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.

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

    © Arachnologische Gesellschaft e.V. Frankfurt/Main; http://arages.de/ Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 53: 19-28 Karlsruhe, April 2017 Arachnids from the greenhouses of the Botanical Garden of the PJ Šafárik University in Košice, Slovakia (Arachnida: Araneae, Opiliones, Palpigradi, Pseudoscorpiones) Anna Šestáková, Martin Suvák, Katarína Krajčovičová, Andrea Kaňuchová & Jana Christophoryová doi: 10.5431/aramit5304 Abstract. This is the first detailed contribution on the arachnid fauna from heated greenhouses in the Botanical Garden of the P.J. Šafárik University in Košice (Slovakia). Over ten years 62 spider taxa in 21 families were found. Two spiders, Mermessus trilobatus (Emerton, 1882) and Hasarius adansoni (Audouin, 1826), were recorded in Slovakia for the first time. Another interesting record was the cellar spider Hoplopholcus sp. and a new locality for the exotic spiders Coleosoma floridanum Banks, 1900 and Triaeris stenaspis Simon, 1891 was discovered. Additionally, a short survey of other arachnids (except Acari) was done. A single specimen of a provisionally identifiable palpigrade species (cf. Eukoenenia florenciae), one harvestmen species, Opilio canestrinii (Thorell, 1876), and four pseudoscorpion species were recorded. The rare pseudoscorpion species Chthonius ressli Beier, 1956 was collected for the second time in Slovakia.

  • Spiders (Araneae) of Churchill, Manitoba: DNA Barcodes And
    Blagoev et al. BMC Ecology 2013, 13:44 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6785/13/44 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Spiders (Araneae) of Churchill, Manitoba: DNA barcodes and morphology reveal high species diversity and new Canadian records Gergin A Blagoev1*, Nadya I Nikolova1, Crystal N Sobel1, Paul DN Hebert1,2 and Sarah J Adamowicz1,2 Abstract Background: Arctic ecosystems, especially those near transition zones, are expected to be strongly impacted by climate change. Because it is positioned on the ecotone between tundra and boreal forest, the Churchill area is a strategic locality for the analysis of shifts in faunal composition. This fact has motivated the effort to develop a comprehensive biodiversity inventory for the Churchill region by coupling DNA barcoding with morphological studies. The present study represents one element of this effort; it focuses on analysis of the spider fauna at Churchill. Results: 198 species were detected among 2704 spiders analyzed, tripling the count for the Churchill region. Estimates of overall diversity suggest that another 10–20 species await detection. Most species displayed little intraspecific sequence variation (maximum <1%) in the barcode region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, but four species showed considerably higher values (maximum = 4.1-6.2%), suggesting cryptic species. All recognized species possessed a distinct haplotype array at COI with nearest-neighbour interspecific distances averaging 8.57%. Three species new to Canada were detected: Robertus lyrifer (Theridiidae), Baryphyma trifrons (Linyphiidae), and Satilatlas monticola (Linyphiidae). The first two species may represent human-mediated introductions linked to the port in Churchill, but the other species represents a range extension from the USA.

    Check-list of Polish spiders (Araneae, except Salticidae) file:///D:/Internet/Polen/Polen Spinnenliste 2004.htm Check-list of Polish spiders (Araneae, except Salticidae) 1. November, 2004 by Wojciech STARĘGA Instytut Biologii, Katedra Zoologii, Akademia Podlaska, Siedlce [email protected] The present list is a compilation and continuation of the earlier check-lists of Polish spiders (PRÓSZYŃSKI & STARĘGA 1971, 1997, 2003, STARĘGA 1983, PROSZYNSKI & STAREGA 2002]. It will be currently updated, according to the progress of cognition of the country's spider fauna. I give also a list of the most important faunistic and other publications after 1971 which add any species new to the Polish fauna (or cross out some of them). The nomenclatural changes were regarded as far as possible to unify the names used in Polish arachnological literature with those in foreign check-lists and catalogues (e.g. PLATEN & al. 1995, commented by BLICK 1998), NENTWIG et. at. 2003, TANASEVITCH 2004, and first of all, with the latest version (5.0) of the "Spider Catalog" by PLATNICK (2004). The species, which occurrence in Poland is certain, have serial numbers, some exceptions which need confirmation or re-examination are marked with "X" sign instead of a number; doubtful species were not listed, though named in earlier papers (pre-1971). Species described from Poland (or with Polish localities mentioned in their original descriptions) are marked with „☼” sign. Species not "officially" known (i.e. published) from Poland but whose occurrence is already confirmed have remark „(fide ... [the name of its finder])". Some nomenclatorical remarks are given in square brackets. The species protected by law are marked with an asterisk (*), threatened ones - with symbols (in italics) used in the newest "Red list of threatened species in Poland" (STARĘGA & al.

