In 25 this paper, we conducted a systematic revision of the Troglohyphantes species of the Italian Alps, 26 with a special focus on the Lucifuga complex, including the description of two new species (T. 27 lucifer n. sp. and T. apenninicus n. sp). In addition, we provided new diagnostic drawings of the 28 holotype of T. henroti (Henroti complex) and established three new synonymies within the genus. 29 The molecular analysis of the animal DNA barcode confirms the validity of this method of 30 identification of the Alpine Troglohyphantes and provides additional support for the morphology- 31 based species complexes. Finally, we revised the known distribution range of additional 32 Troglohyphantes species, as well as other poorly known alpine cave-dwelling spiders.

  • The Coume Ouarnède System, a Hotspot of Subterranean Biodiversity in Pyrenees (France)

The system, developed in massive Mesozoic limestone, has two distinct resur- gences. Despite relatively limited sampling, its subterranean fauna is rich, composed of a number of local endemics, terrestrial as well as aquatic, including two remarkable relictual species, Arbasus cae- cus (Simon, 1911) and Tritomurus falcifer Cassagnau, 1958. With 38 stygobiotic and troglobiotic species recorded so far, the Coume Ouarnède system is the second richest subterranean hotspot in France and the first one in Pyrenees. This species richness is, however, expected to increase because several taxonomic groups, like Ostracoda, as well as important subterranean habitats, like MSS (“Milieu Souterrain Superficiel”), have not been considered so far in inventories. Similar levels of subterranean biodiversity are expected to occur in less-sampled karsts of central and western Pyrenees.

In India, the Linyphiidae is represented by 94 species in 39 genera in 19 states and 3 union territories and 48 species are endemic. In India, Oedothorax Bertkau, 1883 is the largest genus consisting 17 species. Maximum 32 species of these spiders were recorded in Jammu & Kashmir followed by 18 species each in Kerala, Uttarakhand and West Bengal. In northeast part of India, 12 linyphiid species are recorded in Meghalaya while no species is reported yet from Arunchal Pradesh, Nagaland and Tripura. Interestingly, larger states in central India like Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Telangana are very poorly represented by these spiders and need extensive survey for these spiders. None of the linyphiid spiders of India are recorded as endangered or vulnerable species in IUCN Red List of threatened Taxa. Therefore, conservation efforts are immediately needed for their conservation practices.

Here we examine the basis of color variation in spiders and its evolutionary and ecological implications. Reversible color changes, resulting from several mechanisms, are surprisingly widespread in the group and must be distinguished from true genetic variation for color to be used as an evolutionary tool. Genetic polymorphism occurs in a large number of families and is frequently sex limited: Sex linkage has not yet been demonstrated, nor have the forces promoting sex limitation been elucidated. It is argued that the production of color is metabolically costly and is principally maintained by the action of sight-hunting predators. Key avenues for future research are suggested. INTRODUCTION Differences in color and pattern among individuals have long been recognized as providing a tractable system with which to address fundamental evolutionary questions (57).

  • Diversity and Community Assembly Patterns of Epigean Vs. Troglobiont Spiders in the Iberian Peninsula Pedro Cardoso1

Diversity and community assembly patterns of epigean vs. troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula. International Journal of Speleology, 41(1), 83-94. Tampa, FL (USA). ISSN 0392-6672. http://dx.doi.org/10.5038/1827-806X.41.1.9 Cave-obligate organisms usually have smaller ranges and their assemblages have higher beta diversity than their epigean counterparts. Phylogenetic and functional diversity is usually low in cave communities, leading to taxonomic and functional disharmony, with entire groups missing from the subterranean realm. The objective of this work is to compare range, beta diversity, phylogenetic and functional diversity, taxonomic and functional disharmony of epigean versus troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula. The median extent of occurrence was found to be 33 times higher for epigean than for cave species. Beta diversity was significantly higher for troglobiont assemblages. Cave assemblages present lower phylogenetic and functional diversities than expected by chance. Taxonomic disharmony was noticeable, with many speciose families, namely Gnaphosidae, Salticidae and Lycosidae, absent in caves. Functional disharmony was equally high, with ambush hunters and sensing web weavers being absent in caves. The small range and high beta diversity of troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula is typical of many cave-obligate organisms, caused by the fragmentation and isolation of cave systems and the low vagility and high habitat specialization of species.

