, copulating male damselflies not only may have several additional functions, such as transfer their own sperm, but also remove the mate assessment or ensuring sperm priority, and sperm of rival males (e.g. -
