C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560 Herbert W. Levi Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 KEY WORDS: taxonomy, phytogeny, cladistics, biology, diversity INTRODUCTION In the last 15 years understanding of the higher systematics of Araneae has changed greatly. Large classical superfamilies and families have turned out to be poly- or paraphyletic; posited relationships were often based on sym- plesiomorphies. In this brief review we summarize current taxonomic and phylogenetic knowledge and suggest where future efforts might profitably be concentrated. We lack space to discuss fully all the clades mentioned, and the cited numbers of described taxa are only approximate. Other aspects of spider biology have been summarized by Barth (7), Eberhard (47), Jackson & Parks (72), Nentwig (105), Nyffeler & Benz (106), Riechert & Lockley (134), Shear (149) and Turnbull (160).

Spiders are among the most diverse groups on earth. Among these taxa, spiders are exceptional for their complete dependence on predation as a trophic strategy. In contrast, the diversity of insects and mites may result from their diversity in dietary strategies•notably phytophagy and parasitism (104).

  • Pirate Spiders of the Genus Ero C.L KOCH from Southern Europe, Yemen, and Ivory Coast, with Two New Species (Arachnida, Araneae, Mimetidae)1
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Denisia 13 | 17.09.2004 | 359-368 Pirate spiders of the genus Ero C.L KOCH from southern Europe, Yemen, and Ivory Coast, with two new species (Arachnida, Araneae, Mimetidae)1 K. THALER, A. VAN HARTEN ft B. KNOFLACH Abstract: Two new species are described from Yemen and Ivory Coast respectively, Ero felix nov. spec, (cr 9), E. ebumea nov. spec. ( 9 ). In this context, the five species known from this genus from the Mediterranean have been re-considered, and a new synonym has been discovered: E. ligurica KULCZYNSKI 1905 = E. flammeola SIMON 1884. From genital characters the species cluster into two groups, around E. furcata and E. aphana respectively. Both groups include species with globular and with tuberculate abdomen. Probably, cryptic concealment is the function of a tu- berculate abdomen, since these species tend to move in the vegetation layer, whereas those with globular abdomen move near the ground, at the surface of rocks, and tree bark. Finally, general distribution patterns are briefly dis- cussed. Key words: Mimetidae, Ero, taxonomy, new species, genital characters, crypsis, Mediterranean, Yemen, Ivory Coast. 1 Introduction 2 Descriptive section Pirate spiders constitute a small family and can be Ero aphana (WALCKENAER 1802) (Fig. 1-2, recognised best by the peculiar spination of their forelegs. 5-8, 19, 25, 31. 37-40, 47-48, 52-53a, b) They probably belong to Orbiculariae (SHEAR 1981, SCHUTT 2000).

  • Arachnida, Araneae) Da Reserva Florestal Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil
    A ARANEOFAUNA (ARACHNIDA, ARANEAE) DA RESERVA FLORESTAL DUCKE, MANAUS, AMAZONAS, BRASIL Alexandre B. Bonaldo, Antonio D. Brescovit, Hubert Höfer, Thierry R. Gasnier & Arno A. Lise “So that, although many a familiar form will meet the eye of the English arach- nologist on the Amazons, yet there are countless forms differing in size, in struc- ture, and in colour from anything that he can find amongst the spider-fauna of Northern Europe... One must confess, too, that at the present time arachnologists still know next to nothing of the spiders of Brazil” (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1896 apud Hillyard, 1994). “If there are actually 170.000 species of spiders in the world and systematic work continues at the pace it has exhibited since 1955, it will take another 638 years to finish describing the world spider fauna” (Platnick, 1999). IntroduÇÃO As aranhas estão entre os animais mais facilmente reconhecidos pelos seres humanos. Como todos os outros aracnídeos, elas apresentam o corpo dividido em cefalotórax e abdome, um par de palpos, quatro pares de apên- dices locomotores e peças bucais especiais, chamadas quelíceras. Entretanto, esses animais apresentam uma série de caracteres exclusivos, como separação entre o cefalotórax e o abdome por um pedicelo, presença de glândulas pro- dutoras de peçonha, a qual é exteriorizada através das garras das quelíceras, e de glândulas produtoras de seda, a qual é exteriorizada através de apêndices abdominais modificados, as fiandeiras. A faculdade de produzir peçonha e seda fez das aranhas figuras recorrentes na mitologia e no imaginário popular de diversas culturas. Contudo, outras características bem menos conhecidas pelo público são igualmente impressionantes, como por exemplo, as modifi- cações do tarso do palpo do macho que permitem a transmissão de esperma durante a cópula, a imensa variedade de estratégias de predação que utilizam ou os importantes papéis que desempenham, como predadores de insetos e outros animais, na manutenção do equilíbrio de ecossistemas terrestres.

    Ontogeny and Homology in the Male Palpus of Orb-weaving Spiders and Their Relatives, with Comments on Phylogeny (Araneoclada: Araneoidea, Deinopoidea) JONATHAN A. CODDINGTON miut. SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 496 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

Área de concentração: Zoologia Orientador: Prof. Dr. Adalberto José dos Santos Coorientador: Dr. Ubirajara de Oliveira Belo Horizonte 2019 Agradecimentos A finalização desse trabalho só foi possível graças àqueles que contribuíram para minha formação acadêmica e suporte psicológico, a todos esses agradeço o tempo e ajuda. Agradeço aos professores e colegas de turma pelos aprendizados ao longo desses sete longos anos de carreira acadêmica e por me mostrarem as oportunidades que a biologia tem a oferecer. Agradeço especialmente ao Adal por aceitar me orientar, mesmo que eu tenha “entrado” no laboratório por difusão, em algum momento minhas visitas ficaram tão frequentes que minha presença se tornou usual e me tornei um membro da aracnologia e estávamos discutindo sobre possíveis trabalhos. Também agradeço pela paciência, compreensão e incentivo em executar um projeto que só tende a crescer, mesmo não tendo o foco sistemático da zoologia. Ao Bira, agradeço a oportunidade de me coorientar e, antes disso, de me apresentar essa disciplina fantástica que é a biogeografia e mostrar que ela não precisa ser o método de um trabalho, mas uma área totalmente diferente. A todos os colegas de laboratório fica um agradecimento especial, obrigado por deixarem o ambiente de trabalho algo tão descontraído e confortável, mesmo que em vários momentos meu humor não estivesse tão bom.
