This work summarises data on the spider fauna (Araneae) of the Bohemian Karst Protected Landscape Area (central Bohemia, southwest of Prague) in the period 1894 to 2009. A great number of data available for xerothermic habitats (rock and forest steppes) is complemented by records obtained from various other habitats (deciduous or evergeen forests, wetlands, river banks, caves, quarries and disturbed or developed areas). From 56 investigated localities, we identified a total of 446 spider species, many of which belong among rare and endangered in the Czech Republic. ŵ Key words: spiders, Araneae, Czech Republic, faunistics, Bohemian Karst Úvod a historie výzkumu PĜedkládaná práce shrnuje dosavadní výsledky výzkumu o araneofaunČ chránČné krajinné oblasti ýeský kras. Plošina se zaoblenými vrcholy a s hluboce zaklesnutým korytem Berounky a jejích pĜítokĤ, rozkládající se jihozápadnČ od Prahy, byla již odedávna stĜedem pozornosti mnoha pĜírodovČdcĤ rozliþných 5 BOHEMIA CENTRALIS 30 oborĤ. ýeští pĜírodovČdci a ochranáĜi se snažili o poznání a zachování zdejší vynikající kvČteny, zvíĜeny a pozoruhodností povrchového utváĜení, a to již v dobách, kdy využívání a devastace krajiny zdaleka nedosahovaly dnešních rozmČrĤ. PodstatnČjší zmínka o pĜírodním bohatství tohoto území se objevila již v roce 1786 od známého botanika Tadeáše Haenkeho a od konce 18. století zde pracovala nespoþetná Ĝada geologĤ, speleologĤ, botanikĤ i zoologĤ (Maršáková et Moucha, 1974). Množství údajĤ o faunČ ýeského krasu je rozptýleno v þetných publikacích. PĜírodČ ýeského krasu je vČnováno celé þíslo sborníku Bohemia centralis (3, 1974) a podstatná þást þísla 28 (2007). Monotematické práce se vČnují hlavnČ hmyzu (Scholz 1980; Strejþek 1974; Soldát 1978; Soldát et Starý 1978; Krušek et Soldát 1980; ŠpryĖar et al. 2002; Vávra 1993, 2000; Zelený 2007 ) a mČkkýšĤm (Ložek 1946, 1974, 2007). První zmínky o pavoucích ýeského krasu spadají do druhé poloviny 19. století. Emanuel Bárta, autor jedné z prvních araneologických prací z území ýech (Barta 1869) uvádí kromČĜady lokalit zejména v severních ýechách i Lochkov (který je sice vnČ hranic chránČné krajinné oblasti, náleží však k ýeskému krasu geologicky a geomorfologicky). V práci Antonína Noska (Nosek 1895) je z území ýeského krasu zmínČno již 33 druhĤ pavoukĤ, z nichž 22 bylo zjištČno na území dnešní chránČné krajinné oblasti (s lokalitou „KarlĤv Týn“), zbylé druhy pocházejí z lokalit „Radotínské údolí“, popĜ. „Radotín“. Noskovy údaje uvádí spolu s nČkolika vlastními údaji Baum (1929, 1930, 1938). Na konci padesátých let byl uskuteþĖován výzkum štírkĤ v oblasti Královy studnČ a spolu s jeho výsledky bylo publikováno i nČkolik údajĤ o pavoucích (Verner 1959). První soustavný araneologický výzkum ýeského krasu byl uskuteþnČn v letech 1959–1968 pracovníky Katedry systematické zoologie PĜírodovČdecké fakulty Univerzity Karlovy. Realizován byl pĜedevším metodou formalínových pastí a stal se postupnČ souþástí projektu srovnání 21 modelových lokalit rozmístČných na území ýech (Buchar 1972). Podíleli se na nČm J. Buchar a E.

Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as host and intruder: recent advances and future directions in the study of exploitative strategies Table S1: This table summarizes host/parasite relationships that have been described or discussed in the literature since 2000. Host and parasite nomenclature is up‐to‐date based on AntWeb.org, but note that some of the taxonomy is controversial and/or not fully resolved. Names are likely to change further in coming years. Due to changing nomenclature, it can be challenging to track which species have been well‐studied. We provide recently changed species and genus names parenthetically. In addition, we have split this table to show recent taxonomic revisions, compilations (e.g. tables in empirical papers), reviews, books, or species descriptions supporting relationships between hosts and parasites in one column and articles studying characteristics of host/parasite relationships in a second column. For well‐studied species, we limit the ‘primary research’ column to five citations, which are selected to cover different topics and different research teams when such diverse citations exist. Because of the active work on taxonomy in many groups, some misinformation has been inadvertently propagated in previous articles.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Palaearctic Formica Species (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Based on Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Sequences
    Phylogenetic Relationships of Palaearctic Formica Species (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Based on Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Sequences Anna V. Goropashnaya1,2*, Vadim B. Fedorov2, Bernhard Seifert3, Pekka Pamilo4 1 Department of Ecology and Genetics, EBC, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden, 2 Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska, United States of America, 3 Senckenberg Museum of Natural History, Go¨rlitz, Germany, 4 Department of Biosciences, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland Abstract Ants of genus Formica demonstrate variation in social organization and represent model species for ecological, behavioral, evolutionary studies and testing theoretical implications of the kin selection theory. Subgeneric division of the Formica ants based on morphology has been questioned and remained unclear after an allozyme study on genetic differentiation between 13 species representing all subgenera was conducted. In the present study, the phylogenetic relationships within the genus were examined using mitochondrial DNA sequences of the cytochrome b and a part of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6. All 23 Formica species sampled in the Palaearctic clustered according to the subgeneric affiliation except F. uralensis that formed a separate phylogenetic group. Unlike Coptoformica and Formica s. str., the subgenus Serviformica did not form a tight cluster but more likely consisted of a few small clades. The genetic distances between the subgenera were around 10%, implying approximate divergence time of 5 Myr if we used the conventional insect divergence rate of 2% per Myr. Within-subgenus divergence estimates were 6.69% in Serviformica, 3.61% in Coptoformica, 1.18% in Formica s. str., which supported our previous results on relatively rapid speciation in the latter subgenus.

Zool. Fennici 46: 1–15. In the first year’s data of the 10th Finnish National Forest Inventory (2005–2008) 533 active and 178 abandoned ant mounds were found yielding 4.2 mounds ha–1. We found 11 species: Formica rufa, F. polyctena, F. aquilonia, F. lugubris, F. pratensis, F. exsecta, F. fennica, F. pressilabris, F. forsslundi, F. suecica and F. uralensis. Five spe- cies occurred throughout the country, and four were restricted to the south. We found species-specific associations with either mineral soils or mires, with forest site type and with tree-canopy openness. Low fertility decreased the occurrence of polygynous species with large worker force, and sun-exposition was favourable for species with smaller colonies presumably because only large worker force enables metabolic ther- moregulation of nests. Forest fragmentation and increased amount of edge habitats favourable for colony founding have presumably increased nest density whereas drain- age of mires has reduced the amount of habitat of three species since the 1950s.

ZooKeys 1006: 99–136. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1006.58808 Abstract The location of Nepal in the Central Himalaya promotes high habitat and species diversity. Ant diversity is likely high, but there have been few studies of the diversity and distribution of ants in Nepal. Here we present an updated checklist list of Nepalese ants that includes 128 named species in 48 genera and eight subfamilies. Among these species, 21 species have a type locality from Nepal, nine species are endemic to Nepal, and three are introduced species. We add six new ant records for Nepal, namely Harpegnathos venator, Monomorium pharaonis, Nylanderia bourbonica, Odontoponera denticulata, Polyrhachis tyrannica and Pseudoneoponera bispinosa. The checklist presents distribution records for Nepalese ant species and provides comparisons with the neighboring countries of China and India. Keywords Endemic, Himalaya, Myrmica, Nepal, Strumigenys, type locality Introduction Ants (family Formicidae) are one of the most successful groups of organisms on the planet (Hölldobler and Wilson 1990) and together with termites, have been found to make up 30% of animal biomass in the Amazon rain forest (Fittkau and Klinge 1973).

  • Modelling Biodiversity Trends from Occurrence Records
    Modelling Biodiversity Trends from Occurrence Records Charlotte Louise Outhwaite A thesis submitted for the degree of: Doctor of Philosophy University College London September 2018 Primary supervisor: Dr Nick J. B. Isaac Secondary supervisors: Dr Ben Collen Prof. Richard E. Chandler Prof. Richard D. Gregory | 2 I, Charlotte Louise Outhwaite, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Charlotte Outhwaite, 21st September 2018 | 3 Abstract Large-scale studies of biodiversity change are limited in their taxonomic coverage: a lot is known about the trends of groups such as birds, butterflies and mammals, but little is known about invertebrates and plants. This is due to the lack of abundance data for these groups. However, alternative data such as occurrence records are available for a vast range of species and advances in methodologies are enabling their robust analysis. Here, I analyse UK occurrence records using Bayesian occupancy modelling techniques to determine the status, patterns and drivers of change in less well-studied taxa. First, variations of an occupancy modelling framework were tested to determine whether methods could be improved. This resulted in a “random walk” model that could analyse sparse occurrence records while producing results with increased precision and reduced bias when compared to other variants. This enabled the application of the model to data for over 12,000 species from 32 taxa including vascular plants and numerous invertebrate groups. The resulting estimates of annual occupancy present new information on large-scale change from fine-grained data.
