A total of 88 species and 7 subspecies from 35 genera belonging to 7 families were determined. The distribution in Turkey and the world of these taxa is given and their distribution in the geographical regions of Turkey are presented.

ITO contribbtes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 14 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations In overseas projects and programmes of research.

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.

Morphometric changes of the central nervous system of oligomelic Tegenaria atrica spiders. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 64: 113-119. Oligomely is an anomaly manifested in the morphology of spiders (except for deformations of the prosoma and exoskeleton), by the absence of one or more appendages, and in their anatomy by the absence of neuromeres. This study was aimed at determining whether there is a correlation between the absence of a neuromere or its half in the subesophageal ganglia and the volume of the prosoma. Morphometric studies involved oligomelic specimens of Tegenaria atrica with the absence of one walking leg and two walking legs. Volumetric analysis concerned with nymph stage II of spiders obtained after exposing the embryos to alternating temperatures of 14 and 320C. The results were compared with those obtained from the histological analysis of the prosoma and central nervous system of control individuals. It was found that there was no relationship between the absence of half or an entire neuromere and the volume of the prosoma of oligomelic specimens. The volume of the central nervous system decreased but the volume change was not proportional to the changes in the prosoma volume. During studies, it was found that the lack of neuromeres resulted in an increase in the volume of remaining neuromeres.

  • Araneae (Spider) Photos
    Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison.

  • Phylogenetic Analysis of Phalangida (Arachnida, Opiliones) Using Two Nuclear Protein-Encoding Genes Supports Monophyly of Palpatores
    2001. The Journal of Arachnology 29:189±200 PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF PHALANGIDA (ARACHNIDA, OPILIONES) USING TWO NUCLEAR PROTEIN-ENCODING GENES SUPPORTS MONOPHYLY OF PALPATORES Jeffrey W. Shultz: Department of Entomology, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742 USA Jerome C. Regier: Center for Agricultural Biotechnology, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, College Park, Maryland 20742 USA ABSTRACT. Recent phylogenetic studies of Opiliones have shown that Cyphophthalmi and Phalangida (5 Palpatores 1 Laniatores) are sister groups, but higher relationships within Phalangida remain contro- versial. Current debate focuses on whether Palpatores (5 Caddoidea 1 Phalangioidea 1 Ischyropsalidoidea 1 Troguloidea) is monophyletic or paraphyletic, with Ischyropsalidoidea 1 Troguloidea (5 Dyspnoi) being more closely related to Laniatores. The latter hypothesis was favored in recent combined studies of ri- bosomal DNA and morphology. Here higher relationships within Phalangida are examined using two nuclear protein-encoding genes, elongation factor-1a (EF-1a) and RNA polymerase II (Pol II), from 27 opilion species representing seven superfamilies. Cyphophthalmi was used as the outgroup. Nucleotide and inferred amino acid sequences were analyzed using maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood methods. All analyses recovered Palpatores as the monophyletic sister group to Laniatores with moderate to strong empirical support. Most palpatorean superfamilies were also recovered, but relationships among them were ambiguous or weakly