FAUNISTIC DIVERSITY AND ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF CAVE-DWELLING SPIDERS ON THE BALKAN PENINSULA Christo Deltshev Institute of Zoology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria Abstract — A total of 326 species from 115 genera and 31 families of Araneae have been established in caves of the Balkan Penisula so far. The species are distributed in different territories as follows: Bulgaria – 99; Greece (Mainland) – 72; Greece (Insular part) – 16; Crete – 44; Croatia – 63; Serbia – 59; Bosnia – 52; Macedonia – 44; Montenegro – 44; Slovenia – 43; Albania – 10; Turkey – eight; and Romania – four species. The largest number of troglobites are encountered in the Dinaric region – 113 (39 blind), Pindus region – 32 (eight blind), Thracian-Macedonian region – 18 (four blind), Balkanid region – 13 (two blind), Danubian region — one; and North Dobruja region — four (three blind) species. The extreme rich- ness of troglobitic spiders in these regions leads to the assumption that these were major centers of speciation and evolution of species. On the basis of their current distribution, the established 324 species can be classified into 17 zoogeographical categories, grouped into four complexes (widely distributed, European, Mediterranean, and Balkan endemics). The largest number of species belong to the group of Balkan endemics (56.5%), which are also the most characteristic and reflect the local character of the fauna.

There are tales describing how they lay eggs in human skin, frequent toilet seats in airports, and crawl into your mouth when you are sleeping. Misinformation about spiders in the popular media and on the World Wide Web is rampant, leading to distorted perceptions and negative feelings about spiders. Despite these negative feelings, however, spiders offer intrigue and mystery and can be used to effectively engage even arachnophobic individuals.

The Journal of Arachnology 39:355–357 SHORT COMMUNICATION Morphological adaptations of Porrhomma spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae) inhabiting soil Vlastimil Ru˚zˇicˇka: Institute of Entomology, Biology Centre, AS CR, Branisˇovska´ 31, 370 05 Cˇ eske´ Budeˇjovice, Czech Republic. E-mail: [email protected] Vratislav Lasˇka, Jan Mikula and Ivan H. Tuf: Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science, Palacky´ University Olomouc, Svobody 26, 771 46 Olomouc, Czech Republic Abstract. We studied occurrence and morphological adaptations of two species of Porrhomma down to 135 cm soil depth. Porrhomma microps Simon 1884 inhabited soil layers at depths between 5 and 135 cm. Porrhomma aff. myops was found at depths of 35–95 cm. Specimens of both species were depigmented and had highly reduced eyes. Compared with the epigean P. pygmaeum (Blackwall 1834), P. myops, which inhabits scree and caves, exhibits significantly longer legs. We interpret it as an example of troglomorphism. Compared with the epigean P. pygmaeum, P. aff. myops is found deep in the soil and exhibits a significantly smaller cephalothorax. We interpret this as edaphomorphism. We assume the edaphomorphic population of P. aff. myops to be permanent soil dwellers. Keywords: Araneae, soil profile, troglomorphisms, edaphomorphisms Spiders inhabit a wide spectrum of underground habitats such as a thick clay soil layer above arenaceous marl bedrock; 2) A floodplain inner spaces in stony debris, scree layers in slope accumulations, hardwood forest (49u399N, 17u119E) dominated by Fraxinus, Quercus fissure networks of the bedrock, karst and pseudokarst caves and Tilia on the bank of the Morava River near wet meadow, (Ru˚zˇicˇka 1999; Culver & Pipan 2009; Giachino & Vailati 2010).

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 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.