  • Spiders (Araneae) of the Abandoned Pasture Near the Village of Malé Kršteňany (Western Slovakia)
    Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Naturae, 2: 39–56, 2017, ISSN 2543-8832 DOI: 10.24917/25438832.2.3 Valerián Franc*, Michal Fašanga Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Matej Bel University, Tajovského 40, 97401 Banská Bystrica, *[email protected] Spiders (Araneae) of the abandoned pasture near the village of Malé Kršteňany (Western Slovakia) Introduction Our research site is located on the SE slope of the hill of Drieňový vrch (cadaster of the village of Malé Kršteňany). 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.

They summarize current knowledge with an emphasis on near-natural restoration, in light of theoretical aspects of restoration ecology as the young scientific field. The proceedings are largely based on contributions presented at a workshop organized by the Calla NGO and the Working Group for Restoration Ecology, Fac- ulty of Science, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. About 30 special- ists, both scientists and practitioners, attended the workshop. This English version emerged from the Czech one published in 2010, adapting the texts to an interna- tional readership, reducing local and too specific information. The proceedings are published under the bilateral German-Czech project DBU AZ26858-33/2 (Utilisa- tion of near-natural re-vegetation methods in restoration of surface-mined land – principles and practices of ecological restoration) thus a brief chapter reflecting German experiences is newly included.

  • First Record of the Alien Spider Species Mermessus Trilobatus (Araneae: Linyphiidae) in Ukraine
    © Arachnologische Gesellschaft e.V. Frankfurt/Main; http://arages.de/ Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 54: 41-43 Karlsruhe, September 2017 First record of the alien spider species Mermessus trilobatus (Araneae: Linyphiidae) in Ukraine Anna Hirna doi: 10.5431/aramit5409 Abstract. Mermessus trilobatus (Emerton, 1882) is recorded for the first time in Ukraine. Its presence represents the easternmost bound- ary of this species in Europe. One male was found in the glacial cirque of the mountain massif Svydivets’ in the Ukrainian Carpathians at an altitude of 1495 m. The locality is a mountain stream, the banks of which have been moderately grazed by sheep. Information on the distribution of this species in Central and Eastern Europe is given. Keywords: non-native species, Ukrainian Carpathians Zusammenfassung. Erstnachweis der neozoischen Spinnenart Mermessus trilobatus (Araneae: Linyphiidae) in der Ukraine. Mer- messus trilobatus (Emerton, 1882) wird erstmals für die Ukraine nachgewiesen. Es ist der östlichste Verbreitungspunkt der Art in Europa. Ein Männchen wurde in einem Kartal des Bergmassifs Svydivets in den Ukrainischen Karpaten in 1495 m Höhe gefangen. Der Fundort ist an einem Bergbach, dessen Uferbereiche extensiv mit Schafen beweidet wurden. Die Verbreitung der Art in Mittel- und Osteuropa wird diskutiert. ( The European spider fauna comprises almost 4600 species, Porrhomma convexum (Westring, 1851) 1 and Sittiflor ru- (( of which 184 (4 %) are allochthonous in Europe (Nentwig picola (C. L. Koch, 1837) 2 , 6 juv. 2015, Helsdingen 2016). Among them, Mermessus trilobatus Fragmentary data about the fauna of the Svydivets’ moun- was introduced from North America relatively recently (in tain massif has been known since the middle of the twentieth the 1980s) into south-western Germany (Karlsruhe; Dum- century (Baum 1934, Balogh 1940, Balogh & Loksa 1947a, pert & Platen 1985).
